Expert Solution

The number of times a firm may sell its merchandise and collect payment from creditors is determined by its account receivable turnover ratio. The credit sales to average account receivable ratio is derived by dividing credit sales by the average account receivable.

Calculation of Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = Sales/ Average account receivable

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = $1,272,390/ 60,590

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 21 Times

 

Calculation of Day's Sales in Accounts Receivable 

Days' Sales in Accounts Receivable = 365/ Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio

Days' Sales in Accounts Receivable = 365/ 21

Days' Sales in Accounts Receivable = 17.38

 

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = 21 Times

Days' Sales in Accounts Receivable = 17.38
