.You have recently been hired to improve the performance of MJ Cor., which has been experiencing a severe cash shortage. As one part of your analysis, you want to determine the firm's cash conversion cycle. Data gathered were as follows: Current inventory : P120,000 Annual sales : P600,000 Accounts receivable : P157,808 : P25,000 : P365,000 : net 30 days : net 50 days. Accounts payable Total annual purchases Purchases credit terms Receivables credit terms Using 365-day year, the estimated current cash conversion cycle (in days) is?
Baumol Model and Miller-Orr Model 1. The management of the Book Warehouse Company wishes to apply the Miller-Orr model to manage its cash investment.                                     They have determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is $100.                                     By looking at Book Warehouse’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flows is $20,000.                                    Book Warehouse’s opportunity cost of cash, per day, is estimated to be 0.03%.                                     Based on experience, management has determined that the cash balance should never fall below $10,000.                                     Calculate the lower limit, the return point, and the upper limit based on the Miller-Orr model of cash management.
The calculation for assessing the value of a firm's new logistics information system is below. Which of the answers will result in the highest cash flow increase to the company, making it worth the investment. Cash Flow Increase = Invoice Value x (Cost of Capital/365) x Difference in Days in the Order-to-Cash Cycle Group of answer choices If the investment causes a dramatic increasing in the order to cash cycle days If the investment causes a dramatic decreasing the order to cash cycle days If the firm borrows money to make the investment (debt financing) at a very low cost If the investment allows sales to remain stable
