Explanation / Answer

accounts receivables turnover = net credit sales/(opening accounts receivables+closing accounts receivables)/2

Tootsie Roll = net product sales for 2011/(accounts receivable of 2010+accounts receivable of 2011)/2 = 528369/(41895+37394)/2 = 528369/39644.5 = 13.3 times.

For Hershey company = net credit sales/(opening accounts receivables+closing accounts receivables)/2 = 6080788/(399499+390061)/2 = 6080788/394780 = 15.4 times.

average collection period = average debtors/average daily credit sales

Tootsie roll: average debtors = debtors of 2011+debtors of 2010/2 = (41895+37394)/2 = 39644.5. average daily credit sales = sales of 2011/365 = 528369/365 = 1447.5863

average collection period = 39644.5/1447.5863 = 27.4 days

Hershey company: average debtors = debtors of 2011+debtors of 2010/2 = (399499+390061)/2 = 394780. daily credit sales = sales of 2011/365 = 6080788/365 = 16659.69315

average collection period = 394780/16659.69315 = 23.7 days
