a. 12.88 times

b. 28.35 days

c. 28.35 days

Explanation:

a. Receivables turnover

Receivables turnover = Credit sales : Receivables

= $6,787,626 : $527,164

= 12.88 times

b. Days' sales in receivables

Days' sales in receivables = 365 days : Receivables turnover

= 365 : 12.88

= 28.35 days

c. On average it would take 28.35 days for credit customers to pay off their balances during the last year.
