Answer:
The average collection period is 56.25 days
Explanation:
The average collection period is the number of days' sales in receivables and calculated by using following formula:
The number of days' sales in receivables = 360/Accounts receivable turnover ratio
Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales/Accounts Receivable
Net Credit sales = Total Sales - the sales are for cash = $1,800,000 - 20% x $1,800,000 = $1,440,000
Accounts Receivable Turnover = $1,440,000/$225,000 = 6.4 times
The number of days' sales in receivables = 360/6.4 = 56.25 days
