Explanation / Answer
Net credit sales = Sales - Sales retuns and allowances
3,317,380 - 51,380 = 3,266,000
Average Accounts Receivable = (Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Accounts Receivable) / 2
= (971,620 + 1,315,140) / 2
= 1,143,380
Accounts Receivable turnover = Net credit sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= 3,266,000 / 1,143,380
= 2.86 times.
