Billings, Inc. has net income of $161,000, a profit margin of 7.6 percent, and an average accounts receivable balance of $127,100. Assume that 66% of sales are credit sales. What is the average collection period of the receivables?
Sales = Net income/ Profit margin
= 161000/ .076
= 2118421.05
Credit sales = 2118421.05* 66% =1398157.89
Average collection period = 365 * Average accounts receivable / Credit sales
= 365 * 127100/1398157.89
= 33.18 days
