A company has net income of $187,000, a profit margin of 9.40 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $106,283. Assuming 64 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company's days' sales in receivables?
10.97 days
39.87 days
30.47 days
19.50 days
31.99 days
Answer : Correct option is 30.47 days .
Explanation :
Days' sales in receivables = 365 days / Receivable Turnover ratio
Note : Assumed 365 days in a year
Receivables turnover ratio = Net Credit sales / Accounts receivables
For the purpose of calculation of Net credit sales we need to find the total sales
Total Sales = Net Income / Profit margin
= 187000 / 0.0940
= 1,989,361.70212
Credit sales = 64% of total Sales
= 64 % * 1989361.70212
= 1,273,191.48935
Receivables turnover ratio = 1273191.48935 / 106283
= 11.9792581066
Days' sales in receivables = 365 days / Receivable Turnover ratio
= 365 days / 11.9792581066
= 30.4693326374 or 30.47 days
