How many days did it take Simpson to collect its average level of receivables?

Number of days=18

Explanation:

We determine average net accounts receivable to calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio.

(Beginning accounts receivable + Ending accounts receivable )/2=  Average net accounts receivable

(5,000+10,000)/2 = 7500

net credit sales/ average net accounts receivable = accounts receivable turnover ratio

150,000/7500=

accounts receivable turnover ratio=20

Number of days=365/20

Number of days=18
