Explanation / Answer

(a)    Cash Conversion Cycle = [Operating Cycle– Account’s Payable Period]

         Operating Cycle= [Inventory Period + Account’s Receivable Period]

         Operating Cycle= 75 days + 38 days

        Operating Cycle = 113 days

         Cash ConversionCycle = [113 days – 30 days]

         CashConversion Cycle = 83 days

(b)    Annual Sales = $3,421,875

         Investment inAccounts Receivables = [$3,421,875 / 38 days]

         Investment inAccounts Receivables = $90,049.34

(c)    Inventory Period = [365 days / InventoryTurnover]

         75 days =[365 days / Inventory Turnover]

         InventoryTurnover = [365 days / 75 days]

         InventoryTurnover = 4.87times
