Answer 1

Answer to Part a.

Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
Net Working Capital = $6,832 - $3,879
Net Working Capital = $2,953

Answer to Part b.

Cash Conversion Cycle = Days Inventory Outstanding + Days Sales Outstanding - Days Payable Outstanding
Days Inventory Outstanding = Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold * 365
Days Inventory Outstanding = 1,274,000 / 12,100,000 * 365
Days Inventory Outstanding = 38.43 days

Days Sales Outstanding = Accounts Receivable / Net Credit Sales * 365
Days Sales Outstanding = 3,527,000 / 30,200,000 * 365
Days Sales Outstanding = 42.63 days

Days Payable Outstanding = Accounts Payable / Cost of Goods Sold * 365
Days Payable Outstanding = 1,659,000 / 12,100,000 * 365
Days Payable Outstanding = 50.04 days

Cash Conversion Cycle = 38.43 + 42.63 – 50.04
Cash Conversion Cycle = 31.02 days or 31 days

Answer to Part c.

Cash Conversion Cycle = Days Inventory Outstanding + Days Sales Outstanding - Days Payable Outstanding
Cash Conversion Cycle = 38.43 + 30.00 – 50.04
Cash Conversion Cycle = 18.39 or 18 days
