Expert Solution

Days' sales = Ending accounts receivable / Average daily sales

That formula will not work in this case because the necessary information is not provided. However, enough information about payments is provided so that the total days' sales can be determined on a weighted average basis. In this question, nobody pays before the 10th day and 60% of the customers pay on the 10th day, so there are 10 × 0.60, or 6 day's sales there. The other 40% of the customers pay on the 30th day so there are 30 × 0.40, or 12 day's sales there. The total is 18 days sales.

The total is 18 days sales.
