The activity ratios of Charter Communications Inc provide important insights into the efficiency of the company's operations.

1. Days of Inventory on Hand: The data shows that there is no specific information available for the days of inventory on hand. This ratio measures how quickly a company is selling its inventory and restocking it. A lower number of days indicates efficient inventory management, while a higher number may suggest slow-moving inventory or overstocking.

2. Days of Sales Outstanding (DSO): The DSO represents the average number of days it takes for a company to collect payment after making a sale. Charter Communications Inc's DSO has shown a slight increasing trend over the years, from around 16 to 20 days. A higher DSO may indicate potential issues with accounts receivable management, such as extending credit terms too far or having difficulty collecting payments promptly.

3. Number of Days of Payables: This ratio reflects the average number of days it takes for a company to pay its suppliers. Charter Communications Inc's number of days of payables has displayed fluctuations over the periods, with an increase from around 45 to 60 days and then a subsequent decrease. A longer payment period may indicate that the company is effectively managing its cash flow by delaying payments to suppliers, but it could also signify strained relationships with vendors.

In summary, while the data for Days of Inventory on Hand is not available, the trends in Days of Sales Outstanding and Number of Days of Payables for Charter Communications Inc suggest the need for further examination of inventory management, accounts receivable practices, and supplier relationships to ensure optimal operational efficiency.
