66832

15544

Accounts Receivables 2018

4686

1400

Accounts Receivables 2017

4594

1480

Average Receivables 

(4686+4594)/2 = 4640 

(1400+1480)/2 = 1440

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Receivables 

66832/4640 = 14.40

15544/1440 = 10.79

DSO = Accounts Receivables ÷ Net Credit Sales × 365

14.40/66832 = 25.34

10.79/15544 = 33.81
