Instructions

Compute the following:

         Accounts receivable turnover and days sales in receivables.

(Check Figures: Accounts Receivable Turnover = 6.25 times, days sales in receivables = 58.4 days)

Explanation / Answer

Account receivable turnover = Credit sales/average receivable

                                                   = 5000000/800000

                                                      = 6.25

days sales in receivables = A/R/credit sales * 365

                                                 = (800000/5000000)* 365

                                                      = 58.4 Days
