    D. 26 days

    Explanation:

    For computing the Average collection period, first, we have to find out the Accounts receivable turnover ratio which is shown below

    = Credit sales : average accounts receivable

    where,

    Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts receivable + ending balance of Accounts receivable) : 2

    =, ($67,400 + $48,900) : 2

    = $58,150

    And, the net credit sale is $807,800

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the answer would be equal to

    = $807,800 : $58,150

    = 13.89 times

    Now Average collection period in days = Total number of days in a year : accounts receivable turnover ratio

    = 365 days : 13.89 times

    = 26.27 days
