19. NWA TURNOVER A/R Days + Inventory Days - A/P Days = NWA Turnover Days Example 1 : 90 days + 90 days - 90 days = 90 days (NWA turn 4 times a year) $200M (profit on each NWA turn) x 4 = $800M Example 2 : 60 days + 90 days - 120 days = 30 days (NWA turn 12 times a year) $200M x 12 = $2,400M [bought on 3/1, paid A/P on 7/1, got paid on 8/1]
20. NWA TURNOVER Example 1 : $200M (profit) x 4 = $800M NWA of $2MM x 4 = $8MM in sales Example 2 : $200M (profit) x 12 = $2,400M NWA of $2MM x 12 = $24MM in sales THREE-FOLD INCREASE IN PROFITS AND SALES DUE TO TURNOVER EFFICIENCY ON THE SAME CAPITAL BASE!
21. Another Advantage of Quick Asset Turnover Assumption : The company’s overhead is $800M Example 1: No pricing flexibility! (if prices are reduced, there’ll be a loss) Example 2: Strong pricing flexibility (may go down to 5% GM, i.e. $1,200M, and still be able to cover the overhead!)
