Formula for Receivables turn over is

Receivables turn over = Net credit sales / Average Accounts receivable

                                     = [tex]\frac{4,448,730}{335,500}[/tex] = 13.26

⇒Company's receivables turnover = 13.26

b.)

Day's sales in receivables = 365 days / Receivable turnovers

                                            = [tex]\frac{365}{13.26}[/tex] = 27.53

⇒Day's sales in receivables = 27.53 days
