(i)  The Company acquires a credit for 60 days from its suppliers.

(ii)  All goods were sold for credit.

Solution:

Computation of Operating Cycle

(i)                 Material Storage Period:

=   Average Stock of Raw Materials/Daily Average Consumption

= ((Rs.80,000 + 1,20,000) / 2)/(Rs.3,60,000 / 365)

= Rs.1,00,000/ Rs.986.3

= 101.38 days

Material Consumed = Opening Stock + Purchases - Closing Stock

= Rs. 80,000 + 4,00,000-1,20,000

= Rs. 3,60,000

(ii) Conversion or Processing Period

= Average Stock of Work - in - progress/Daily Average Factory Cost

=  ((Rs.20,000 + 60,000) / 2)/( Rs.5,20,000 / 365)

=  (Rs.40,000) / (Rs.1,424.65)

= 28.07days

Factory Cost:                                                    Rs.

Opening Work-Progress                                20,000

Material Consumed (as above)                    3,60,000

Wages and Mfg. Expenses                            2,00,000

          5,80,000

Less: Closing Work-in-Progress                   60,000

5,20,000

(iii) Finished Goods Storage Period

= Average Stock of Finished Good/Daily Average Cost of Goods Sold

=   ((Rs.60,000 +20,000) / 2)/(Rs.5,60,000 / 365)

=  (Rs.40,000)/ Rs.1,534.25

= 26.07days

Cost of Goods sold                                                          Rs.

Opening Stock of Finished Goods

60,000

Factory Cost (as above)

5,20,200

 

5,80,000

Less: Closing Stock of Finished Goods

20,000

 

5,60,000

(iii)    Debtors Collection period

=   Average Debtors/Daily Average Sales

=   ((Rs.40,000 + 40,000) / 2)/(Rs.10,00,000 / 365)

=   (Rs.40,000) / Rs. 2,739.7

 = 14.6 days
