Aztec Products wishes to evaluate its cash conversion cycle (CCC). Research by one of the firm’s financial analysts indicates that on average the firm holds items in inventory for 65 days, pays its suppliers 35 days after purchase, and collects its receivables after 55 days. The firm’s annual sales (all on credit) are about R2.1 billion, its cost of goods sold represent about 67 percent of sales, and purchases represent about 40 percent of cost of goods sold. Assume a 365-day year.
What is Aztec Products’ cash conversion (CCC)?
If Aztec could shorten its CCC by 5 days, would it be best to reduce the inventory holding period, reduce the receivable collection period, or extend the accounts payable period? Why?
How should the firm manage its inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable in order to reduce the length of its cash conversion cycle?
Calculate the Operating Cash for this Firm:A new firm, GASFORALL, Co expects to generate Sales of $117,700. GASFORALL has variable costs of $74,800, and fixed costs of $15,300.

- Relaxing Collection Efforts The Boyd Corporation has annual credit sales of 1.6 million. Current expenses for the collection department are 35,000, bad-debt losses are 1.5%, and the days sales outstanding is 30 days. The firm is considering easing its collection efforts such that collection expenses will be reduced to 22,000 per year. The change is expected to increase bad-debt losses to 2.5% and to increase the days sales outstanding to 45 days. In addition, sales are expected to increase to 1,625,000 per year. Should the firm relax collection efforts if the opportunity cost of funds is 16%, the variable cost ratio is 75%, and taxes are 40%?arrow_forwardDetermine cash flows Natural Foods Inc. is planning to invest in new manufacturing equipment to make a new garden tool.

Merton’s sales last year were $4,250,000 (all on credit), and its net profit margin was 7%. Its inventory turnover was 7.5 times during the year, and its DSO was 41 days. Its annual cost of goods sold was $2,200,000. The firm had fixed assets totaling $585,000. Merton’s payables deferral period is 42 days. Calculate Merton’s cash conversion cycle. Assuming Merton holds negligible amounts of cash and marketable securities, calculate its total assets turnover and ROA. Suppose Merton’s managers believe the annual inventory turnover can be raised to 9.5 times without affecting sales. What would Merton’s cash conversion cycle, total assets turnover, and ROA have been if the inventory turnover had been 9.5 for the year?arrow_forward
