    Section B - Case 2: Single Entity Accounts & Ratio Analysis

    *Scenario: Horizon Wind Farms Ltd has prepared draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20X8. The draft net profit is $850,000. Draft Revenue is $4,000,000 and Cost of Sales is $2,200,000. The following adjustments have not yet been processed:

    1. Depreciation on new turbines of $50,000 was omitted.
    2. An annual insurance premium of $12,000 paid on 1 July 20X8 was expensed in full.
    3. Closing inventory was overvalued by $30,000.
    4. An irrecoverable debt of $15,000 needs to be written off.
      Equity comprises Share capital $1,000,000 and Retained earnings $2,000,000. There is a long-term loan of $1,500,000.*

    If the adjusted Trade Receivables are $450,000, what is the Receivables Collection Period (in days)? (Use draft Revenue of $4,000,000 and a 365-day year. Round to the nearest whole day).

    Answer options:

    A.

    41 days

    B.

    74 days

    C.

    38 days

    D.

    45 days

    How to approach this question

    Formula: (Trade Receivables / Revenue) * 365.

    Full Answer

    A.41 days✓ Correct
    Receivables Collection Period = (Trade Receivables / Revenue) * 365. Days = ($450,000 / $4,000,000) * 365 = 41.0625 days. Rounded to the nearest whole day = 41 days.

    Common mistakes

    Using Cost of Sales instead of Revenue as the denominator.
