2. Net sales (all on account) for the year were $105,300. Headland does not offer cash discounts.
3. Collections on accounts receivable during the year were $81,300.

Required:
Compute Headland’s accounts receivable turnover and days to collect receivables for the year.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For account receivable turnover ratio

Accounts Receivable Turnover is

= Sales ÷ Average Receivables

Beginning Accounts Receivable  $21,400

Add: Sales                                 $105,300

Less: Cash Receipts                $81,300

Ending Accounts Receivable   $45,400

Now

Accounts Receivable Turnover is

= $105,300 ÷ ($21,400 + $45,400) ÷ 2

= 3.15 times

Now days to sell is  

= 365 ÷ 3.15 times

=116 days

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
