a)Net credit sales =sales * % of credit sales

                 = 8,300,000* 73%

                 = 6,059,000

Average collection period =365* Average accounts receivable/Net credit sales

                                  = 365* 563100/6059000

                                  = 33.92 days (rounded to 34 days)

b)Average collection period =365* Average accounts receivable/Net credit sales

    20 = 365* AR/6059000

Accounts receivable = 20*6059000/365

                                 = $ 332000

c)Cost of goods sold =sales[ 1-gross profit %]

                = 8,300,000[1-.28]

                = 8,300,000*.72

               = $ 5,976,000

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold /inventories

    9.2 = 5976000/Inventories

   Inventories = 5976000/9.2

                = 649,565.22 ( rounded to 649,565)
