    Average collection period for 2021 is 48 days approximately

    Explanation:

    The formula for average collection period is 365days/average accounts receivable turnover

    The average accounts receivable turnover can be computed using the below formula:

    Average accounts receivable turnover=net sales/average accounts receivable

    Net sales in 2021 is $562,400

    average accounts receivable = (64000+84000) / 2

    =74000

    Hence, average receivable turnover = 562400/74000

    =7.6 times

    Since the average receivables turnover is 7.6, average collection period is determined as follows;

    average collection period=365/7.6

    =48.03
