Answer:

The Accounts Receivable turnover ratio is 7.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

With a beginning Accounts Receivable balance of $70,000, an ending balance of $140,000, and net credit sales of $800,000.

Now, to find the Accounts Receivable turnover ratio.

Accounts Receivable balance (beginning) = $70,000.

Accounts Receivable balance (ending) = $140,000.

Net credit sales = $800,000.

So, we calculate the average net sales by putting formula:

Average net sales = Accounts Receivable balance (beginning) + Accounts Receivable balance (ending) / 2.

[tex]Average\ net\ sales = \frac{70,000+140,000}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ net\ sales=\frac{210,000}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Average\ net\ sales=\$105,000.[/tex]

Now, putting formula to get the Accounts Receivable turnover ratio:

Accounts Accounts Receivable turnover = Net credit sales / Average net sales

                                                   = [tex]\frac{800000}{105000}[/tex]

                                                   =  [tex]\frac{160}{21}[/tex]

                                                   =  [tex]7.619.[/tex]

So, Accounts Receivable turnover rounded to the nearest tenth = 7.6.

Therefore, the Accounts Receivable turnover ratio is 7.6.
