How is the receivables turnover ratio measured? What does this ratio indicate? Is a higher or lower receivables turnover preferable?

What will be an ideal response?


The receivables turnover ratio equals net credit sales divided by average accounts receivable. The ratio shows the number of times during a year that the average accounts receivable balance is collected (or "turns over"). Typically, a higher ratio is a good indicator of a company's effectiveness in managing receivables.
