Solution

a. Accounts receivable turnover = Sales / Average accounts receivable

Year 2:

Accounts receivable turnover = $1,921,360 / [($175,200 + $167,900) / 2] = 11.2

Year 1:

Accounts receivable turnover = $1,952,750 / [($197,100 + $167,900) / 2] = 10.7

b. Days\' sales in receivables = 365 / Accounts receivable turnover

Year 2:

Days\' sales in receivables = 365 / 11.2 = 32.6 days

Year 1:

Days\' sales in receivables = 365 / 10.7 = 34.1 days
