9.32 times and 9.40 times

Explanation:

The computation of the account receivable ratio for both years are shown below:

For 2016

Accounts receivable turnover ratio  

= Credit sales ÷ average accounts receivable

where,  

Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts receivable + ending balance of Accounts receivable) ÷ 2

= ($34,800 + $41,400) ÷ 2

= $38,100

And, the net credit sale is $335,280

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $355,280 ÷ $38,100

= 9.32 times

For 2017

Accounts receivable turnover ratio  

= Credit sales ÷ average accounts receivable

where,  

Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts receivable + ending balance of Accounts receivable) ÷ 2

= ($41,400 + $44,800) ÷ 2

= $43,100

And, the net credit sale is $405,140

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $405,140 ÷ $43,100

= 9.40 times
