Explanation / Answer

1. Inventory turnover FY13 = cost of goods sold/average inventory

= 352,297 / ((43,803,000+40,714,000)/2)

= 8.34%

2. Accounts receivable turnover FY13 = Net credit sales / average accounts receivable

= 468,651 / ((6,677+6,778)/2)

= 69.66%

3. Accounts payable turnover FY13 = cost of goods sold / average accounts payable

=352,297 / ((59,099+55,952)/2)

=6.12%

4. Production cycle

= 365 * inventory turnover ratio = 365 * 8.34% = 30.44 days

5. Collection cycle = 365 *accounts receivable turnover = 365 * 69.66% = 254 days

6. Accounts payable cycle = 365 * accounts payable turnover = 365 * 6.12% = 22.33 days
