The accounts receivable turnover is calculated to determine how many times, on average, the company collects its receivables during the year.**Multiple Choice Question:**Calculate the company's accounts receivable turnover using the following options:- 8.83- 6.99- 0.79- 0.14- 0.11**Explanation:**The accounts receivable turnover ratio is calculated with the formula:\[ \text{Accounts Receivable Turnover} = \frac{\text{Net Sales}}{\text{Average Accounts Receivable}} \]Given:- Net Sales = $570,000- Average Accounts Receivable = $81,500By substituting the values into the formula:\[ \text{Accounts Receivable Turnover} = \frac{570,000}{81,500} \approx 7 \]Therefore, the correct answer is close to 6.99.
