<br />I have a pretty basic question for most of you...

I'm having trouble understanding how to get the Accounts Receivable Turnover. I understand it is calculated by NET-Sales/Accounts Receivable or Net-Sales/Accounts Receivable & Short-Term Notes Receivable, but my problem does not seem to be working out. I know the answer to the problem, but I cant seem to arrive at the same solution the exercise gives. Here is the problem if anyone wants to take a look, the answer apparently is 15.93

Sales 889700
COGS <u>508100</u>
Profit 381600
Operating Exp. <u>145300</u>
Operating Income 236300
Interest Exp <u>3500</u>
Income Before Tax 232800
Income Taxes <u>80400</u>
Net Income 153400
---------------------------------

Cash 8200
Temp Investments 28000
A/R, net 52900
Inventory 23900
Prepaid Expenses 4900
Notes Receivable 9500
Plant, assets <u>492000</u>
Total Assets 619400

I get 16.81 (

Is this a full question or Extract from the question,There should be some Opening bal for A/c Recieveables, because formula for A/C Rec is Net Sales/Avg A/c Recieveables,
