Natalya Hunt · Answer 1

(1) $750,000

(2) 12.56 times

(3) 29.06 days

Explanation:

1. Average accounts receivable:

= (Beginning Accounts receivable + Ending Accounts receivable) : 2

= (725,000 + 775,000) : 2

= $750,000

2. Accounts receivable turnover ratio:

= Net sales : Average account receivable

= $9,420,000 : $750,000

= 12.56 times

3. Accounts receivable turnover in days:

= 365 : accounts receivable turnover ratio

= 365 : 12.56

= 29.06 days
