Answer:
32.44 days
Explanation:
The computation of the average collection period is shown below:
But before that we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio
So, the account receivable turnover ratio is
= (net sales) ÷ (average of account receivables)
= $25,875 ÷ ($2,400 + $2,200) ÷ 2
= $25,875 ÷ $2,300
= 11.25 times
Now the average collection period is
= Total no of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio
= 365 ÷ 11.25
= 32.44 days
We assume that the no of days that should be considered is 365 days
