Inventory Turnover
Measures the time from cash outlay to cash collection in days. The CCC can be shortened in
increasing inv. turnover, collecting Rec'bles more quickly or deferring remitances on payables for a
longer period o time. Can be calculated by simply adding the results of 365/INV TO ; 365/A/R TO
and 365/ A/P TO. Use to evaluate co. liquidity - the ability of the co meet its obligation as they
become due.
