D. Average number of days' supply in inventory = 633 days

Explanation:

Net Sales $ 388,000

Sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000

Less Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000

Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts Rec (beg) Accounts Rec (end)/2

= 70,000+ 100,000/2= $85,000

A. Receivable turnover ratio.

Receivable turnover ratio= Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable

= 388,000/ 85,000= 4.5647= 4.565= 4.57 times

A high turnover ratio is favorable because the accounts receivable are quickly collected.

B. Average age of receivables.

Average age of receivables= Accounts receivable *365/ Sales

= 100,000* 365/388,000= 365,000,00/388,000= 94.07 days

Accounts receivable will be collected in 94 days.

C. Inventory turnover ratio.

Inventory turnover ratio= Cost Of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory

= 231,000/38,000+ 28,000/2

= 231,000/33,000= 7 times

A company with a high turnover requires a smaller investment in inventory than one producing the same sales with a lower turn over.

D. Average number of days' supply in inventory

Average number of days' supply in inventory= Cost of Goods Sold/ 365

= 231,000 /365= 632.89

More Inventory will be needed in 633 days
