Answer:

8.27 times and 44.13 days

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

As we know that

Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable  

where,  

Net credit sales is $33,080

And, the Average accounts receivable would be

= (Accounts receivable, beginning of year + Accounts receivable, end of year) ÷ 2

= ($3,638 + $4,358) ÷ 2

= $3,998

So, the accounts receivable turnover ratio would be

= $33,080 ÷ $3,998

= 8.27 times

And the average collection period is

= 365 days ÷ accounts receivable turnover

= 365 days ÷ 8.27 times

= 44.13 days

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Bell inc should report $980,000 as the total amount of inventory at the end of the year.

Explanation:

Given information -

Inventory that were on hands - $830,000

Inventory that was in transit - $60,000

Inventory that was out on consignment - $90,000

Here for taking out the total inventory all of the given above items would be added .

Inventory that was in transit would be added because these f.o.b. goods would be considered transferred from seller to buyer as soon as they are shipped, so it doesn't matter if they're received two days after the inventory count , they will be added.

Goods which are sent on consignment would also be added because goods would remain in the name of consignor ( Bell inc ) until they're sold by consignee ( an agent who has been hired by Bell inc to sell its goods )

Inventory at end of year - $830,000 + $60,000 + $90,000

                = $980,000
