In 2017, the accounts receivable turnover and collection period is 7.8 times & 46.7 days.
In 2016, the accounts receivable turnover and collection period is 7.54 times & 48.6 days.
Explanation:
Accounts Receivable turnover : Accounts receivable turnover represents the ratio between accounts receivable and turnover.
The accounts receivable is the amount which is not yet received from customers for the good supplied by the company.
The formula for computing accounts receivable turnover is shown below =
= Turnover ÷ average accounts receivable
= Turnover ÷ ( opening accounts receivable + Ending accounts receivable ) ÷ 2
Collection Period : The collection period denotes that period in which the company is able to receives its payment.
The formula is for collection period is shown below:
= No of days in a year ÷ average accounts receivable
Now, put the values in the above formula
First we calculate for 2017:
Accounts receivable turnover = $4,300,000 ÷ ($ 550,000 + $ 540,000 )÷ 2
= $4,300,000 ÷ $545,000
= 7.8 times
Collection Period = 365 ÷ 7.8 = 46.7 days
For 2016:
Accounts receivable turnover = $4,000,000 ÷ ( $520,000 + $ 540,000 ) ÷ 2
= $4,000,000 ÷ $530,000
= 7.5 times
Collection Period = 365 ÷ 7.5 = 48.6 days
Thus, in 2017, the accounts receivable turnover and collection period is 7.8 times & 46.7 days.
In 2016, the accounts receivable turnover and collection period is 7.54 times & 48.6 days.
