B. What is the Inventory Period (to 1 decimal)?

C.What is the Accounts Receivable Period (to 1 decimal)?

D. What is the Operating Cycle (to 1 decimal)?

Answer 1

Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio=Cost of Goods Sold/Average Accounts Payable

Average Accounts Payable=(341+247)/2=$294

Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio=$1242/294=4.2 times

What is the Inventory Period=Accounts Payable Turnover Ratio/365 Days=365/4.25=85.9 days

What is the Accounts Receivable Period (to 1 decimal)?

=365/Account receivable turnover

Account receivable turnover =sales/average receivable

=1553/((362+301)/2)=4.7 times

Accounts Receivable Period =365/4.7=77.7

D. What is the Operating Cycle (to 1 decimal)?

Operating Cycle = Inventory Holding Period + Receivables Collection Period

=85.9+77.7=163.6 days
