Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Part A:

Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities = 7250 - 3720 = $3530

----

Part B:

Cash Conversion Cycle = DIO + DSO - DPO = Accounts Receivables/Average Daily Sales + Inventory/Average Daily Cost of Goods Sold - Accounts Payable/Average Daily Cost of Goods Sold = 3950/(32000/365) + 1300/(20000/365) - 1500/(20000/365) = 41.40 Days or 42 Days

----

Part C:

Cash Conversion Cycle = 30 + 1300/(20000/365) - 1500/(20000/365) = 26.35 days or 27 days.

Thanks.
