    Receivable turnover ratio = 8.1 times

    Account receivable days = 44.9 days

    Explanation:

    Th account receivable days is the average length of time it takes a business to collect amount due on account from customers

    Account receivable ratio = Net sales / Average account receivable

    Account receivable days = (Average receivable/Net sales) * 365 days

    Average account receivable

    = (Receivable at the beginning + Receivable at the end) / 2

    = (4,830 + 5,130) / 2

    =4980

    Note that the accounts receivable balance at the end of 2015 will be the opening balance at the beginning of 2016. The closing balance of 4,830 of 2015 will be the opening balance for 2016

    Receivable turnover ratio

    =45,500/4980

    = 8.1 times

    Account receivable days

    = (4980/45,500) * 365 days

    = 44.9 days
