And account payble balance = $8043

Credit turnover ratio will be equal to

Credit turnover
`=(cost\ of\ goods\ sold)/(average\ account\ payble)=(44021)/(8043)=5.473times`

We know that 1 year = 365 days

So number of days will be equal to
`=(365)/(5.473)=66.69days`

So it will take 66.69 days to pay off its supplier
