The average collection period formula is: Average Collection Period = (Accounts Receivable / Credit Sales) * Days. Rearranging this formula to solve for Credit Sales gives us: Credit Sales = (Accounts Receivable * Days) / Average Collection Period. Plugging in the given values: Credit Sales = ($700,000 * 365) / 45 = $5,644,444.44 annually. To find daily credit sales, divide by 365: $5,644,444.44 / 365 = $15,460.12. The closest answer provided is A) $15,555.56, indicating a slight calculation or rounding difference in the question's formulation or my interpretation.
