DIO (Days Inventory Outstanding) is calculated using the formula given below
DIO = (Average Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold) * No of Days
A lower DIO suggests that a company is efficiently managing its inventory and converting it into sales quickly. 
DSO (Days Sales Outstanding)  is calculated using the formula given below
DSO = (Average Account Receivable / Total Credit Sales) * No of Days
A lower DSO indicates that the company collects cash from customers more quickly, improving cash flow. 
DPO (Days Payable Outstanding) is calculated using the formula given below
DPO = (Average Account Payable /Net Credit Purchases) * No of Days
If the total  Net Credit Purchase Amount is not available, Cost Of Goods Sold 
is often used as a substitute although Net Credit Purchases is preferred for accuracy
 A higher DPO can be beneficial as it allows the company to retain cash longer before settling its obligations. 
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is calculated using the formula given below
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC)  = DIO + DSO - DPO
A shorter cash conversion cycle indicates that a company can quickly convert 
its investments back into cash, which is generally seen as a sign of good financial health and operational efficiency.
Conversely, a longer cash conversion cycle may suggest inefficiencies in inventory management
or collections processes, potentially leading to liquidity issues.
