Aztec Products wishes to evaluate its cash conversion cycle (CCC). Research by one of the firm’s financial analysts indicates that on average the firm holds items in inventory for 65 days, pays its suppliers 35 days after purchase, and collects its receivables after 55 days. The firm’s annual sales (all on credit) are about R2.1 billion, its cost of goods sold represent about 67 percent of sales, and purchases represent about 40 percent of cost of goods sold. Assume a 365-day year. What is Aztec Products’ cash conversion (CCC)? If Aztec could shorten its CCC by 5 days, would it be best to reduce the inventory holding period, reduce the receivable collection period, or extend the accounts payable period? Why? How should the firm manage its inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable in order to reduce the length of its cash conversion cycle?

Suppose a firm makes purchases of $3.65 million per year under terms of 2/10, net 30, and takes discounts. What is the average amount of accounts payable net of discounts? (Assume the $3.65 million of purchases is net of discounts—that is, gross purchases are $3,724,489.80, discounts are $74,489.80, and net purchases are $3.65 million.)

If the firm did not take discounts but did pay on the due date, what would be its average payables and the nominal and effective costs of this nonfree trade credit? What would be the firm’s nominal and effective costs of not taking discounts if it could stretch its payments to 40 days?
