Gavin Weaver · Answer 1

Accounts receivable turn over is 16.64

Explanation:

To compute accounts receivable turn over ratio, we simply divide net credit sales over the average accounts receivable.

Accounts receivable turn over ratio = $1,240,000/$74,500

= 16.64

The higher the ratio, the better it is in the company. It simply means, the company exercises the effective way to collect its receivable from the customer.

*Net credit sales is derived by deducting sales returns and allowances from gross credit sales. If the problem is silent regarding cash sales, we will assume that the sales made by the period is all at credit.
