5. Number of days' sales in receivables

7. Number of days’ sales in inventory

12. Return on total assets

Answer 1

Note : I provided three answers and answers are rounded so please take as per your requirements. Because round off factor is not provided in the problem.

5.Days sales in account receivables = average receivable /sales *365

=$542,000/10,860,000*365

=18.21639042 days without rounded

=18.22 days( if rounded to two decimals)

=18 days if rounded to near days

7. No of days sales in inventory = average inventory /cost of goods sold *365

=405000/6000,000*365

=24.6375 days (without rounded)

=24.64 days ( rounded to two decimals)

24 days (rounded to near days)

12. Return on assets = net income /average assets

=$610,000/$8,639,000 *100

=7.061002% without rounded

=7.06 if rounded to two decimals

=7% if rounded to near percent

Notes

Average receivable =430,000+380,000/2=405000

Average inventory = 584000+500,000/2=542,000

Average assets =9024000+8254000/2=8,639,000
