A high average collection period indicates that a firm is having trouble collecting its outstanding credit, thereby transferring it to their accounts receivables. It could be because of policy - maybe no fees, or the management in charge of collection is not doing their job.
Inventory is a balance sheet item. Costs added to inventory stay in inventory until the items are sold. There are many different ways to allocate these costs, at the discretion of the company. When items are sold, an allocation representing these items is moved from inventory to cost of sales (a.k.a. costs of goods sold) which becomes a cost for the period, match against an allocation of revenues for the period, which gives a figure for gross profit. Watch for trends in inventory from period to period, allowing for seasonality, and the gross margin (gross profit as a percent of revenues). The biggest thing to watch for is an unwarranted increase in inventory, which could indicate obsolescence, poor planning, or high returns. If inventories are too high, they are likely eventually to be written off.

Also called the Inventory Turnover Ratio, this is a measure of the number of times inventory is sold or used in a time period corresponding to the average inventory held by the company. This ratio can help us determine how efficiently the company is using its inventory (raw materials) to generate revenue and income. i.e., how quickly is the company able to transform the inventory into finished goods that can be sold and generate an income.A high turnover rate means that the company is utilizing its available inventory effectively but a very high value may cause risks of inadequate inventory levels. Whereas, a low turnover rate means that the company is overstocking or there are deficiencies in the production strategies.Formula:STR or ITR = Total cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
