Average receivables
Average accounts receivable is the beginning balance plus ending balance divided by two. Use balances and sales from the same period.
Collection context
Higher turnover generally means receivables are collected more frequently, but interpretation depends on industry, customer mix, and payment terms.
Worked example
$500,000 net credit sales divided by average AR of $62,500 equals 8 turns. The implied collection period is 365 ÷ 8 = 45.625 days.

What does higher turnover usually indicate?
It generally indicates more frequent collection, though payment terms and industry context matter.
What if average AR is zero?
Turnover and collection period are not calculable because division by zero is not meaningful.
