How do you evaluate the consequences of inventory costs on working capital needs and the cash conversion period?


Rate This Answer

The cycle measures the average number of days that working capital is invested in the operating cycle. It starts by adding days inventory outstanding to days sales outstanding. This is because a company "invests" its cash to acquire/build inventory, but does not collect cash until the inventory is sold and the accounts receivable are finally collected. DIO + DSO – DPO
