hey there folks welcome to Wallstreetmojo investment banking tutorial and today's
[13]
topic is cash conversion cycle so cash conversion cycle has everything to do
[18]
with the amount which you have spent on buying raw material till the amount
[24]
which is left in your hand after you have paid to the creditors alright so it
[31]
is a pretty simple formula you know so if you look at the particular screen
[37]
which I've got here it says that cash conversion cycle of ford with a V
[42]
Amazon is this much so Ford is running a cash conversion cycle of 261 days and
[48]
while on the other hand Amazon's cash conversion cycle is just 25 days so you
[54]
might be wondering what what's happening with these two companies alright so
[57]
let's just look down and see what what's happening here so I would just come down
[63]
to the formula here and I would just read it out and the so the cash
[69]
conversion cycle is days invest inventory outstanding plus days sales
[73]
outstanding that's the days payables payables outstanding so understand it
[77]
this way so the amount of money which you have paid to buy the raw materials
[82]
has you know you have invested that money there by raw material so that you
[88]
can so that you can produce the goods which you need to sell
[92]
so once the good is produced you have the inventory in hand so once the
[96]
inventory in hand is there you will sell it to someone on a credit right and once
[103]
that happens you know the the debtor the person whom you have sold it to will
[108]
give you money after some time and then from that money you would pay to the
[113]
creditors if you might have taken the raw material in on credit initially so
[120]
after doing that you would be left with some money and you know that is the
[126]
overall money which you are left with and the amount of time it takes you know
[133]
from when you started investing in the raw material till the time you have the
[138]
money in hand is just cash conversion cycle so let us look at the formula here
[144]
again and it says that cash conversion cycle is days inventory outstanding plus
[151]
days sales outstanding less the payables outstanding so when it talks about
[156]
inventory outstanding it just mentions that it just mentions about the
[161]
inventory days and again the same thing is with receivables days and payable
[167]
days so typically what we calculated for the balance sheet is just given here and
[172]
the edition of inventory days and receivables days and and the deduction
[178]
of payables payable days from there so how would you calculate the inventory
[182]
days inventory days is very simple the overall inventory which is there in hand
[186]
by the cost of sales or rather the cogs times the 365 365 is the number of days
[193]
in a year and the same thing would go for the days payable outstanding so days
[199]
payable outstanding and inventory you consider the cogs while for days sales
[205]
outstanding you consider the sales or the revenue alright so here in the next
[211]
section we have got the day sales outstanding so they days stay sales
[214]
outstanding is accounts receivable the amount of sales which you have made and
[220]
credit by the accounts receivable by the net credit sales all right into 365 and
[226]
then again days payable payable outstanding so accounts its payable the
[230]
amount which you have to pay to the to the creditors from whom you have taken
[235]
the raw material times 365 so this is going to be the formula for days payable
[242]
outstanding and the addition of inventory days and receivable days and
[248]
the deduction of payable days from that would give you the cash conversion cycle
[252]
so let us try and look at on an excel sheet
[260]
so days let's just say inventory days inventory days receivable days and and
[279]
payable days so CCR is going to be CCC cash conversion cycle is going to be let
[297]
me just spread it out for you so CCC is going to be inventory days plus
[318]
receivable days less payable days
[330]
yeah so this is going to be your formula so now inventory days how would you
[335]
calculate inventory days inventory days is equal to inventory by cogs times
[349]
365 so this is going to be the formula for inventory days in the same way
[361]
receivable days is going to be the overall amount of accounts receivable by
[369]
the credit sales which you made so sales or revenue let's just keep it sales
[377]
times 365 again payable days is going to be accounts payable by cogs times 365 so
[397]
this is going to be the whole equation
[408]
so the value for cogs is going to be what the value for cogs is is going to
[418]
be less gross profit so this is going to be the equation for cogs in case it is
[432]
not given but it is generally given as cost of goods sold in the financial
[440]
statements so let's just take a look at the numbers for our companies here so
[447]
let's just take a look for Amazon all right so let's go to Edgar
[457]
type the company's name Amazon and search it so Amazon I think this is the
[468]
one Amazon calm so now let us look at the 10k here so Amazon.com and if you
[483]
look at the consolidated financial statement you would see the so this is
[491]
the consolidated statements and net sales figure is given but you don't have
[495]
the value for cross profit and so we have to find it here somewhere so in the
[503]
assets you would get the value for in the assets you would get the value for
[507]
inventories so inventory values is given here right and just have to look for the
[517]
so statement of operations net sales and then cost of sales you see this so net
[524]
sales and cost of sales is given all right
[527]
and you can just calculate the values from here so cost of sales for 15 16 and
[533]
17 is given so let's pick up the value for cost of sales so cost of sales is
[539]
cogs
[545]
cogs us this much and net sales is product sales and service sales net
[554]
sales is this much and we're assuming that this the sale is credit sales right
[564]
and what else we need here we need the the value for inventory accounts payable
[579]
and accounts receivable and these three values would be available in the balance
[589]
sheet so let's go down here and find the value for inventories is this much
[598]
accounts payable accounts payable is this much so 34 billion dollars
[608]
worth of payment has to be made and accounts receivable or rather
[617]
receivables is yeah so accounts to see with a net and other so this is going to
[624]
be 13 13 billion dollars worth of payment has to be received so
[631]
in this case what is going to be the inventory days right so inventory days
[641]
is just going to be inventory by cogs times 365 so this is 52.32 days
[655]
all right this is in days I would call it days
[662]
now receivable days I'll just copy it from here let me just type it it's going
[678]
to be what receivable days is going to be accounts receivable by sales times
[686]
365 and this is again going to be in days and these are the value for 2017
[693]
guys okay so please mind that and then again payable days so payable days is
[704]
going to be accounts payable by cogs times 365 so this is again going to be
[714]
in days okay so the overall cash conversion cycle would be what the
[723]
overall cash conversion cycle would be inventory days + receivable days
[730]
- payable days so the negative figure denotes that the company is not paying
[738]
for its inventory and this is a very desirable situation to be in and you
[744]
would not find with this this kind of thing with many companies and if the if
[750]
you find this it's a very good thing it's a desirable thing so that means the
[755]
company is buying everything on credit and the creditors are letting the
[761]
company you know run without demanding money for a very long period of time and
[766]
as the company receives money from the from its customers it just pays the
[775]
creditors back so that's what's happening here and that's why a negative
[780]
ccc can be seen here all right so I'm hope you've enjoyed you know this
[786]
