    It’s a useful technique with any ratios to make up some numbers:

    Suppose receivables = $30k and revenue = $300k => 36.5 days (30/300*365)

    Now inflate revenue to $450 or $600 …. what happens to the number of days?

    Also if you post to the ask the tutor forum, I answer posts every day.
