Strickler Technology is considering changes in its working capital policies to improve its cash flow cycle. Strickler's sales last year were $110,000 (all on credit), and it earned a net profit of 6%. Its inventory turnover was 7.58025 times during the year, and its DSO was 32 days. Its annual cost of goods sold was $121,284. The firm had fixed assets totaling $25,000. Strickler's payables deferral period is 40 days. Assume 365 days in a year for your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Calculate Strickler's cash conversion cycle. Round your answer to two decimal places.

How much should the firm plan for CAPEX assuming that our PP&E (net) and depreciation remain constant as a percentage of sales.

You have recently been hired to improve the performance of Multiplex Corporation, which has been experiencing a severe cash shortage. As one part of your analysis, you want to determine the firm’s cash conversion cycle. Using the following information and a 365-day year,(b) what is your Net Working Capital • Current inventory = $ 180,000.00 • Annual sales = $ 700,000.00 • Accounts receivable = $ 165,000.00 • Accounts payable = $ 85,000.00 • Total annual purchases = $ 567,000.00 • Purchases credit terms: net 30 days. • Receivables credit terms: net 50 days.
The Netflix Corporation's cash flow from operations before interest and taxes was $5.25 milion in the year just ended, and it expects that this will grow by 6.5% per year for six years and 5.75% per year in perpetuity. To make this happen, the firm will have to invest an amount equal to 25% of pretax cash flow each year. The tax rate is 21%. Depreciation was $275,000 in the year just ended and is expected to grow at the same rate as the opening cash flow. The apropriate market capitalization rate for the unleveraged cash flow is 13.25% per year, and the firm currently has debt of $5.75 million outstanding and 4,250,000 shares outstanding. Use the free cash flow approach to calculate the price per share.
