Explanation / Answer

Net credit sales = 9,400,000 * 0.71 = $6,674,000

Receivables turnover ratio = net credit sales / average receivables

Receivables turnover ratio = 6,674,000 / 563,200

Receivables turnover ratio = 11.85

Average collection period = 365 / 11.85

Average collection period = 31 days

b)

20 = 365 / receivables turnover ratio

receivables turnover ratio = 365 / 20

receivables turnover ratio = 18.25

18.25 = 6,674,000 / average receivables

average receivables = 6,674,000 / 18.25

average receivables = $365,698.63

c)

Gross profit margin = gross profit / sales

0.31 = gross profit / 9,400,000

gross profit = 2,914,400

Cost of goods sold = sales - gross profit

Cost of goods sold = 9,400,000 - 2,914,400 = 6,485,600

Inventory turnover ratio = COGS / average inventory

9.8 = 6,485,600 / average inventory

average inventory = $661,795.92
