The receivable collection period is computed as

  • A.sales divided by receivables turnover
  • B.receivables divided by daily credit sales
  • C.daily credit sales divided by receivables
  • D.receivables divided by total assets

Answer: B

Correct answer: receivables divided by daily credit sales

Dividing the amount owed by the sales made per day gives the number of days of sales that remain uncollected, which is the collection period. Only credit sales belong in the denominator, since cash sales never become receivables, and the result is compared with the terms actually offered.
