Question:

Read the following information carefully and answer the next 5 questions:

PARTICULARS AMOUNT (₹)
Revenue from operations 8,75,000
Creditors 90,000
Bills Receivables 48,000
Bills Payables 52,000
Purchases 4,20,000
Trade debtors 59,000

 

Calculate Trade Receivables Turnover ratio.

Options:

8.18 times

8.23:1

8.18%

8.81:1

Correct Answer:

8.18 times

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- 8.18 times.

Trade receivables turnover ratio = Revenue from operations / Average trade receivables
                                               = 8,75,000/1,07,000
                                               = 8.177 or 8.18 times.

NOTE- There are no opening and closing trade receivables, so whole figure is considered as average trade receivables.
In order to calculate average Trade Receivables as the figures of debtors and bills receivables in the beginning of the year are not available. So when only year-end figures are available use the same as it is.
So, average trade receivables = Bills Receivables + Trade debtors
                                            = 48,000 + 59,000
                                            = 1,07,000

* The liquidity position of the firm depends upon the speed with which trade receivables are realised. This ratio indicates the number of times the receivables are turned over and converted into cash in an accounting period so answer will be in times not percentage.
