( 150 / 5600 ) * 365 = 9.78 Days
 Accounts Payable Payment Period = ( Average Creditors / Net Purchases ) * 365 =
( 5150 / 5150 ) * 365 = 365 Days

compared to the rival ratios (Bellucci, Bianchi, and Manetti, 2021). The institution is having high
magnitude of actual assets as compared to the actual liabilities which is displaying that the
establishment is having a strong fiscal point as compared to the challenger's average. Therefore,
in command to stay in the contest, Anne’s Enterprise is extremely confident.
The eruption of the planetary epidemic have somehow stricken the operations of the
enterprise substantially because of which the gain margins reduced. This at last disclosed a
ruination in the earnings of the business concern. It has been extremely suggested to the various
enterprise to take care of treatment the enterprise in the post corona stage. Some new and
contrary changes demand to be adopted by the business organisation so that it can come
backmost on track with high plane of profits (Andreeva, 2021). Once the ascertain in the
marketplace place are normalized, it will mechanically extemporise the working of the enterprise
operation in the most impressive fashion which will finally lead the enterprise towards the way
of attainment (Matringe, 2020).
