Help with #11.

Thank you.

ABCD Corporation has credit sales of $10,640,000 and receivables of $1,520,000. a. What is the receivables turnover? b. What is the average collection period (days sales outstanding)? c. If the company offers credit terms of 30 days, are its receivables past due? A firm with sales of $500,000 has average inveontory of $200,000. TYhe industry average for inventory turnover is four times a year. What would be the reduction in inventory if this firm were to achieve a turnover comparable to the industry average?

Explanation / Answer

inventory turnover ratio = sales/average inventory turnover

required inventory turnover = 4 times

=> sales/average inventory = 4

=> average inventory = 500000/4 = $125,000

hence the required reduction in inventory turnover

= given average inventory - calculated average inventory

= 200,000 - 125000

= $75,000 ....................ans
