66.36 days

Explanation:

Calculation of the days' sales in accounts receivable.

Using this formula

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = [Net credit sales (Beginning net account receivable + Ending net account receivable) / 2) ]

Let plug in the formula

[$1,300,000 / ($270,000 + $202,000) / 2) ]

$1,300,000 / ($472,000/2)

=$1,300,000/236,000

=$5.50 Days' sales in receivables

= 365/5.5

= 66.36 days

Therefore the days' sales in accounts receivable will be 66.36 days
