Answer 1

49 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales / Accounts receivable

Account receivable turnover ratio = $602,000 / $79,922

Account receivable turnover ratio = 7.53

Average collection period = 365/7.53

Average collection period = 48.47277556440903

Average collection period = 49

Thus, firm’s sales uncollected for year is 49 days.
