Days payable outstanding

We will now have a look at our accounts payable, or creditors and a ratio called the Days Payable Outstanding (DPO).

This ratio is an efficiency ratio that measures the average number of days a company takes to pay its suppliers.

The DPO ratio is calculated as follows:

\(Days\,Payable\,Outstanding = \frac{Ending\,Balance\,Creditors}{Total\,Cost\,of\,Goods\,Sold} \times Days\,in\,Financial\,Year\)

T-Z wants to know its days payable outstanding and has asked you to calculate it.
