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。Short term AR Decrease, long term AR increase, 难道不是代表当年相比往年,新增了更多需要长期才能收回的AR,新增了更少的短期能收回的AR,使得应收账款回收周期变长吗?对LT AR increase这句话应该怎么理解?
