Answer 1

a. 6.4 and 57 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the accounts receivable turnover and the average collection period in days is shown below;

The account receivable turnover is

= $800,000 ÷ ($100,000 + $150,000) ÷ 2

= 6.4 times

And, the average collection period is

= 365 days ÷ 6.4 times

= 57 days

Therefore the a option is correct
