Question

Heritage, Inc., had a cost of goods sold of $44,721. At the end of the year, the accounts payable balance was $8,253. How long on average did it take the company to pay off its suppliers during the year

Answer 1

Account payable days = 67.36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The payable days is the average length of time it takes a business to settle its account payable. It is calculated as thus;

Account payable days = Average account payable / Cost of goods sold × 365

Account payable = $8,253/44,721 × 365

Account payable = 67.36

Therefore, it will take Heritage about 67.36 days to settle its account payable
