    I'm getting D. 45 days, with the assumption of the whole $600,000 being credit sales. It's hard to take into account all of cash flow possibilities just to separate cash and credit sales with the sales figure given above. 

    What is the correct answer per testbank?

    Dear Gabriel,

    Yes the correct answer is 45 days and I totally agree with you that the question doesnt indicate Sales on Credit explicitly..

    Thank you for your help, I wish you have a nice day.

    I think all the other information is irrelevant. DSO = 45 days is the closest answer. Just use the 600,000 as net credit sales.

    Hello Dear

    Please follow the below formula to calculate to collection period

    =Average account Receivable   
          Net Credit Sales                       X 360 days

    Average Account Receivable = Opening Receivable+ Ending Receivable 
                                                                               2
                                                    =     60000+90000/2  = 75000

    Net Sales = 600000

    So here we have to apply formula mentioned in Above= 75000 / 600000*360 = 45 days

    so option : D is Correct

    Good day
    I would assume the credit sales is the net sales.

    Regards

    Hi Dear,

    Yes because there is no further information if the sales was on credit or cash, so we can be assume the net sales as credit sales. 

    thanks
