Average Payment Period:
Average payment period ratio gives the average credit period enjoyed from the creditors that means it
represents the number of days by the firm to pay its creditors. A high creditor’s turnover ratio or a lower
credit period ratio signifies that the creditors are being paid promptly. This situation enhances the credit
worthiness of the company. However a very favorable ratio to this effect also shows that the business is
not taking the full advantage of credit facilities allowed by the creditors. It can be calculated using the
following formula:
Average Payment Period=Accounts payable/ Average purchase per day
