**Assignment: Supply Chains and Working Capital Management**

Sombra Corp.'s CFO has decided to take a closer look at the company's credit policy. Sombra Corp. has annual sales of $396.3 million, and it currently has an accounts receivable balance of $45.9 million. The first step in analyzing the firm's credit policy is to determine its days sales outstanding (DSO). Based on this information:

- **Calculate Sombra Corp.'s DSO:** (Note: Use 365 days as the length of a year in all calculations. Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The average DSO for Sombra Corp.'s industry is 51.7 days. Assuming that its sales stayed the same, what would be Sombra Corp.'s receivables balance if it maintained the industry average DSO? (Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

Sombra Corp.'s CFO believes the company has not done a very good job of enforcing its credit policy. The CFO thinks that if the company were to better enforce its credit policy, it would reduce its DSO to 30 days; however, this will cause Sombra Corp. to lose 3% of its sales revenue. What would Sombra Corp.'s expected accounts receivables balance be if it decides to tighten its credit policy? (Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
