Ruth Company currently has $1,000,000 in accounts receivable. Its days sales outstanding (DSO) is 50days. The company wants to reduce its DSO to the industry average of 32 days by pressuring more ofits customers to pay their bills on time. The company’s CFO estimates that if this policy is adopted thecompany’s average sales will fall by 10 percent. Assuming that the company adopts this change andsucceeds in reducing its DSO to 32 days and does lose 10 percent of its sales, what will be the level ofaccounts receivable following the change? Assume a 365-day year.arrow_forwardA firm is considering several policy changes to increase sales. It will increase the variety of goods it keeps in inventory, but this will increase inventory by $12,000.

These actions are expected to increase sales by $820,000 per year, and cost of goods will remain at 80% of sales. Because of the firm’s increased purchases for its own production needs, average payables will increase by $37,000. What effect will these changes have on the firm’s cash cycle?
