As the question has more than 3 sub-parts, the first 4 subparts (ie 5,6,7 &8) are answered. If you want the answer for unanswered sub-parts, please repost the question with unanswered sub-parts

Days of sales in receivables tells us the average collection period it took for the company to collect cash from the receivables of the company.

It is calculated as:

Number of Day's sales in receivable = 365/Accounts receivable turnover ratio

Inventory Turnover is defined as the total number of times the company has"turned" Inventory over ie sold inventory over the course of the period.

It is calculated as:

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory 

where Average Invetnory = (Current year Inventory + Previous Year Inventory)/2

Number of day's sales in inventory indicates the number of days it took to sell inventory by the company 

It is calculated as

Number of Day's sales in inventory= 365/Inventory turnover ratio

Ratio of fixed assets to long term liabilities = Fixed Assets/Long term Liabilities
