20X1: $23,450/$157,100 * 365 = 54.5 days
20X2: $18,020/$163,500 * 365 = 40.2 days
Yes, there are 14.3 fewer days in the days' sales uncollected which means the company is doing a better job collecting the receivables. Sales have increased slightly at the same time. This indicates improvement in both the company's ability to collect receivables and the overall financial health of the company.
