12. WHAT IS AN
OPERATING CYCLE ?
An operating cycle refers to the time it takes a company to buy
goods, sell them and receive cash from the sale of said goods. In
other words, it’s how long it takes a company to turn its inventories
into cash.
For example, if a business has a short operating cycle, this means
it'll be receiving payment at a steady rate. The faster the company
generates cash, the more it'll be able to pay off any outstanding
debts or expand its business accordingly.

RMCP: Raw Material Conversion Period
WIPCP: Work In Process Conversion Period
FGCP: Finished Goods Conversion Period
RCP: Receivables Conversion Period
Net operating cycle period = gross operating cycle period - payable deferral period
Raw material conversion period = average stock of raw material / raw material consumption per
day
Work in process conversion period = average stock of work in progress / total cost of production
per day
Finished goods conversion period = average stock of finished goods / total cost of goods sold
per day
Receivables conversion period = average accounts receivables / net credit sales per day
Payable deferral period = average payables / net credit purchases per day

24. CONCLUSION
From all the above discussion we can conclude that Working
Capital Management is one of the tending contemporary issue
which the business enterprises and organizations are facing
now-a-days.
Short-term capital management is important to ensure that an
entity is able to conduct its daily business successfully.
In order to maintain liquidity, an entity needs to manage and limit
its investment in those current assets that are not as liquid as
cash. Having too large an investment in current assets that are
not as liquid as cash means that cash is not immediately
available when it is needed for day-to-day transactions.
