The cash conversion cyle is _____________ days. - Answers 109
OC = AAI + ACP =86 +56 = 142
AAI= Average age of inventory = (INV/COGS) X 365
ACP = Average collection period = (AR/REV) X 365
CCC = OC - APP = 142 - 33 = 109
APP = Average payment period = AP/COGS X 365

OC = AAI + ACP =86 +56 = 142
AAI= Average age of inventory = (INV/COGS) X 365
,ACP = Average collection period = (AR/REV) X 365
CCC = OC - APP = 142 - 56 = 109
APP = Average payment period = AP/COGS X 365
Inventory = COGS X (AAI/365) = $18,000,000 X (86/365) = $4,241,096
Accounts Receivable = REV X (ACP/365) = $32,000,000 X (56/365) = $4,909,589
Accounts Payable = PURCHASES X (APP/365) = $14,000,000 X (33/365) = $1,265,753
Resources Invested = NWC = INV + AR - AP = $4,241,096 + $4,909,589 - $1,265,753
