Options:

113 days

123 days

103 days

Correct Answer:

123 days

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- 123 days.

Trade Payable Turnover Ratio = Purchases / Average Trade Payables
                                           = 4,20,000/1,42,000
                                           = 2.96 times

Average Payment Period = 365/Trade Payables Turnover Ratio
                                    = 365/2.96 times
                                     = 123.31 or 123 days
