Mc Cord corp ratios, Days sales uncollected

Question

Can anyone help me by explaining ratios? I am having trouble with my figures not

Answer 1

I've completed the Excel template you sent me and sent it back to you.

Answer 2

If the bottom number is higher than the lower number then you will have a decimal or percentage, e.g.,

10/2 = 5

10/5 = 2

10/20 = .50

Often with a ratio (or rate) you want a denominator higher than the nominator, so you have to establish which way you like the rate, e.g., 5 or .50
