1. Calculate the receivables turnover ratio and the average collection period for WalCo, TarMart and CostGet.
2. Which company appears most efficient in collecting cash from sales?

1. Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening AR+Closing AR)/2

WalCo = 1,735 + 2,682 / 2 = 2208.5 = 2209

TarMart= 5,766 + 6,294 / 2 = 6030

CostGet=  549 + 585 / 2 = 567

Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivables

WalCo= 314,427 / 2209 = 142.339 = 142.34

TarMart=  59,878 / 6030 = 9.903 = 9.90

CostGet= 60,963 / 567= 107.518 = 107.52

Average Collection Period = 365/ Receivable Turnover Ratio

WalCo= 365 / 142.34 = 2.56

CostGet= 365 / 9.90= 36.87

TarMart= 365 / 107.52= 3.39

2. Walco Company is the best Since it collects its AR in 2.56 days

88 because 4 plus 4 equals 8. 40 plus 40 equals 80. 80 plus 8 equals 88

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
