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.
Thanks a lot.
You are welcome.
