Sir for calculating payable days
Which of the below should be given the priority
Cost of sales
Or
Purchases?
Similarly for calculating inventory days
Which of the below needs to be given the first priorityCost of sales
Or
Purchases?
August 2, 2021 at 1:42 pm #630147For payables days we should use credit purchases (if we are given it).
For inventory days we should use cost of sales (because inventory is valued at the cost of production).
August 3, 2021 at 3:01 am #630197Sir what is the difference between cost of sales and cost of production
August 3, 2021 at 8:33 am #630223The cost of production is the cost of what is produced.
The cost of sales is the cost of what is sold.
A company does not always sell everything they produce – the difference is left in inventory.

August 3, 2021 at 1:08 pm #630258Revenue less cost of production is cost of sales right sir
August 3, 2021 at 6:52 pm #630298Not right. Revenue less cost of sales is the gross profit.
