    Days' sales in receivables = 31.91 days

    Explanation:

    The day's sales in account receivable ratio is also called average collection period. It states the number of days on the average to collect a business's account receivable.

    Days sales turnover is calculated by dividing total number of days in a year by the account recievables turnover ratio.

    The formula for accounts receivable turnover ratio = Current credit sales received / Accounts receivable balance

    Accounts receivable turnover = 1,453,909/127,100

    Accounts receivable turnover = 11.439

    Assume a 365 day year

    Days' sales in receivables = 365/Account receivable turnover

    Days' sales in receivables = 365/11.439

    Days' sales in receivables = 31.908~ 31.91 days
