a.

Accounts receivable turnover = Sales on account ÷ Average accounts receivable*

= $1,360,000 ÷ $197,500 = 6.89 (rounded)

*Average accounts receivable =

($195,000 + $200,000) ÷ 2 = $197,500

 

b.

Average collection period = 365 days ÷ Accounts receivable turnover

= 365 days ÷ 6.89 = 53.0 days (rounded)

 

c.

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory*

= $870,000 ÷ $98,500 = 8.83 (rounded)

*Average inventory = ($97,000 + $100,000) ÷ 2 = $98,500

 

d.

Average sale period = 365 days ÷ Inventory turnover

= 365 days ÷ 8.83 = 41.3 days (rounded)

 

e.

Operating cycle = Average sale period + Average collection period

= 41.3 days + 53.0 days = 94.3 days

 

f.

Total asset turnover = Sales ÷ Average total assets*

= $1,360,000 ÷ $1,421,000 = 0.96 (rounded)

*Average total assets = ($1,432,000 + $1,410,000) ÷ 2 = $1,421,000
