A firm has total assets of 5,320, net sales of 8,395, average receivables of 894, current assets of 2,393 and a current ratio of 1.2. Its average receivables collection period equals ________.

  1. 41.73 days
  2. 29.92 days
  3. 23.19 days
  4. 38.87 days
  5. Receivables turnover ratio = Net annual sales/average receivables

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This is measured by two ratios in slightly different ways:
E. Receivables turnover ratio = Net annual sales/average receivables
F. Average receivables collection period = 365/receivables turnover In this case, receivables turnover = 8,395/894 = 9.39. Therefore, average receivables collection period = 365/9.39 = 38.87 days. Notice that the collection period is measured in "days."
