    25 Days

    Explanation:

    Average Account receivables:

    = (Accounts receivables, beginning of year + Account receivables, end of year) : 2

    = (45,000 + 35,000) : 2

    = 40,000

    Account Receivables Turnover = Net Sales on Account : Average Account Receivables

    Account Receivables Turnover = 584,000 : 40,000

    = 14.6 times

    No. of Days Sales in Accounts Receivables:

    = No. of Days in a year : Account Receivables Turnover

    = 365 : 14.6

    = 25 Days
