Hi all

Now iknow i may be being very blonde but i am wondering if someone can help me

Now my boss keeps saying our debtor days is going up i.e its summot like 92 days at the moment and he keeps saying that must be wrong as we have had a lot of cash received in of debtors.

Now i understood debtor days to be aged debt devided by turnover is that correct? :?

Our aged debt has risen by £175k this month compared to last and just wondered if anyone knows a quick formula

many thanks in advance
Kel

    Hi

    Debtor days is usually

    Debtors * 365
    Sales

    Beware that sales should only be credit sales, and that sales should include VAT, as the debtors figure will.

    If you have a mix of cash sales and credit sales the cash sales are turned into cash immediately so take:
    trade debtors x 365 days
    credit sales turnover

    which is the same as lincs has said
