Turnover: 5.60 times

Days sales in accounts receivables: 65 Days.

Explanation:

Calculation of Days Sales in Accounts Receivable = 365 / Turnover

Turnover = Sales / Average balance of trade receivables*

Average balance of trade receivables = (Closing Balance + Opening Balance) / 2.

Turnover: 1,400,000 / { (200,000 + 300,000) / 2} = 5.60 times

Days sales in accounts receivables: 365 / 5.6 = 65 days
