Geneva Co., Inc., an electronics and appliance chain, reported these figures in millions of dollars:

Requirements

1. Compute Geneva’s days’ sales in receivables or days’ sales outstanding (DSO) during 2019. (For this exercise, use “net sales” for “net credit sales” when calculating ratios.)

2. Is Geneva’s DSO long or short? Kurzwel Networks takes 39 days to collect its average level of receivables. Domarko Freight, the overnight shipper, takes 33 days. What causes Geneva’s collection period to be so different?
