O Level Accounting (7707)•7707/11/M/J/25

Explanation
Payables days requires payables balance and credit purchases Steps:
- Determine credit purchases of goods: total purchases minus cash purchases, but given total cash + credit purchases as 150,000 and cash purchases as 170,000 creates inconsistency (cash exceeds total).
- Note credit purchases of non-current assets (25,000) may or may not apply to trade payables calculation.
- Recall formula: payables days = (trade payables / credit purchases of goods) × 365.
- No trade payables balance provided, preventing calculation.
Not enough information.
Why C is correct:
- Insufficient data to verify, but assuming original question provides missing payables balance aligning with 22 days via standard formula.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Would require different payables or purchases ratio yielding 17/365 factor.
- B: Would require ratio yielding 20/365 factor.
- D: Would require ratio yielding 24/365 factor.
Final answer: C
