Explanation / Answer

a. It seems that RR has a moderate current asset usage policy compared to industry standards.

b. RR's Current asset ratios are only a little below industry standards. This means that they seem to be following an appropriate moderate policy. A moderate policy places itself between a restricted in which there are lower levels and relaxed in which there are higher levels of current assets. RR's current asset levels neither appear too high or too low. There is cash surplus in the end which means that RR is earning fairly good amount of revenue though not quite matching industry standards.

c. CCC = DSO + DIO - DPO

ITO = 10.8

Or, 10.8 = Sales/Avg. inventory = 660,000 / Avg. inventory

Or, AI = $61,111

DIO = I/COGS x 365 =( 61,111 / 0.9 x 660,000) x 365 = 37.55 days

DPO = 30 days

CCC = 45.63 + 37.55 + 30 = 113.18 days

d. The industry's ITO is twice as large as the RR's. This means that RR is holding up too much inventory. A higher ITO means higher number of inventory sold. RR is spending too much on inventory it can't sold. So either the speding on stock needs to be reduced or the inventory needs to be cleared. There is no point storing inventory if you can't sell it. It becomes worthless and increases storage costs.
