The Robinson Company has the following current assets and current liabilities for these two years.
Years 2010/2011
Cash and marketable securities $50,000/ $50,000
Accounts receivable 300,000 /350,000

If sales in 2010 were $1.2 million, sales in 2011 were $1.3 million, and cost of goods sold was at 70 percent of sales, how long were Robinson

Explanation / Answer

cash conversion cycle
= ((avg inventory/COGS) + (avg receivable/sales) - (avg payables/purchases))*365

Operating cycle
= ((avg inventory/COGS) + (avg receivable/sales))*365

CCC 2010 = ((350000/(1200000*70%)) + (300000/1200000) - (200000/(1200000*70%)))*365
= 156.4286 days

CCC 2011 = ((500000/(1300000*70%)) + (350000/1300000) - (250000/(1200000*70%)))*365
= 190.1877 days

Operating cycle 2010 = ((350000/(1200000*70%)) + (300000/1200000))*365
= 243.3333 days

Operating cycle 2011 = ((500000/(1300000*70%)) + (350000/1300000))*365
= 298.8187 days

decrease in inventory efficiency caused them to increase.
