La Reina de Oriente, S.A., a company that sells sausages, knows that it pays its suppliers 10 times a year. To determine the average collection period it is known that the annual sales of the company were $5'183,220.00, of which 70% are on credit and the average balance of customers is $382,982.37, that is to say it is necessary to calculate the turnover of accounts receivable; and the average age of inventory is based on the inventory turnover, whose data to calculate it as the previous one are: Average inventory 153,192.95 and its annual cost of sales amounts to $1'002,716.78. The company spends about $12.5 million in operating cycle investments.  It plans to make modifications to its policies so that it can reduce its PPC by 5 days, and its EPI by one (before converting it to days). Negotiations with your supplier to extend payment terms have not been successful. With these data you have to calculate: 5) The operating cycle. 6) The cash conversion cycle. 7) Cash turnover.

CC2) La Reina de Oriente, S.A., a company that sells sausages, knows that it pays its suppliers 10 times a year. To determine the average collection period it is known that the annual sales of the company were $5'183,220.00, of which 70% are on credit and the average balance of customers is $382,982.37, that is to say it is necessary to calculate the turnover of accounts receivable; and the average age of inventory is based on the inventory turnover, whose data to calculate it as the previous one are: Average inventory 153,192.95 and its annual cost of sales amounts to $1'002,716.78. The company spends about $12.5 million in operating cycle investments. 
It plans to make modifications to its policies so that it can reduce its PPC by 5 days, and its EPI by one (before converting it to days). Negotiations with your supplier to extend payment terms have not been successful. With these data you have to calculate:

5) The operating cycle.
6) The cash conversion cycle.
7) Cash turnover.
8) The minimum cash balance.
9) Re-calculate the Operating Cycle, the CCE, RC and SMC by introducing the proposed changes.
10) Calculate the opportunity cost that the changes will cause, if the company's interest rate is 8%.

anuales de la empresa fueron de $5'183,220.00, de las cuales el 70%
son a crédito y el saldo promedio de clientes es de $382,982.37, es
decir hay que calcular la rotación de cuentas por cobrar; y la edad

Planea hacer modificaciones a sus políticas de modo que logre
disminuir en 5 días su PPC, y en una vez (antes de convertirlo a días)
su EPI. Con su proveedor no han tenido éxito las negociaciones para
