Answer:
a. 31.70 days
b. $266,054.79
c. $667,608.70
Explanation:
a. If Brenmar's accounts receivable equal $ 562 comma 300, what is its average collection period?
Credit sales = $8,300,000 * 78% = $6,474,000
Average collection period = (Accounts receivable / Credit sales) * 365 = ($562,300 / $6,474,000) * 365 = 31.70 days
b. If Brenmar reduces its average collection period to 15 days, what will be its new level of accounts receivable?
Average Collection Period=365*Account Receivables/Credit Sales
New Account Receivables =Average Collection Period * (Credit Sales / 365) = 15 * ($6,474,000 / 365) = $266,054.79
c. Brenmar's inventory turnover ratio is 9.2 times. What is the level of Brenmar's inventories?
Gross Profit = Sales * Gross Profit Margin = $8,300,000 * 26% = $2,158,000
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit = $8,300,000 - 2,158,000 = $6,142,000
Inventory = Cost of goods sold / Inventory Turnover Ratio = $6,142,000 / 9.2 = $667,608.70
