Answer: 33 days

Explanation:

Given

Credit sales = $1,032,800

Average accounts receivable of $86,300

Calculation of number of days taken for customers to pay for credit purchases

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Net Credit sales / Average accounts receivable

(Net credit sales means only credit sales and deduct any sales returns)

=1032800/92600

=11.15 times in a year

Calculation of number of days

=365 days/11.15 times

=32.74 or 33 days approximately.
