Example of the calculation of receivables turnover
Question: Assume that a firm has sales for $10,000, and its current accounts receivable are $2,000, and the previous accounts receivable were $2,500. Compute the receivables turnover for the firm.
Solution:
This is the information we have been provided with:
Sales = | \(10000\) |
Current Accounts Receivables = | \(\text{\textdollar}2000\) |
Previous Accounts Receivables = | \(\text{\textdollar}2500\) |
Hence, the Receivables Turnover is computed using the following formula:
\[ \begin{array}{ccl} \text{Receivables Turnover} & = & \displaystyle \frac{\text{Sales}}{\text{Average Accounts Receivables}} \\\\ \\\\ & = & \displaystyle \frac{\text{\textdollar}10000}{(\text{\textdollar}2000+\text{\textdollar}2500)/2} \\\\ \\\\ & = & \displaystyle \frac{\text{\textdollar}10000}{\text{\textdollar}2250} \\\\ \\\\ & = & 4.44 \end{array} \]Therefore, the receivables turnover is \(4.44\), for the given sales of \(\text{\textdollar}10000\), current accounts receivables of \(\text{\textdollar}2000\), and previous account receivables of \(\text{\textdollar}2500\). This means that firm turns its receivables over \(4.44\) times, or otherwise said, the firm collects its outstanding credit accounts \(4.44\) times a year.
