6,500,000/650,000 = 10.0 times Cost of goods sold P 900,000
Add Ending inventory 180,000
8 .Answer: C Total cost available for sales 1,080,000
Accounts Receivable Turnover: Net Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivable Deduct cost of purchases 960,000
P1,500,000 ÷ [(P200,000 + P400,000) ÷ 2] = 5.0 times Beginning inventory P 120,000
Average Inventory: (P120,000 + P180,000) ÷ 2 P150,000
9 .Answer: D Inventory Turnover: (P900,000 ÷ P150,000) 6 times
Average Daily Sales: Annual credit sales ÷ Days’ Year An alternative computation of the inventory turnover is to use Net Sales instead of Cost of
P4 million ÷ 360 days = P11,111 Goods Sold.

Average Collection Period: Average Accounts Receivable ÷ Average Daily Sales 12 .Answer: D
[(P390,000 + P410,000) ÷ 2] ÷ P11,111 = 36 days Average inventory: (P180,000 + P156,000) ÷ 2 P168,000
