Question 1:

Cash cycle is simply the amount of time, usually expressed in days, for a company, say a manufacturer, converts its raw materials to cash. This means that the cycle encompasses the period it takes to convert raw materials to finished goods to sales, the period it takes to collect credit sales less the period it takes the company to pay off its trade payables.

Formula = Inventory conversion + Receivables conversion - Payables conversion
Inventory conversion = Average inventory/(Cost of goods sold/365 days)
