Granger Corporation had $185,000 in sales on account last year. The beginning accounts receivable balance was $16,000 and the ending accounts receivable balance was $25,000. The corporation's average collection period was closest to: (Assume 365 days a year. Round your intermediate answers to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Average AR=(Beginning AR+Ending AR)/2

=(16000+25000)/2=$20500

Hence average collection period=(Average AR/Sales)*365 days

=(20500/185000)*365 days

which is equal to

=40.5 days(Approx)(D)
