Number of days of inventory = $2,300/($20,000/365) = 41.975 days Number of days of receivables = $2,500/($25,000/365) = 36.5 days Operating cycle = 41.975 + 36.5 days = 78.475 days Note: The net operating cycle is 47.9 days. Purchases = $20,000 + $2,300 - $2,000 = $20,300 Number of days of payables = $1,700/($20,300/365) = 30.567 days The net operating cycle is 78.475 - 30.567 = 47.908 days
