Business 1 holds inventory for a relatively short period of time and sales are
made for cash, so there is no receivables collection period, whilst it also takes
40 days credit from suppliers. Cash is therefore collected in quicker than it is
paid out. By contrast, Business 2 holds inventory for 30 days before it is sold,
when credit customers then take, on average, forty days credit. This total of
seventy days is then offset to the extent that the business takes credit from
suppliers, 35 days, leaving a net cash conversion cycle of 35 days.
