Document Summary
Credit card discounts, sales discounts, and sales returns and allowances. Bad debt expense and allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables turnover ratio = net sales* average net trade accounts receivable. * ideally the numerator would be net credit sales, but companies often do not separate between cash and credit sales. Credit sales * percentage is bad calculation; general sales * percentage is even worse. Most of the time, the ratio will be greater than one. Average net trade accounts receivable ((beginning a/r + ending a/r) / 2) The receivables turnover ratio reflects how many times average trade receivables are recorded and collected during the period. The higher the ratio, the faster the collection of receivables. Average collection period = 365 receivables turnover ratio. Indicates the average time it takes a customer to pay its accounts.
