| schweitzdm | How do you do this problem when you aren't given the average accounts receivable? |
| Teeto | It is the number of days passed since the pens are received (15 May) till they ares sold and cash is collected (September 10). The question enhances understanding of the topic a lot. |
| khalifa92 | what would the net operating cycle be? |
| MathLoser | Hey guys, just in case you don't know how to count the date. Use your calculator TI BA 2 + Let's calculate the number of days of inventory: 1/ [2ND] [1] (Date) 2/ DT1 = 5 [.]1519 . It will return 05-15-2019. If you are not familiar with this format, change your date format to EUR in [2ND] [.] (Format) 3/ DT2 = 7[.]1519. It will return 07-15-2019 4/ [CPT] BDB = 61 That's our answer. If there are only 360 days, press the arrow until you see ACT. [2ND][ENTER] (Set) it to 360. |
| walterli | count days for inventory: 61 for account receivable collection: 57 Operating cycle: 61+57=118 |
