Question

Selected information taken from the accounting records of Vigor Company follows:

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But the following calculations must be done

Account receivable turnover = Net sales ÷ average account receivable

5 = Net sales ÷ ($900,000 + $1,000,000) ÷ 3

5 = Net sales ÷ $950,000

Now the net sales is

= $950,000 × 5

= $4,750,000

And,

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ average of account receivable

4 = Cost of goods sold ÷ ($1,100,000 + $1,200,000) ÷ 3

4 = Cost of goods sold ÷ $1,150,000

Cost of goods sold

= $1,150,000 × 4

= $4,600,000

Now the gross profit is

a. The gross profit is

= Sales - cost of goods sold

= $4,750,000 - $4,600,000

= $150,000

2. The days sales outstanding in both the cases are as follows:

DSO in inventory

= 360 ÷ 4

= 90 days

And, DSO in account receivable

= 360 ÷ 5

= 72 days
