**LEGUMES PLUS Comparative Income Statement  
Year Ended December 31, 2017, 2018, and 2019**

|               | 2019        | 2018       | 2017       |
|---------------|-------------|------------|------------|
| Net Credit Sales | $1,256,300 | $1,020,570 | $967,478   |
| COGS          | 500,000     | 580,320    | 465,780    |
| Gross Margin  | $756,300    | $440,250   | $501,698   |
| Expenses      | 200,000     | 174,450    | 169,422    |
| Net Income (Loss) | $556,300  | $265,800 | $332,276  |

**A. Compute the accounts receivable turnover ratios for each company for 2018 and 2019. Round your answers to two decimal places.**

|               | Bean Superstore | Legume Plus |
|---------------|-----------------|-------------|
| ART 2018      | x times         | times       |
| ART 2019      |                 |             |

**B. Compute the number of days’ sales in receivables ratios for each company for 2018 and 2019. Assume 365 days a year. Round your answers to two decimal places.**

|               | Bean Superstore | Legume Plus |
|---------------|-----------------|-------------|
| Days' Sales 2018 | days          | days        |
| Days' Sales 2019 |               |             |

**C. Which company is the better investment and why?**

a. Legume could be the better investment because the 2019 turnover rate is close to Bean, but the trend is upward, while Bean is downward.

b. If one considers other factors such as net income, Legume shows a big jump in 2019 for net income, and greater cash on hand and receivables than Bean.

c. Bean could be considered the better investment because its net income, while lower than Legume’s in 2019, is much less volatile and therefore less risky.

d. All of the above statements may be correct.

---

This exercise helps in understanding how to analyze financial statements to evaluate investment opportunities, focusing on turnover ratios and the stability of net income over different periods.
