ABC Co. has an average collection period of 40 days for its accounts receivable. If total credit sales for the year were $5,200,000, what is the balance in accounts receivable at year-end? Assume a 360-day calendar year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Ans $ 577,778
Average accounts receivable = Average collection period * Net Sales / 360 days
= 40 * 5200000 / 360
= $ 577,778
