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).
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.
The days sales in accounts receivable is a financial metric that measures the average number of days it takes for a company to collect payments from its customers after a sale has been made. It is calculated by dividing the total accounts receivable balance by the average daily sales.
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.
To calculate net accounts receivable, you need: total accounts receivable, allowance for doubtful accounts, and sales returns and allowances. Then, subtract the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances from the Total Account Receivables.
A business can calculate its trade receivables by summing up the amount that all its customers owe them. It is generally divided into two parts called debtors and bill receivables.
(average accounts receivable balance ÷ net credit sales ) x 365 = average collection period. You can also essentially reverse the formula to get the same result: 365 ÷ (net credit sales ÷ average accounts receivable balance) = average collection period.
The Accounts receivable turnover ratio is calculated by dividing net credit sales by the average accounts receivable. Net sales is everything left over after returns, sales on credit, and sales allowances are subtracted.
The formula is fairly simple: AR Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivable. For more context, net credit sales are those made on credit minus any returns or allowances.
