Working capital mini Q's

Firstly note the difference between a marginand a mark-up

Mark-up= 100% + 25% = 125%   Profit = (25 / 125)   Cost = 100 / 125

Margin = 75% + 25% = 100%   Profit = (25 / 100) Cost = 75 / 100

1                                                                                  Effect on WC

Increase in trade receivables                                       £30,000

Increase in trade payables                                           (£20,000)

Inventories -increase due to purchases                       £20,000

Inventories -Decrease because of sales (i.e.COS)

{30,000 x 100 / 125}                                                  (£24,000)

Net effect on WC -increase                                        £ 6,000

2 Cash cycle = inventory days + trade receivable days -trade payable days

Inventory days = (Average inventory/Cost of sales) x365

Cost of sales = £18 million x 0.8 = £14.4 million

Inventory days                        = £2 / £14.4 x 365      = 51 days

Trade receivable days             = Trade receivable / sales x 365

= £5 / £18 x 365                      = 101 days

Trade payable days                 = Trade payable / COS x 365

= £2.5m / £14.4 x 365             = (63) days

Cash cycle                               = 89 days

89 days is the average time from the payment of a supplier to the receipt from a customer.
