Answer:

COCA-COLA A/R TO     days to collect

2010   8.578163166      43

2009  9.050817757      40

PEPSICO  A/R TO     days to collect

2010  10.56401826      35

2009 10.36987287      35

Explanation:

The receivalbes turnover formula is as follows:

[tex]\frac{Sales}{Average Receivables } = $ReceivablesTurnover[/tex]

​where:

[tex]$Average Receivables=(Beginning A/R+ Ending A/R)/2[/tex]

It represt the times during the year the accounts receivables were collected

The days to collect formula: we divide the days during a year over the turnover to know the days on average it takes to collect from the customers.

[tex]\frac{365}{Receivable TO} = $Days to collect [/tex]

Coca-Cola 2010:

Sales     $ 35,119

beginning  $  3,758

ending    $  4,430

[tex]$Average Receivables=3758 + 4430)/2[/tex]

Average Receivables: 4094

[tex]\frac{35119}{4094} = $Receivables Turnover[/tex]

Receivables TO 8.578163166

[tex]\frac{365}{8.57816316560821} = $Days to collect[/tex]

Days on Inventory 43

Coca-Cola 2009:

PEPSICO 2010:

Sales 57,838

ending 6,326

[tex]$Average receivables=4624 + 6326)/2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{57838}{5475} = $receivablesTurnover[/tex]

receivables TO 10.56401826

Days to collect 35

PEPSICO 2009:

Sales 43,232

beginning 3,714

ending 4,624

[tex]\frac{43232}{4169} = $receivablesTurnover[/tex]

receivablesTO 10.36987287

[tex]\frac{365}{10.3698728711921} = $Days  to collect[/tex]

Days on Inventory 35
