Douglas Winters · Answer 1

The firm collects on its sales in an average of 10 days

Explanation:

if the receivables turnover is 36.5 it means it colect his accounts 36.5 times per year

we can convert this into a days metric:

the days account is outstanding:

365 days per year / we collect 36.5 per year = 10 days to collect an account on average

The acounts are collected every ten days on average.
