You have recently been hired to improve the performance of Multiplex Corporation which has been experiencing a severe cash shortage. As one part of your analysis, you want to determine the firm's cash conversion cycle. Using the following information and a 360-day year, what is your estimate of the firm's current cash conversion cycle?
