Solution
- Accounting records are viewed by different interested parties, and creditors are one of them. Creditors are those persons who supply goods, on credit to the organisation. Their payment are usually made after two or three months.
- They want to know the time lag to convert raw material (purchase) into finished goods (sales) and, whether the business makes cash or credit sales. In short, their interest is in knowing whether they will get the payment on the due date.
