Answer 1

Answer: 7.3 times

Explanation:

The Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio is an activity ratio that shows how well a company collects the debts owed to it as well as how well it gives out credit.

It is calculated by the formula:

= Net Credit sales / Average Accounts Receivable

= 839,500 / ( (110,000 + 120,000) / 2)

= 839,500 / 115,000

= 7.3 times
