Granger Corporation had $187,000 in sales on account last year. The beginning accounts receivable balance was $19,000 and the ending accounts receivable balance was $29,000. The corporation's average collection period was closest to: (Assume 365 days a year. Round your intermediate answers to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Average AR=(Beginning AR+Ending AR)/2

=(19000+29000)/2=$24000

Hence average collection period=(Average AR/Sales)*365 days

=(24000/187000)*365 days

which is equal to

=46.9 days(Approx)(A).
