Respuesta :

Answer:

Accounts Receivable Turnover  = 8.0 Times

Explanation:

given data

net credit sales = $1,200,000

cost of goods sold = $720,000

accounts receivable beginning = $120,000

accounts receivable ending = $180,000

to find out

What was the accounts receivable turnover

solution

we get here accounts Receivable Turnover that is express as

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable      .................1

here Average Accounts Receivable is = Opening Accounts Receivable + Closing Accounts Receivable     .................2

Average Accounts Receivable = [tex]\frac{$1,20,000+$1,80,000}{2}[/tex]

Average Accounts Receivable = $1,50,000

so put value in equation 1

Accounts Receivable Turnover  = [tex]\frac{12,00,000}{1,50,000}[/tex]

Accounts Receivable Turnover  = 8.0 Times
