In managing the firm's accounts receivable, it is possible to increase credit sales per day yet still keep accounts receivable fairly steady, provided the firm can shorten the length of its collection period sufficiently. B. A firm that makes 90% of its sales on credit and 10% cash is growing at a constant rate of 10% annually.
