A decrease in which one of the following will increase the cash cycle, all else held constant? a. Payables turnover b. Days sales in inventory c. Operating cycle d. Inventory turnover rate e. Accounts receivable period
3. Calculate the Cash Conversion Cycle (use end-of-period amounts rather than average of receivables, inventory, and payables): • Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) = Receivables / (Sales/365) • Days Inventory Held (DIH) = Inventory / (CGS/365) • Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) = Payables/(CGS/365) • Operating Cycle = DSO + DIH • Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) = Operating Cycle - DPO 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 DIH 152.08 106.46 101.39 DSO 121.67 73.00 64.89 DPO 121.67 76.04 70.97 Operating Cycle 273.75 179.46...
