Corporate Valuation and Planning, Conversion cycle and budget
1) Improving the cash conversion cycle
Choose a company from the Dow Jones 30 (https://money.cnn.com/data/dow30/). Use the most recent balance sheet and income statement from Hoover’s database to calculate the Operating Cycle and Cash (Conversion) Cycle. Would your company improve its Cash Conversion Cycle by reducing or increasing it? Explain your answer? List at least two ways your company could achieve this improvement. Explain the possible risks your company may face if it follows your suggestion?

In Baltimore Baking’s experience, 4% of its credit sales will never be collected, 46% of its credit sales are paid in the month of the sale, and another 50% of its credit sales are paid in the month after the sale. Credit purchases will be paid in the month following the purchase.
In March 2017, credit sales were $230,000 and credit purchases were $38,500. Using this information, complete a cash budget (Round answers to the nearest whole dollar):
Note: The beginning cash balance for April should be $625,000.
