b. 22.38

Explanation:

The credit period to pay for merchandise is 45 days, sales for last year = $325,000, therefore sales/day (daily sales) = $325,000/365 = $890.41

Year-end receivables = $60,000

Company DSO = Year-end receivables/ daily sales = $60000/$890.41 = 67.38

The difference between the Company DSO and credit period determines if the payment is early or late. A positive answer indicates late payments, while a negative answer indicates early payments.
