Question on TGA Co, part (a)
There is a decrease in operating cash cycle of 73 days.
A decrease in cash cycle means the Working capital used will decrease too right ?
Therefore, this will result in higher profitability but result in a weaker liquidity because there is a higher risk of running out of inventory or cash right ?
But why in the answer key it states that this change will improve the firm’s liquidity and profits ?
The operating cycle will reduce if we collect money from receivables faster, if we take longer to pay our payables, or if we reduce our inventory.
In all cases, we end up with more cash and therefore the liquidity is improved.
