Meadow · Answer 1

b. 42.12 days

Explanation:

Calculation for Graber company's average collection period will be:

Using this formula

Average collection period = Sales/[ (Beginning accounts receivable + Ending accounts receivable) / 2]

Let plug in the formula

130,000/[ (18,000 + 12,000) / 2]

=130,000 / (30,000/2)

130,000/15,000

= 8.66days

Hence,

365/8.666666

=42.12 days

Therefore Graber company's average collection period will be 42.12 days
