The accounts receivable turnover ratio is 9 times and option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The accounts receivables turnover ratio is a measure to check the efficiency of a company in extending and collecting the credit. The accounts receivable turnover ratio can be calculated as follows,

Accounts receivable Turnover = Net Sales  /  Average Accounts receivable

Where Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts Receivable + Ending balance of Accounts receivable) / 2

Average accounts receivable = (180000 + 120000) /  2   =  $150000

The accounts receivable turnover = 1350000 / 150000   = 9.0 times
