Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accounts receivable turnover rate = Net credit sales / Average accounts receivable

Average accounts receivable = (Beginning accounts receivable + Ending accounts receivable) / 2
Ending accounts receivable = Beginning accounts receivable + Increase in accounts receivable during the year

Beginning accounts receivable = $450,000
Increase in accounts receivable during 2012 = $50,000
Ending accounts receivable = $450,000 + $50,000 = $500,000

Average accounts receivable = ($450,000 + $500,000) / 2 = $475,000

Accounts receivable turnover rate = $3,200,000 / $475,000 = 6.74

Therefore, the best answer choice is C.
