2016 2017
Net Sales=(A) $ 13,59,87,000.00 $           17,78,66,000.00
Beginning Accounts Receivable $       56,54,000.00 $                 83,39,000.00
Ending Accounts Receivable(Including Note) $       83,39,000.00 $             1,31,64,000.00
Average Accounts Receivable=(Beginning Accounts Receivable+Ending Accounts Receivable/2)=($5654000+$8339000)/2,($8339000+$13164000)/2=(B) $       69,96,500.00 $             1,07,51,500.00
Accounts Receivable Turnover=Sales/Average accounts receivable=(A)/(B) 19.44 16.54 Times
Average collection period=(365/Accounts receivable turnover)
(365/19.44),(365/16.54) 18.78 22.06 Days
In this case Average collection period is increased in 2017,due to various reasons:-
1) More credit to customers for longer period.
2) Less efforts will be taken for collect amount from customers.
