a. In 2017 the company is collecting faster than in year 2018.

Explanation:

Account receivable turnover tells us that the number of times any business is collecting it average account receivables. This formula is used to identify the ability of the business to collect from its account receivables.

Hence, the situation was better in 2.17 as compared to 2018 because the company was collecting its money from account receivables at a better recovery rate.

Good Luck.
