Efficiency
Efficiency is another potential factor that may affect ACP. Commonly ,a company is said to be more efficient if it can generate relatively more sales(turnover or revenue) by using relatively less assets .Generally ,we would expect a more efficient company to have less assets(relative to sales),including receivables.This means that a more efficient company would be expected to collect its trade credit faster,and thus,have shoter ACP.
Efficiency is generally,measured as the ratio of total annual sales to total assets,and can be interpreted as the amount of sales in a year that can be generated using one ringgit of assets . However ,in this study,a modified measure of efficiency is used . Again,as the accounts receivable amount is already used to derive ACP,it is deducted from the total assets to compute efficiency.Note,however,that although the total annual sales amount has also been used to derive ACP,it is not modified or adjusted in computing efficiency . This is because it is simply not possible to come up with an alternative measure of efficiency without using sales.The formula used for deriving efficiency in this study is given below.
