A) 4.06 days
B) 4.87 days
C) 6.08 days
D) 24.33 days
Answer: C
Explanation: C)
1. Average accounts payable = (beginning of year AR + end of year AP)/2
= ($110,000 + $90,000)/2
= $100,000
2. Accounts Payable Turnover = COGS/Average Accounts Payable
= $6,000,000/$100,000
= 60 times.
3. Accounts Payable Cycle = 365 days/Accounts Payable Turnover
= 365 days/60
= 6.08 days.
