Solution

a. net working capital = total current assets - total current liabilties

= 7079 - 3929

= $3150

b. Cash conversion cycle = [inventory / cost of goods sold *365] + [accounts receivable/sales * 365] - [accounts payable / cost of goods sold *365]

= [1525 / 12200 * 365 ] + [3478 / 30600 * 365] - [1709 / 12200 * 365]

= 45.63 days + 41.49 days - 51.13 days

= 35.99 days

c   Cash conversion cycle = 45.63 days + 30 days - 51.13 days

= 24.5 days
