Answer #1

Solution:

1a)

Inventory days=ending inventory/ cost of goods sold *365

Since stmt source date and period end date is the same inventory on that day will be ending inventory. All figures have been rounded to the nearest decimal point

Costco

2015: 32 days

2016: 32 days

2017: 32 days

Walmart

2016: 45 days

2017:44 days

2018:43 days

2019: 42 days

1b

Accounts receivables days= Accounts receivable/ Revenue *365

Costco

2015: 3.845 days

2016: 3.85 days

2017:4.05 days

Walmart

2016:4.26 days

2017:4. 38 days

2018: 4.09 days

2019: 4.46 days

1c)

Cash conversion cycle= Days of sale outstanding+ days of inventory outstanding-days of payables outstanding

Days of sale outstanding= accounts receivable days

Days of inventory outstanding= Inventory days

Days of payable outstanding=accounts payable/ COGS *365

Costco

2015:3.3 days

2016:8.85 days

2017:4.7 days

Walmart

2016: 9.818 days

2017: 5.587 days

2018: 1.404 days

2019: 1.474 days

2)

Walmart's CCC has consistently improved over the past few years. Lower the CCC the better it is.
