If Kyoto Joe sells 830 forecasts every month at a price of $2,025 each, what is its average balance sheet amount in accounts receivable? (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

  

a. What is the average collection period for Kyoto Joe? (Use 365 days a year.)

Explanation / Answer

Average collection period = 15*0.2 + 30*0.8

= 27 days

Total sales during the year = (830*12*2025)

= $20169000

Its average balance sheet amount in accounts receivable = 20169000 * (27/365)

= $1491953.42

Average collection period = 15*0.2 + 30*0.8

= 27 days

Total sales during the year = (830*12*2025)

= $20169000

Its average balance sheet amount in accounts receivable = 20169000 * (27/365)

= $1491953.42
