1. Fenwick Holdings reported cash sales in 2014 of P220,000. Accounts receivable at the
beginning of the year totaled P420,000, with a balance of P490,000 at the end of the year. If
the company's accounts receivable turnover is 3.5 for the year. Find the average
receivables.
Ave AR = (420,000+490,000)/2
Ave AR = 455,000.00

2. Same above, how much are its total sales for the year?

420k+490k=Ave A/R =455K

3.5 = x/455K
Credit Sales =1,592,500 + Cash Sales 220K = Total Sales =1,812,500.00

3. 'Riley Brothers' has a DSO of 38 days, and its annual sales are P4,000,000. What is its
accounts receivable balance? Assume it uses a 365-day year.

38 = x (365)/4M
X = 4M(38)/365 =416,438.36

4. If a firm has sales of P25,680,900 a year, and the average collection period for the industry
is 45 days, what should this firm's accounts receivable be if the firm is comparable to the
industry?
DSO = Ave Receivable*360/ Sales
45 days = 360x/25,680,900
X = 3,210,112.50

5. Sheffield Corp. had a balance in the Accounts Receivable account of P805,000 at the
beginning of the year and a balance of P902,000 at the end of the year. Net credit sales
during the year amounted to P8,065,000. What was the average collection period of the
receivables in terms of days?
DSO = Ave Receivable*360/ Sales
DSO = (805,000+902,000)/2*360 / 8,065,000 = 38.10 days

6. Flying Tigers, Inc., has net sales of 779,000 and accounts receivables of 165,000. What is

9. Tara Company's budget shows the following credit sales for the current year: September,
P25,000; October, P36,000; November, P30,000; December, P32,000. Experience has
shown that payment for credit sales is received as follows: 15% in the month of sale, 60% in
the first month after sale, 20% in the second month after sale, and 5% is uncollectible. How
much cash will Tara Company expect to collect in November as a result of current and past
credit sales?
September 25,000 x 20% = 5,000
October 36,000 x 60% = 21,600
November 30,000 x 15% = 4,500

10. The Bear Rug has sales of P811,000. The cost of goods sold is equal to 63 percent of sales.
The beginning accounts receivable balance is P41,000 and the ending accounts receivable
balance is P38,000. How long on average does it take the firm to collect its receivables?
DSO = Ave Receivable*360/ Sales
