Cash conversion cycle

4.1 days

DSO

9.1 days

DIO

10.1 days

DPO

15.2 days

How the math works

DSO = ($6,000.00 / $240,000.00) × 365 ≈ 9.1 days
DIO = ($2,000.00 / $72,000.00) × 365 ≈ 10.1 days
DPO = ($3,000.00 / $72,000.00) × 365 ≈ 15.2 days

Cash conversion cycle = DSO + DIO − DPO ≈ 4.1 days

Cash is tied up for about 4.1 days between spending it on inventory and getting it back from customers, net of the delay in paying suppliers.
