Explanation of Solution

Calculation of inventory conversion period:

Inventory conversion period=InventoryCostofsales365=$1,827$9,890365=67.4days

Therefore, inventory conversion period is 67.4 days.

Calculation of receivables conversion period:

Receivables conversion period=Accounts receivablesNet sales365=$1,138$13,644365=30.4days

Therefore, receivables conversion period is 30.4 days.

Calculation of length of operating cycle:

Operating cycle=Inventory conversion period+Receivables conversion period=67.4days+30.4days=97.8days

Therefore, operating cycle is 97.8 days

Calculation of payables deferral period:

Payables deferral period=Accounts payablescost of sales365=$1,166+$536$9,890+$2,264365=51.1days
