Answer 1

Solution :

22. Interest Revenue Recognized by Parson = Amount of Notes Receivable * Rate of Interest * Time /12

                                                                = $62,000 * 10/100 * 3/12

                                                                = $1,550

23. Amount Receivable to Trell Corporation = Amount of accounts receivable - 1% fees charged + Interest Amount

                                                               = $52,000 - (52,000 *1%) + 9,000

                                                               = $51,480 +9,000

                                                               = $60,480

24. Receivables Turnover Ratio for 2021      = Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivables

         = $415,000 / 91,000

   = $ 4.56 times

   Note 1:    Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening Receivables + Closing Receivables) / 2

                                                               = ($87,000 + $95,000) / 2

                                                               = $91,000

   Note 2: We assume that all sales are credit sales.
