Annual sales of the X enterprise total $ 50,000. If the business with an average collection time of 45 days reduces the average collection time to 30 days, how much will the credit level change? (1 year 365 days)
Average Collection Period= 365/Receivable Turnover Ratio
Receivable Turnover Ratio = Credit sales/Average receivables.
Credit sales/Average receivables= 365/Average Collection Period
Therefore,
Average Receivables= Credit Sales*Average Collection Period/365
Given,
Sales=$50,000. Average collection period now= 45 days and proposed=30 days.
Assuming that the entire sales is on credit and substituting these values,
Average receivables now= $50,000*45/365 = $6,164.38
Average receivables proposed= $50,000*30/365 =$4,109.59
Change in credit level= $6,164.38 - $4,109.59 = $2,054.79
