    B. 17.78 days

    Explanation:

    Days Sales Outstanding or Age of Receivables measures the average number of days it take for a company to collect its receivables.

    This is computed by dividing the Average Accounts Receivables over Daily Sales. Bear Rug's Average Accounts Receivable is $39,500 ($41,000 + $38,000/2) while its Daily Sales is 2,222 ($811,000/365).

    Thus, the average days for the firm to collect its receivables are 17.78 days ($39,500/2,222).
