Answer and Explanation:

The computations are as follows

a.  For company receivable turnover

As we know it is

= Credit Sales ÷ current account receivable balance

= $2,940,600 ÷ $457,615

= 6.43 times

b.

Now

company's days' sales in receivables is

= 365 ÷ Receivables turnover ratio

= 365  ÷ 6.43

= 56.77 days  

c.  Therefore the average collection period is the same as days sales in receivable i.e 56.77 days
