Ans. | Option 4th 37.2 days | ||
*First of all, we need to calculate the average receivables. | |||
*Average receivable = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2 | |||
($78,000 + $46,800) / 2 | |||
$62,400 | |||
*Now we can calulate the number of days in average collection period. | |||
Number of days sales in receivable = No. of days in year / Net sales * Average receivables | |||
365 / $612,000 * $62,400 | |||
37.2 days | |||
