    Solution

    The accounts receivable turnover ratio, also known as the debtor’s turnover ratio, is an efficiency ratio  that measures how efficiently a company is collecting revenue – and by extension, how efficiently it is using its assets. The accounts receivable turnover ratio measures the number of times over a given period that a company collects its average accounts receivable . The accounts receivable turnover in days shows the average number of days that it takes a customer to pay the company for sales on credit. As such, a higher ratio would mean its taken lesser days to collect from debtors.
