From the following information calculate Debtors turnover ratio (DTR) and Average collection period (ACP).
Total Sales Rs.3,80,000, Cash sales Rs. 2,40,000, Opening Debtors Rs. 12,000, Closing Debtors Rs. 16,800. Opening balance of Bills receivable Rs. 9,600 and Closing balance of Bills receivable Rs.14,400.
3. Classification of Accounting Ratio
Types of ratios are given below:
1. Liquidity Ratios
2. Leverage Ratio
3. Turnover Ratio
4. Profitability Ratio
4. Turnover Ratios or Activity Ratios or Performance Ratios
Turnover ratios are used to determine how efficiently the financial assets and
liabilities of an organization have been used for the purpose of generating revenues.
These ratios measure the operating efficiency of an enterprise.
The types of Turnover ratios are: –
1. Inventory Turnover Ratio or Stock Turnover Ratio.
2. Debtors Turnover Ratio.
3. Creditors Turnover Ratio.
4. Cash Turnover Ratio.
5. Working Capital Turnover Ratio.
6. Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio.
7. Capital Turnover Ratio or Sales to Net Worth Ratio.
5. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO
The Debtors Turnover Ratio also called as Receivables Turnover Ratio or Debtors
velocity shows how quickly the credit sales are converted into the cash. This ratio
measures the efficiency of a firm in managing and collecting the credit issued to the
customers.
It is calculated by the following formula:
De𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨 =
𝐍𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬
𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬
6. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO
Net Credit Sales = Total Sales – Cash Sales – Sales Returns
Calculation of Average Debtors :
𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 =
𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 + 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬
𝟐
Interpretation:
Standard credit period is 30 days
If the credit period is more than 30 days it indicates that the concern is not
efficient.
If the credit period is less than 30 days it indicates that the concern is efficient.
7. DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO
Calculation of Average Debtors (if B/R is given):
𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 =
𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 + 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁/𝐑 + 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 + 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁/𝑹
𝟐
8. AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD
The Average Collection Period, also called as Debt Collection Period, shows how
much time business takes to realize the credit sales. Simply, how long will it take to
recover payments from the debtors against the credit sales?
It is calculated by dividing the number of months or days or weeks by the debtors
turnover ratio.
A𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 =
𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬

11. Section B 19:
From the following information calculate Debtors turnover ratio (DTR) and Average
collection period (ACP).
Total Sales Rs.3,80,000, Cash sales Rs. 2,40,000, Opening Debtors Rs. 12,000,
Closing Debtors Rs. 16,800. Opening balance of Bills receivable Rs. 9,600 and
Closing balance of Bills receivable Rs.14,400.
Solution :
Net Credit Sales = Total Sales – Cash Sales – Sales Returns
Net Credit Sales = 3,80,000 – 2,40,000 – Nil
Net Credit Sales = 1,44,000
14. Section B 21:
From the following information calculate Debtors turnover ratio (DTR) and Average
collection period (ACP).

Opening Debtors & B/R Rs. 2,25,000, Closing Debtors & B/R Rs. 1,75,000.
Solution :
Net Credit Sales = Total Sales – Cash Sales –Returns Inwards
Net Credit Sales = 20,00,000 – 3,00,000 – 1,00,000
Net Credit Sales = 16,00,000
17. Section B 22:
From the following information calculate Debtors turnover ratio (DTR) and Average
collection period (ACP).

Debtors on 31-12-2017 Rs. 1,00,000, B/R on 31-12-2017 Rs. 60,000.
Solution 2:
Net Credit Sales = Total Sales – Cash Sales – Sales Returns
Net Credit Sales = 14,00,000 – 4,00,000 – 50,000
Net Credit Sales = 9,50,000
