hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of Wallstreetmojo
[14]
friends today we are going to learn one of the component of the ratio analysis
[18]
that is the accounts receivable turnover ratio which every entrepreneur is always
[24]
concerned about that how the turnover of account receivable is happening how what
[30]
is the speed I mean what is a timeframe so that's what they are always looking
[34]
for let's understand the Formula the receivables turnover ratio formula is
[38]
something like this the net credit sales absolutely you are analyzing that right
[42]
divided by the average accounts receivable so from the net credit sales
[47]
what is the average account receivable that is standing so let's understand
[54]
what exactly are we talking about here now account receivable turnover is
[58]
basically another name of the turnover ratio
[65]
now in this ratio we will consider the credit sales and the accounts receivable
[73]
that's what we just saw now as you know when a firm sells its goods on credit
[78]
basis it takes a decent time to get paid so the amount that the firm would
[83]
receive due to the credit sells in near future is called accounts receivable
[87]
right now this ratio is a measure that the that computes the proportion of how much
[92]
the net credit sales a firm a firm has and how much average account receivable
[100]
firm is dealing with now let's have a look at the formula the receivables
[105]
turnover ratio RTO is equal to your net credit sales divided by your average
[114]
accounts receivable right so let's understand with the with the help of an
[120]
example so that you may have a clear idea what we are trying to compute let's
[127]
say there's a company called Gigs Inc. and they have the following data like
[132]
net credit sales the net credit sales data let's say is $5 lakh they
[139]
have some accounts receivable data as $40,000 and they have this is basically
[147]
the opening data
[152]
and we have account receivable closing CLG so that data is 60,000 now find out
[161]
the account receivable formula over here now in this above example we'll have all
[166]
the information available first we will find out the average account receivable
[171]
so the average account receivable is going to be your opening so I'll put
[177]
this in a bracket we'll have the opening plus we'll add the closing and then
[182]
we'll divide by two which will give us $50,000 so by using the formula of
[187]
account receivable turnover we'll get something like this
[189]
the AR turnover ratio is equal to your net credit sales right divided by the
[198]
average account receivables so let's try and put the numbers net credit sales is
[205]
your 5 lakh divided by 50,000 which will give us 10 times so if we compare
[211]
the ratio with other company under the similar industry we'll be able to
[215]
interpret whether this number is efficient or not so this is your ARTO
[219]
that is your account receivable turnover issue now let's try and understand a
[223]
real-life example this was just a crude example where you can exactly
[227]
understand how the formula operates but how about we take a a real-life example
[232]
of a company Colgate let's calculate the account receivable turn off all Colgate
[238]
and you know we'll hear will be having few assumption that all the sales will
[243]
be or on credit basis okay for example took the average or will take the
[249]
average receivables at 2014 and 2015 data from this particular case the
[255]
receivables turnover ratio or just just check out the picture the sales divided by
[258]
the average receivables data okay and and over here as shown in the image took
[262]
the average receivables we took the average receivable of 2014 and 2015 this
[267]
is the cash and cash equivalents and for the sales data right so will be having
[273]
couple of things or on over here on an average the Colgate's account
[276]
receivable turnover ratio has been around 10x and the higher receivable
[280]
turnover ratio implies that the higher frequency of converting the receivables
[284]
into cash which is of good thing it's absolutely a good thing because if
[288]
you are able to convert your receivables into cash quickly that means you have a
[291]
high liquidity and that's that's good for the company that's good for the
[295]
pocket of the company right now this is the receivable turnover data of Colgate
[301]
as you can see from December 8 it has just moved up 9.62 10.19x
[306]
then it has move down move down to 10.22 but again
[310]
it has taken a rise and it's rising and it's rising so that's a good thing now
[315]
we note that you know the PNG receivables turnover ratio is is
[320]
slightly higher than Colgate okay and you know this is basically you know
[326]
comparison of the receivable comparison of the receivable turnover of Colgate
[330]
versus the PNG data and you Neely was receivable turnover ratio is close
[335]
enough to with the Colgate numbers right so now let's get back to our explanation
[341]
on the account receivable turnover formula now in the above ratio we have
[345]
two components the first component is the net the net credit sales and we need
[352]
to keep in mind that here we cannot take the total net credit sales we need to
[356]
separate the cash sales and the credit sales and that we need to deduct any
[362]
sales return remember this thing very sure that you know you did need to
[366]
deduct any sales at unrelated to the credit sales from the credit sales so
[370]
you could so your sales is going to be your credit sales minus any sales return
[377]
then and then you will get a right answer the second component is the
[380]
average this is your first component okay your your average accounts
[387]
receivable right average accounts receivable so to find out the average
[392]
account receivable we need to consider two elements again the opening account
[397]
receivable and the closing to find out the average of the 2 now what is the
[402]
use what is exactly the significance the use of the account receivable formula
[407]
see account receivable turnover is basically an efficiency ratio and it it
[413]
is used to see how many times the account receivable have been seen
[418]
collected during the fiscal year right now the third thing
[424]
the higher the account receivable turnover ratio is healthy as we have
[431]
already discussed okay that's a healthy for company and it denotes that the time
[436]
interval between the credit sales and the receipt of the cash okay is low and
[442]
the math that and that means that the form is quite efficient in collecting
[445]
the account receivable on the other hand a low a lower accounts receivable
[454]
turnover ratio is not good or enough for the company it indicates of the time
[458]
interval between the credit sales and the receipt of the money is higher and
[462]
as a result there is always a risk of not receiving the money that's called
[468]
the bad debts right and when an investor looks at the account receivable turnover
[474]
he or she needs to know how efficient okay how efficient the firm is in
[481]
connecting the due amount if there is an a risk in dealing or noticing the
[484]
payment it may directly affect the cash from the company now this is your
[489]
account receivable turnover calculator if you put numbers over here let's say
[492]
your net credit sales is is 1 million okay and your average accounts
[500]
receivable which are standing in your balance sheet is 5 lakh right so it's
[504]
going to be half so you mean you are saying that you know my net credit
[508]
sales are 1 million but the amount outstanding that I have to recover from
[514]
the debtors is only $5 lakh so what's going to be a receivable turnover
[519]
ratio two times right so that's a good that's a bad number you can say no you
[525]
are only able to convert your net credit sales only two times into cash
[530]
now as this number is going to increase let's say we are going to make it six lakh
[534]
your data will go down that means your receivable turnover ratio will go
[539]
down so what interpretation we can make as the account receivable goes down
[543]
keeping the net credit sales as same your receivable turnover goes down and
[548]
that means it's not good but as this amount decreases it will automatically
[552]
increase and if we put 1 lakh tall over here we'll get 10x as the number so
[558]
put down your own numbers and try and make an interpretation of the same thank
[561]
you everyone for joining
