Alliance Software began 2021 with accounts receivable of $131,000. All sales are made on credit. Sales and cash collections from customers for the year were $796,000 and $716,000, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the year was $466,000. What was Alliance's receivables turnover ratio (rounded) for 2021?
a. 3.77
b. 4.65
c. 2.8
d. 6.08
Given:- Accounts receivable in the beggining = $131,000; Credit sales = $796,000; Cash collections = $716,000;
Required:- Receivables Turnover Ratio
Computation of Accounts receivable (closing balance) = Opening balance + Credit sales - Cash collections
= 131,000 + 796,000 - 716,000
= $211,000
Average account receivables = (Sum of accounts receivable in the beggining and end of the year) / 2
= (131,000+211,000)/2
= 171,000
Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net credit sales / Average account Receivables
= 796,000 / 171,000
= 4.65 ( rounded)
The correct option is b) 4.65
