问题如下:
If PZ reported an unusually sharp decline in accounts receivable in the current year, and an increase in long-term trade receivables. Compared with the previous years,what will be the impact on PZ financial ratio in the current year:
选项:
A.days sales outstanding will decrease.
B.days sales outstanding will increase.
C.days sales outstanding will unchanged.
解释:
A is correct.
考点: DSO
解析:
Because accounts receivable will be lower than reported in the past, PZ’s DSO [Accounts receivable/(Revenues/365)] will decrease.
当年的AR减少,AR turnover增加,DSO降低,选A。
DSO也叫应收账款周转天数,含义就是别人欠的大概欠多久能还。
定义式如下:Days of sales outstanding (DSO) =365 / receivables turnover
其中,Receivables turnover = annual revenue / AR题干说了 AR 减少,只考虑短期的AR,不考虑题干中增加的混淆项 long-term trade receivables,所以 DSO 减少。题干哪里说到了短期,这个公式默认得用短期?请把知识点体现短期的框架图发我看看
