Please show all work.
Answer: Net Sales on Account = $1,368,750
Explanation:
Average Collection period = 365 days ÷ Average Receivables Turnover ratio
20 = 365 ÷ Average Receivables Turnover ratio
Average Receivables Turnover ratio = 365 ÷ 20
Average Receivables Turnover ratio = 18.25
Average Receivables Turnover ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Receivables
Average Receivables Turnover ratio = 18.25
AverageReceivables= ($50,000 +$100,000) ÷2
= $75,000
Net Credit Sales = $75,000 × 18.25
= 1,368,750
