Answer:

23.11 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cash conversion cycle is shown below:

The cash cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding

where,

Day inventory outstanding = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ cost of goods sold × number of days in a year

= ($3,500 ÷ $30,000) × 365 days

= 42.58 days

Day sale outstanding = (Beginning Accounts receivable + ending Accounts receivable) ÷ Annual sales × number of days in a year

= ($1,800 ÷ $45,000) × 365 days

= 14.6 days

Day payable outstanding = (Beginning Accounts payable + ending Accounts payable) ÷ cost of goods sold × number of days in a year

= ($2,800 ÷ $30,000) × 365 days

= 34.07 days

Now put these days to the above formula

So, the days would equal to

= 42.58 days + 14.6 days - 34.07 days

= 23.11 days
