1. A+ Airplanes normally sells $125,000 of its product on credit each day, and it takes an average of 40 days to collect the credit sales. (a) What is the average accounts receivable that is reported on A+'s balance sheet? (b) What is the company's account receivable turnover?
(a)
Sales per day = 125000
Sales for year 125000 * 365
Average collection period 40
Average accounts receivable formula = Total sales/365 * Average collection period
125000 * 365 /365 * 40
5000000
Alternatively, formula is = Per day sales * Average collection period
125000 * 40
5000000
So, Average accounts receivable is $5,000,000.
(b)
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales / Average accounts receivables
sales = 125000*365= 45625000
Accounts receivable turnover ratio = 45625000/5000000
9.125
So, accounts receivable turnover ratio is 9.125.
