Answer 1

1.

General Journal	Debit	Credit
Accounts Receivable	102400
Sales		102400
Cash	90000
Accounts Receivable		90000

2.

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Receivables

Beginning Accounts Receivable	$16600
Add: Sales	102400
Total Receivables	119000
Less: Cash Receipts	90000
Ending Accounts Receivable	$29000

Accounts Receivable Turnover = $102400/[(16600+29000)/2] = 4.49

3.(Turn over ratio last year was 8.1)

It should be declined. Because this could be a bad indication of future liquidity, if customers continue to pay slowly. Kingbird may want to consider offering early payment (cash) discounts.
