问题如下:
Which of the following actions or events will most likely decrease an issuer’s cash conversion cycle?
选项:
A.Buying short-term marketable securities using cash on hand
Offering customers a discount for payment received within 10 days
Slowing of sales of certain goods due to changing preferences in styles
解释:
B is correct. A prompt-payment discount would likely reduce days sales outstanding and, in turn, decrease the issuer’s cash conversion cycle.
A is incorrect, because increasing marketable securities by reducing cash does not affect the issuer’s cash conversion cycle.
C is incorrect, because the slowing of sales of certain goods would likely increase days of inventory on hand and, in turn, increase the issuer’s cash conversion cycle.
请问A选择应该如何去理解呢?
