Use the information below to calculate the accounts receivable and inventory turnover ratios. Then use that information to answer Question 3. Use the Worksheet tab to develop your answers and then record your answers in Blackboard.

#### Information:
Stanley Corporation has no material problem with uncollectible accounts or obsolete inventory. All sales and purchases are on account. The company provided the following information for the year ending 2022:

- **Total Sales:** $2,600,000
- **Beginning Accounts Receivable:** $700,000
- **Total Purchases of Inventory:** $1,800,000
- **Beginning Inventory:** $50,000
- **Collections on Accounts Receivable:** $2,400,000
- **Payments on Accounts Payable:** $1,850,000
- **Cost of Goods Sold:** $1,775,000

#### Tasks:
1. **Calculate the "Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio."**
2. **Calculate the "Inventory Turnover Ratio."**
3. If Stanley's competitors have a receivables turnover ratio of "6" and an inventory turnover ratio of "4", would you initially conclude that Stanley is better or worse than its competitors in managing receivables and inventory?

#### Additional Notes:
- **Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio**: This ratio measures how efficiently a company collects revenue from its credit customers. It is typically calculated as:
  \[
  \text{Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total Sales}}{\text{Average Accounts Receivable}}
  \]
  
- **Inventory Turnover Ratio**: This ratio measures how efficiently a company turns its inventory into sales. It is usually calculated as:
  \[
  \text{Inventory Turnover Ratio} = \frac{\text{Cost of Goods Sold}}{\text{Average Inventory}}
  \]

**For accurate results, remember to calculate the average accounts receivable and average inventory by taking the average of the beginning and ending balances. If ending balances are not given, additional assumptions may be needed.**
