Consent to Assignment is a clause used in contractual agreements that requires one party to obtain the permission of the other party before transferring their rights and obligations under the contract to a third party.
Assignment of receivables would mean sale of the lease rentals, not the asset. In that case, the leased asset still remains the property of the assignor – that is, the assignor has retained the residual interest in the asset. However, it would be different if the lessor sells the asset that has been leased out.
Assignment in the context of a receivable means the transfer of rights related to it to another person or entity. For this purpose, an appropriate contract is usually concluded (although this is not a necessary condition).
Average accounts receivable is calculated as the sum of starting and ending receivables over a set period of time (generally monthly, quarterly or annually), divided by two.
If the assignment of the contract is done with the consent of the counterparty, that amounts to a novation – that is, partial re-writing of the terms of the original contract. benefit under a contract, then such receivables/benefit are not assignable, or not assignable without the consent of the counterparty.
The accounts receivable turnover ratio is a simple metric used to measure a business's effectiveness at collecting debt and extending credit. It is calculated by dividing net credit sales by average accounts receivable. The higher the ratio, the better the business manages customer credit.
For example, if A contracts with B to teach B guitar for $50, A can assign this contract to C. That is, this assignment is both: (1) an assignment of A's rights under the contract to the $50; and (2) a delegation of A's duty to teach guitar to C.
The AR Turnover Ratio is calculated by dividing net sales by average account receivables. Net sales is calculated as sales on credit - sales returns - sales allowances.
