Answer and Explanation:
The computation of receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Sun Health and Select Medical is shown below:-
For Sun health
Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables
= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)
= $3,630 ÷ (($300 + $287) ÷ 2)
= $3,630 ÷ 293.5
= 12.4 times
Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio
= 365 ÷ 12.37 times
= 29.5 days
For Sun medical
Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables
= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)
= $3,940 ÷ (($499 + $438) ÷ 2)
= $3,940 ÷ 468.5
= 8.4 times
Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio
= 365 ÷ 8.41 times
= 43.4 days
