Answer:

General Mills' accounts receivable turnover: 13.34 times

General Mills' average collection period for accounts receivable in days: 27.36 days

Explanation:

The accounts receivable turnover is an efficiency ratio that measures how many times a company can collect its receivables or money owed by clients during the year.

Accounts receivable turnover is calculated by following formula:

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales /Average Accounts Receivable

In there:

Average Accounts Receivable = (The beginning accounts receivable of the year balance + The ending accounts receivable of the year balance)/2

In General Mills, Inc.:

Average Accounts Receivable = ($912,000,000 + $953,000,000)/2 = $932,500,000

General Mills' accounts receivable turnover = $12,442,000,000/$932,500,000 = 13.34 times

General Mills' average collection period for accounts receivable in days = 365/Accounts receivable turnover = 365/13.34 = 27.36 days
