    Answer: 30 days

    Explanation: Cash cycle refers to the amount of time it takes for a business from paying cash to its suppliers for raw materials and receiving cash from its customers fro the sales made.

    Hence from the above we can say that : -

    decrease in inventory will decrease the cycle.

    Decrease in receivables will decrease the cycle.

    decrease in payables will increase the cycle.

    Thus,

    cash cycle = 31 days - 2 days + 4 days - 3 days

    = 30 days
