Huckabee's 2021 receivables turnover (rounded to 2 decimal places) is 4.90 times

Explanation:

The accounts receivable turnover is an efficiency ratio that measures how many times a company can collect its receivables or money owed by clients during the year.

Accounts receivable turnover is calculated by following formula:

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

In there:

Average Accounts Receivable = (The beginning accounts receivable of the period balance + The ending accounts receivable of the period balance) / 2

In Huckabee Company, Average Accounts Receivable = ($87,000 + $79,000) / 2 = $83,000

Huckabee's 2021 Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net sales in 2021/Average Accounts Receivable = $407,000/$83,000 = 4.90 times
