(3) Cash flow cycle (slide p.g 8 chap3 part2)
Cash Flow Cycle refers to the process by which a company manages its
cash inflows and outflows over time. It represents the entire sequence of
events through which a business handles its money, from receiving
payments from customers to paying suppliers and other operational
expenses.
The Cash Flow Cycle consists of several key stages:
1. Inflow (Customer Payments): The company receives payments
from customers for products or services sold.
2. Outflow (Payments to Suppliers and Employees): The company
pays its suppliers for raw materials and operational expenses,
including employee salaries.
3. Inventory and Production: The business needs to maintain
inventory and convert raw materials into finished goods.
4. Sales and Receivables: After producing goods, the company sells
them to customers and receives payment for the products.
5. Management of Receivables and Payables: The company
monitors its receivables and payables to ensure that cash is flowing
smoothly without interruptions.
The Cash Flow Cycle is crucial for business success. Proper
management ensures that the business has enough liquidity to continue
operations, pay bills, and invest in growth. An efficient cash flow cycle
helps reduce reliance on external financing, lower costs, and improve
profitability.
(4) Cash conversion cycle (slide p.g 9 chap3 part2)
The measures the efficiency of cash Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC)
flow management in a business. It is the time taken to convert
investments in inventory and receivables into cash. CCC is calculated as:
CCC = Inventory Period + Delivery period + Account receivable Accounts payable
CCC = tgian sản xuất + tgian giao hàng + tgian phải thu tgian phải trả
Key Benefits (when managing CCC effectively)
1. Short-Term: Improves liquidity and reduces dependence on
external funding.
2. Long-Term: Lowers capital costs, enhances profitability, and
increases operational resilience.
Business Application:
A shorter CCC ensures faster cash flow and efficient resource
utilization, which is crucial for sustainable growth. Managing CCC
effectively allows businesses to balance liquidity, profitability, and
competitiveness.
(5) Positive CCC and Negative CCC What products should
the bank provide for?
Positive CCC
Means the business takes time to convert inventory and receivables
into cash. This situation indicates that the business is financing its
operations and production while waiting for customers to pay.
Banks would recommend short-term credit products (working
capital loans, business credit cards) to help the business maintain
liquidity and cover costs.
Negative CCC
Means the business collects cash from customers faster than it
needs to pay suppliers and other expenses. This indicates that the
business has good cash flow management and does not rely heavily
on borrowing.
Banks would recommend savings and investment products
(savings accounts, certificates of deposit, financial investments)
because the business has enough cash flow to invest and does not
require loans.
