For 2019, perform an analysis of productivity based on the following working capital components: AR, Inventory, and AP. Calculate their turnover, and the corresponding DSO, DIO, and DPO (we covered this in the first part of this project). Calculate the cash conversion cycle. Provide all the calculations.

Provide all the calculations.

DSO = 365 / Net Sales * Average Accounts Receivable = 31.8 days

DIO = 365 / (Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventories) = 141.6 days

DPO = 365 / (Cost of Goods Sold / Average accounts Payable) 100.8 days

CCC = DSO + DIO - DPO = 72.6 days

Based on the calculations in the previous question, provide your comments regarding SBD’s productivity. How good is SBD managing this productivity component of ROE? Is SBD’s CCC appropriate with respect to its competitors? (it is fine if you only compare with Snap-On)? What about its industry?
