Why over-trading may result in a relatively high accounts payable turnover period?
June 5, 2020 at 9:47 am #572886In future if you want me to answer then you must ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum – this forum is for students to help each other 🙂
Because over-trading is likely to lead to a shortage of cash and therefore forces a delay on paying liabilities.
Have you watched my free lectures on this.
June 5, 2020 at 10:34 am #572895Thanks Sir. I got it.
I have watched the video. My thought just stick to the formula.
payable turnover period = (payable/ cost of sale) * 365
I was just thinking if company over-trading, revenue increased then COS of course also increased and payable increased as well so finally dont know weather payable turnover period is increased?June 5, 2020 at 10:52 am #572898Yes, but the question is not saying that it will definitely increase. It says that it may increase (and it is likely to increase).
