Jacob Atnip &Company has a net income of $196,500, a profit margin of 6.8 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $119,630. Assuming 65% of sales are on credit, what is the company's days' sales outstanding (DSO) for receivables?
Total Sales = Net Profit/Profit Margin = 196500/6.8% = $2889705.88
Credit Sales = Total Sales*65% = 2889705.88*65% = $1878308.82
Days' Sales Outstanding = (Accounts Receivable/Credit Sales)*Days in Year = (119630/1878308.82)*365 = 23.25 days
