Answer:

Kingbird Company

a) Journal Entries:

1. No journal required

2. Debit Accounts Receivable $102,400

Credit Sales Revenue $102,400

To record sales on account.

3. Debit Cash $90,000

Credit Accounts Receivable $90,000

To record the collections on account.

b) Accounts receivable turnover and days:

Accounts receivable turnover = Sales/Average Receivable

= $102,400/22,800

= 4.49

Accounts receivable days = 365/4.49 = 81.29 days

c) The accounts receivable turnover ratio for the current year is 4.49.  This is better than last year's 8.1.  The current year's ratio shows that liquidity had been improved.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Accounts Receivable:

Beginning balance $16,600

Net sales                 102,400

Cash collections     (90,000)

Ending balance     $29,000

Average receivable = ($16,600 + $29,000)/2 = $22,800
