Sales (on credit terms) | A/R Balance | Current | 31-60 | 61-90 | 90+ | |
Jan | 3390 | 6,200 | 3,345 | 1795 | 1000 | 60 |
Feb | 3,610 | 6,000 | 3,560 | 1,550 | 825 | 65 |
Mar | 3890 | 6,340 | 3,590 | 1800 | 900 | 50 |
Total | 10,890 |
using the sample ATB above, compute the collection effectiveness index of the company (10Items must show solutions). Then provide analysis of the effect of the result when it will decrease and when it will increase?
Collection Effectiveness Index:(CEI) | |||||||||
(Beginning Receivable+Credit Sales-Ending TOTAL Receivable)/(Beginning Receivable+Credit Sales-Ending CURRENT Receivable) | |||||||||
Beginning Receivable (Jan AR Balance) | $6,200 | ||||||||
Credit Sales | $10,890 | ||||||||
Ending TOTAL Receivable | $6,340 | ||||||||
Ending CURRENT Receivable | $3,590 | ||||||||
(Beginning Receivable+Credit Sales-Ending TOTAL Receivable) | $10,750 | (6200+10890-6340) | |||||||
(Beginning Receivable+Credit Sales-Ending CURRENT Receivable) | $13,500 | (6200+10890-3590) | |||||||
Collection Effectiveness Index: | 0.7963 | (10750/13500 | |||||||
Collection Effectiveness Index: | 79.63% | ||||||||
If CEI increases, collection is better | |||||||||
Best CEI (ideal) is 100% | |||||||||
This means Ending Total and Current Receivables are equal | |||||||||
If CEI decreases,the reasons need to be investigated | |||||||||
