donde

Formula to calculate Accounts receivable turnover ratio:
Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio = annual credit sales / average accounts receivable

Accounts Receivable turnover ratio definition and explanation:
This is the ratio of the number of times that accounts receivable amount is collected throughout the year.
http://www.bizwiz.ca/accounts_receivable_turnover_ratio.html

La última razón indica el número de veces que rota la cartera en un año, mas no cuantos días tarda en promedio en recaudarla.

También se le conoce como debtor days.
Debtor days. A measure of how much credit is being given and how long the company waits for its cash. Crudelymeasured by dividing the amount of creditors [as above] by annual salesand multiplying by 365. As with creditor days this measure does not work well in companies with erratic sales patterns. More accurately measured by an age analysis of the debtors.
