Berry Manufacturing turns over its inventory 8 times each year, has an Average Payment Period of 35 days and has an Average Collection Period of 60 days. The firm’s annual sales are $3.5 million.

A CARDBOARD BOX FACTORY pays its suppliers 40 days after making the purchase and receiving the goods. The average collection period is 45 days, i.e. its customers settle their debt with the company in that time; and the average inventory age is based on the inventory turnover which is 10 times a year.
