8.96 times; 40.74 days

Explanation:

Given that,

Net Credit sales = $35,497,000

Number of days in the year = 365

Receivables Turnover Ratio:

= Net Credit sales : Average Accounts receivable

= $35,497,000 : [ ($3,536,000 + $4,386,000) : 2]

= 8.96 times

Average Day Sales in Receivables:

= Number of days in the year : Accounts receivable turnover ratio

= 365 : 8.96

= 40.74 days
