What is Leyton's DSO, what would it be if all customers paid on time, and how much capital would be released if Leyton could take action that led to on-time payments? COST OF TRADE CREDIT AND BANK LOAN Lancaster Lumber buys $8 million of materials (net of discounts) on terms of 3/5, net 55, and it currently pays on the 5th day and takes discounts. Lancaster plans to expand, which will require additional financing. If Lancaster decides to forgo discounts, how much additional credit could it obtain, and what would be the nominal and effective cost of that credit? If the company could get the funds from a bank at a rate of 9%, interest paid monthly, based on a 365-day year, what would be the effective cost of the bank loan? Should Lancaster use bank debt or additional trade credit? Explain. CASH CONVERSION CYCLE Zane Corporation has an inventory conversion period of 64 days, an average collection period of 28 days, and a payables deferral period of 41 days. a. What is the length of the cash conversion cycle? b. If Zane's annual sales are $2,578,235 and all sales are on credit, what is the investment in accounts receivable? c. How many times per year does Zane turn over its inventory? Assume that the cost of goods sold is 75% of sales. Use sales in the numerator to calculate the turnover ratio. RECEIVABLES INVESTMENT McEwan Industries sells on terms of 3/10, net 30. Total sales for the year are $1,921,000; 40% of the customers pay on the 10th day and take discounts, while the other 60% pay, on average, 70 days after their purchases. a. What is the days sales outstanding? b. What is the average amount of receivables? c. What is the percentage cost of trade credit to customers who take the discount? d. What is the percentage cost of trade credit to customers who do not take the discount and pay in 70 days? e. What would happen to McEwan's accounts receivable if it toughened up on its collec- tion policy with the result that all nondiscount customers paid on the 30th day? WORKING CAPITAL INVESTMENT Pasha Corporation produces motorcycle batteries. Pasha turns out 1,400 batteries a day at a cost of $7 per battery for materials and labor. It takes the firm 22 days to convert raw materials into a battery. Pasha allows its customers 40 days in which to pay for the batteries, and the firm generally pays its suppliers in 30 days. a. What is the length of Pasha's cash conversion cycle? b. At a steady state in which Pasha produces 1,400 batteries a day, what amount of work- ing capital must it finance? c. By what amount could Pasha reduce its working capital financing needs if it was able to stretch its payables deferral period to 33 days? d. Pasha's management is trying to analyze the effect of a proposed new production process on its working capital investment. The new production process would allow Pasha to decrease its inventory conversion period to 17 days and to increase its daily production to 2,400 batteries. However, the new process would cause the cost of mate- rials and labor to increase to $12. Assuming the change does not affect the average collection period (40 days) or the payables deferral period (30 days), what will be the length of its cash conversion cycle and its working capital financing requirement if the new production process is implemented? CASH CONVERSION CYCLE Chastain Corporation is trying to determine the effect of its inventory turnover ratio and days sales outstanding (DSO) on its cash conversion cycle. Chastain's 2018 sales (all on credit) were $121,000, its cost of goods sold is 80% of sales, and it earned a net profit of 2%, or $2,420. It turned over its inventory 7 times during the year, and its DSO was 37 days. The firm had fixed assets totaling $42,000. Chastain's payables deferral period is 35 days. a. Calculate Chastain's cash conversion cycle. b. Assuming Chastain holds negligible amounts of cash and marketable securities, calcu- late its total assets turnover and ROA.
