- Question 63 Modified True or False T means Correct and F means Wrong I. The longer its customers normally hold inventory, the longer the credit period supplier firms normally offer. Still, suppliers have some flexibility in the credit terms they offer. If a supplier lengthens the credit period offered, this will shorten the customer's cash conversion cycle but lengthen the supplier firm's own CCC. II. The cash conversion cycle (CCC) combines three factors: The inventory conversion period, the receivables collection period, and the payables deferral period, and its purpose is to show how long a firm must finance its working capital. Other things held constant, the shorter the CCC, the more effective the firm's working capital management. III. The target cash balance is typically (and logically) set so that it does not need to be adjusted for either seasonal patterns or unanticipated random fluctuations. IV.
