Here Corrected Question would be Average collection period.
Solution:
Net Sales= Total Sales-Cash Sales Included-Sales Return
=100,000-20,000-7,000
=73,000
Average Collection Period= 365* (Average Accounts Receivables/Net Sales)
here Given Total debtors 9,000 & bills receivables 2,000
Average Receivables=9,000+2,000
=11,000
Now Average Collection Period= 365*(11,000/73,000)
= 55 Days
