Answer 1

66.36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of the​ days' sales in accounts​ receivable .

Using this formula

Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = [Net credit sales (Beginning net account receivable +Ending net account receivable)/2)]

Let plug in the formula

[$1,300,000/($270,000 + $202,000)/2)]

$1,300,000/($472,000/2)

=$1,300,000/236,000

=$5.50 Days' sales in receivables

= 365/5.5

= 66.36 days

Therefore the days' sales in accounts​ receivable will be 66.36 days
