    The answer is: 44 days

    Explanation:

    First we have to calculate accounts receivable turnover for Gervais Manufacturing:

    = $500,000 / [ ($80,000 + $40,000) / 2] = $500,000 / $60,000 = 8.33 times

    Then to calculate the average collection period for accounts receivable we:

    = 365 days / 8.33 = 43.8 days ≈ 44 days
