A company has net income of $188,000, a profit margin of 7.1 percent, and an accounts receivable balance of $127,370. Assuming 70 percent of sales are on credit, what is the company’s days’ sales in receivables? (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Calculate sales of the company as follows:
Profit margin = Net income / Sales
7.1% = $188,000 / Sales
Sales = $2,647,887.323943660
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate the credit sales as follows:
Credit sales = sales * Percentage
= $2,647,887.323943660 * 70%
= $1,853,521.12676056
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate the number of days in accounts receivables as follows:
Number of days = (365* Accounts receivables) / Credit sales
= (365 * $127,370) / $1,853,521.12676056
= 25.08 days.
Therefore, the number of days in receivables is 25.08 days.
