Answer of Part 1:
For 2016:
Average Accounts Receivable = (Beginning Accounts Receivable +
Ending Accounts Receivable) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($53,200 + $62,100) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = $57,650
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accounts
Receivable
Account Receivable Turnover = $467,518 / $57,650
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 8.11
Days Sales Uncollected = 365 days / Accounts Receivable
Turnover
Days Sales Uncollected = 365 / 8.11
Days Sales Uncollected = 45.01 or 45 days
For 2017:
Average Accounts Receivable = (Beginning Accounts Receivable +
Ending Accounts Receivable) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($62,100 + $89,000) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = $75,550
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accounts
Receivable
Account Receivable Turnover = $592,452 / $75,550
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 7.84
Days Sales Uncollected = 365 days / Accounts Receivable
Turnover
Days Sales Uncollected = 365 / 7.84
Days Sales Uncollected = 46.56 or 47 days
Answer of Part 2:
For 2016:
Average Accounts Receivable = (Beginning Accounts Receivable +
Ending Accounts Receivable) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($53,200 + $62,100) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = $57,650
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accounts
Receivable
Account Receivable Turnover = $467,518 / $57,650
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 8.11
For 2017:
Average Accounts Receivable = (Beginning Accounts Receivable +
Ending Accounts Receivable) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($62,100 + $89,000) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = $75,550
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accounts
Receivable
Account Receivable Turnover = $592,452 / $75,550
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 7.84
Answer of Part 3:
For 2016:
Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)
/2
Average Inventory = ($57,000 + $83,000) /2
Average Inventory = $70,000
Inventory Turnover = COGS / Average Inventory
Inventory Turnover = $303,887 / $70,000
Inventory turnover = 4.34 times
For 2017:
Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)
/2
Average Inventory = ($83,000 + $114,500) /2
Average Inventory = $98,750
Inventory Turnover = COGS / Average Inventory
Inventory Turnover = $361,396 / $98,750
Inventory turnover = 3.66 times
Answer of Part 4:
For 2016:
Days Sales Inventory = 365 Days / Inventory Turnover
Days Sales Inventory = 365/ 4.34
Days Sales Inventory = 84.10 or 84 days
For 2017:
Days Sales Inventory = 365 days / Inventory Turnover
Days Sales Inventory = 365 / 3.66
Days Sales Inventory = 99.73 or 100 days
