Question

Peterboro Supply has a current accounts receivable balance of $391,648. Credit sales for the year just ended were $5,338,411. How long did it take on average for credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past year

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken will be 31.35 days

Explanation:

We have given account receivable = $391648

Credit sales for the year = $5338411

Number of days in an year = 365 days

We have to find the time taken on average for credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past year

Time taken is given by $=\frac{365\times account\ receivable}{credit\ sales}=\frac{365\times3 91648}{5338411}=31.35days$
