Holden · Answer 1

Account Receivable Ratio = 10

Explanation:

Account Receivable Turnover Ratio:

The Account Receivable Turnover Ratio is an accounting measure that indicates the effectiveness of company's ability to collect its receivables from its customers.

A high turnover ratio represents good credit policy and aggressive collections department with good portfolio of customers.

A low turnover ratio indicates excess amount of old receivables being tied up in working capital.

Formula: Net Credit Sales : (Opening receivable + closing receivable/2)

Receivable Turnover Ratio = $ 1,450,000 : ($200,000+$90,000/2)

=$1,450,000 : $145,000

= 10
