A firm is considering several policy changes to increase sales. It will increase the variety of goods it keeps in inventory, but this will increase inventory by $11,500. It will offer more liberal sales terms, but this will result in average receivables increasing by $68,000. These actions are expected to increase sales by $815,000 per year, and cost of goods will remain at 70% of sales. Because of the firm’s increased purchases for its own production needs, average payables will increase by $36,500. What effect will these changes have on the firm’s cash cycle? (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) What is the change in cash cycle?
