Answer:

Days sales outstanding =256 days

Average accounts receivable = $109589

Average accounts receivable = $ 98630 would decrease

Explanation:

days sales outstanding = accounts receivables / average sales per day

                                       = (800000*0.7)/ (800000/365)

                                       = 560000/ 2191.780822

                                       = 255.5 days

days outstanding collection = (average accounts receivables / credit sales)*356

50 days / 365= average receivables / 800000

0.1369863014 *800000= average receivables

average receivables = 109589.0411

using same formula

days outstanding collection =  (average accounts receivables / credit sales)*356

45 days /365 = average receivables / 800000

average receivables= 0.1232876712*800000 = 98630.13699
