I would like to know if I have correctly identified the correct dollar amounts from the attached financial statements for calculating Receivables Turnover ratio. One of the things I am not certain of is whether I should be working with both the Net Sales Revenues for Dec 31, 2009 and Dec 31, 2008, or with just the Dec 31 2009. If I am not pulling the correct figures, could you help me? This is not homework for submission but I am studying ratios and the financial statements for my final exam at the end of the course.
I've tried searching the internet for these but I have been unable to find information that discusses the ratio in connection with financial statements like the ones attached. One of the requirements in doing the ratios is also knowing exactly which figures to pull from the financial statements, and of course sometimes you may need to combine two or more figures.

For Receivables Turnover Ratio:
Receivables Turnover = Net credit sales / Accounts Receivables:
$33,000,000-$1,000,000/$32,120,000 = .99 or 1.00
or
$51,000,000-$1,000,000/$32,120,000= 1.556 or 1.56
Am I correct on either calculation?

See the attached file.

To calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio, we divide net credit sales by the amount of average accounts receivable. There is no way to calculate A/R turnover without knowing the beginning and ending balance for A/R. On the sheets you have attached, we see that A/R on 12-31-09 is $33,000,000. We also need the balance sheet for 12-31-2008 to determine the amount. Here is our 1st calculation after obtaining the information:

33,000,000 + AR on 12-31-08 = X
X / 2 = average A/R.

We add the two numbers together and then divide them by 2. This gives us the average amount of A/R. We then divide net sales (50,000,000) by the total average A/R. If we're working on 2008, we would add 2008 A/R from the balance sheet to 2007 AR from the balance sheet, divide by 2, and then ...
