Cruiseʹs stock was selling for $7 a share at the end of 2020, and
there were 95 thousand shares outstanding. Cruise paid dividends of
$0.05 a share in
2020 .
Approximately how many days are Cruiseʹs customers taking to pay
their bills? Assume a 365-day year.
23 days
16 days
25
days
20 days
Solution:-
Computation of No. of days Cruise's customers taking to pay their bills;
Number of days = (Accounts receivable / Sales) * 365 days
Given,
Accounts receivable = $35,000
Sales = $800,000
Number of days = ($35,000 / $800,000) * 365
= 0.04375 * 365
= 15.96875 or 16 approx
Therefore the number of days required for cruise's customers to pay the bill are 16 days which is option 2
