Question (5) Directions: Click the "Case Link" above and use the information provided to answer this question: Determine whether there has been a slowdown in the Marsh Company's operating cycle and if so, the nature of the slowdown. Marsh's operating cycle lengthened by about 17 days. The collection period was about 7 days longer and the holding period was about 10 days longer. Marsh's operating cycle shortened by about 2.5 days because its shorter holding period more than made up for a longer collection period. Marsh's operating cycle lengthened by about 7 days, all of which was due to a lengthening of its collection period. Marsh's operating cycle lengthened by about 9.6 days, all of which was due to a lengthening of its holding period
