Computing Operating Cycle Operating cycle refers to the time required to convert raw material into cash
OC i i i d d b ll i OC = inventory conversion period + debtor collection period
Cash cycle refers to the length of time period between Cash cycle refers to the length of time period between payment of cash for raw material & collection of cash from debtors CC = OC – Deferred payment period
Conversion period = (average level/usage per i d) Tiperiod)xTime

IllustrationA Co. currently has annual sales of Rs. 5 lakhs & average collectionperiod of 30 days. It is considering a more liberal credit policy. Ifth dit i d i t d d th t l dthe credit period is extended, the company expects sales andbad‐debt losses to increase in the following manner:
Credit Increase in credit Increase in Bad‐debt (% ofPolicy period sales sales)
A 10 days Rs. 25,000 1.2B 15 days Rs. 35,000 1.55 y 35, 5C 30 days Rs. 40,000 1.8D 42 days Rs. 50,000 2.2
The selling price is Rs. 2/‐. At the current level of operation,average cost is Rs. 1.50/‐ and average variable cost is Rs. 1.20/‐. Ifcurrent bad‐debt loss is 1% of sales and required rate of return isq20%, which credit policy should be undertaken? (1yr. = 360 days)
