Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Calculation of Average accounts receivable balance

Operating Cycle = Days' Sales of Inventory + Days Sales Outstanding

Hence Days Sales Outstanding = Operating Cycle - Days' Sales of Inventory

= 35 -18 = 17 Days

Average accounts receivable balance = Days Sales Outstanding * Sales Per Day

= 17 * 25800 = $438600
