    Hello Sir,

    Here for calculation of receivable period why we don’t consider the average receivable
    and when we have to consider that.

    For a retailer, let  
    S   = Sales 
    P   = Purchases 
    O   = Opening inventory 
    C   = Closing inventory 
    D   = Opening receivables 
    R   = Closing receivables 
    Which of the following is the best expression for receivables days at the period end? 
    A  [D + R]/P × 365 
    B  [D + R]/S × 365 
    C  R/S × 365 
    D  D/S × 365 

    Answer is

    C

    The question asks specifically about the receivables days at the period end, which are the closing receivables.
