Answer 1

1.
Accounts Receivable ending balance = $581200+2863600-72240-2512000-42630+14180-14180 = $817930
Average accounts receivable = ($581200+817930)/2 = $699565

Accounts Receivable turnover = Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= (2863600-72240) / 699565 = 4.0

Average Collection Period = 365/4 = 91.3 days
