    Cash conversion cycle is an efficiency ratio which measures the number of days for which a company’s cash is tied up in inventories and accounts receivable. It is aimed at assessing how effectively a company is managing its working capital. Formula Cash Conversion Cycle = DSO + DIO â€" DPO Where, DSO is days sales outstanding = Average Accounts Receivable Ă - 365 Ă· Credit Sales DIO is days inventory outstanding = Average Inventories Ă - 365 Ă· Cost of Goods Sold DPO is days payables outstanding = Average Accounts Payable Ă - 365 Ă· Cost of Goods Sold DSO = (97,900*365) / 324,000=110.2 DIO = (126,300*365) / 282,000=163.5 DPO = (115,100*365) / 282,000=149 Cash Conversion Cycle = DSO + DIO â€" DPO Cash Conversion Cycle = 110.2+163.5-149=125 (Approx)
