The following information is taken from Reagan Company's December 31 balance sheet: Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,419 Accounts receivable 70,422 Merchandise inventories 60,362 Prepaid expenses 4,100 Accounts payable $ 14,950 Notes payable 86,638 Other current liabilities 9,500 If net sales for the current year were $612,000, the firm's days' sales uncollected for the year is: (Use 365 days a year.)

Answer 1

Answer: 42 days

Explanation:

To solve the above question, first, we will have to calculate the debtors turnover ratio which is the date sales uncollected for the year. This will be:

= Sales/Average Accounts Receivables

= $612,000 / $70,422

= 8.69 times

Since we are using 365 days for a year, then the firm's days sales uncollected for the year will be calculated as:

= 365 / 8.69

= 42 days
