Question : Read the following statements: Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose one of the correct alternatives given below:
Assertion (A): Higher Trade Receivable Turnover means speedy collections from trade receivable.
Reason (R): Trade Receivable Turnover Ratio indicates the number of times the receivables are turned over and converted into cash in an accounting period.
Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Option 2: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is False
Option 4: Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true
Correct Answer: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Solution : The efficiency with which a business is able to collect on its receivables or the credit it gives to clients is measured by the receivables turnover ratio. The ratio also counts the number of times a company's receivables are turned into cash over a specific time period.
Hence the correct answer is option 1.
