Accounts receivable turnover times times

Answer 1

Answer:

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales/Average accounts receivables

Sales revenue / [Accounts receivable balance (gross), beginning - Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning) + (Accounts receivable balance (gross), ending + Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending) / 2

For Nike

Accounts Receivable Turnover = $19795.3/ [(2884.3-77.2)+(2952.8-104.1)/2]

Accounts Receivable Turnover = $19795.3 / $2827.9

Accounts Receivable Turnover = 7 times

For Adidas

Accounts Receivable Turnover = 10675/[(1740-112)+(1556-134)]/2

Accounts Receivable Turnover = $10675 / $1525

Accounts Receivable Turnover = 7 times
