Year 3: Accounts receivable turnover:

$2,500,000/[($167,000+$172,000) / 2] = 14.7 times

The company's accounts receivable turnover has increased from 12.7 in Year 2 to 14.7 in Year 3. This increase in accounts receivable turnover may indicate that the company has tightened its credit policy or that it has improved on its collection efforts regarding receivables.
