应收账款周转率 Receivables Turnover Ratio

应收账款周转率是指在一定时期内(通常为一年)应收账款转化为现金的平均次数。它又叫收账比率，是用于衡量企业应收账款流动程度的指标，它是企业在一定时期内(通常为一年)赊销净额与应收账款平均余额的比率。

应收账款周转率是销售收入除以平均应收账款的比值，也就是年度内应收账款转为现金的平均次数，它说明应收账款流动的速度。用时间表示的周转速度是应收账款周转天数，也叫平均应收账款回收期或平均收现期，表示企业从取得应收账款的权利到收回款项、转换为现金所需要的时间，等于360除以应收账款周转率。销售收入为扣除折扣和折让后的销售净额；平均应收账款是指未扣除坏账准备的应收账款金额，是期初应收账款余额与期末应收账款的平均数。有人认为，销售净额应扣除现金销售部分,即使用赊销净额来计算，理论上更加完备，但是数据难以得到。

Accounts Receivables Turnover refers to how a business uses its assets. The receivables turnover ratio is an accounting method used to quantify how effectively a business extends credit and collects debts on that credit. To calculate the Accounts Receivable Turnover divide the net value of credit sales during a given period by the average accounts receivable during the same period. An average for your accounts receivable can be calculated by adding the value of the accounts receivable at the beginning and end of the accounting period and dividing it by two.

例句1

The receivables turnover ratio is an accounting measure used to quantify a company’s effectiveness in collecting its receivables or money owed by clients.

应收账款周转率是一种会计计量方法，用于量化公司收取应收账款或客户欠款的有效性。这一比率显示了一家公司对其提供给客户的信贷的使用和管理情况，以及短期债务的收回或支付速度。

例句2

For investors, it's important to compare the accounts receivable turnover of multiple companies within the same industry to get a sense of what's the normal or average turnover ratio for that sector. If one company has a much higher receivables turnover ratio than the other, it may prove to be a safer investment.

对于投资者来说，比较同一个行业内多家公司的应收账款周转率，以了解该行业的正常或平均周转率，这一点很重要。如果一家公司的应收账款周转率比另一家高得多，这可能是更安全的投资。

相关知识拓展：

一般来说，应收账款周转率越高，平均收账期越短，说明应收账款的收回越快。否则，企业的营运资金会过多地呆滞在应收账款上，影响正常的资金周转。存在一些影响该指标正确计算的因素：季节性经营的企业使用这个指标时不能反映实际情况；大量使用分期付款结算方式；大量地使用现金结算的销售；年末大量销售或年末销售大幅度下降。这些因素都会对计算结果产生较大的影响。财务报表的外部使用人可以将计算出的指标与该企业前期指标、与行业平均水平或其他类似企业的指标相比较，判断该指标的高低。但仅根据指标的高低分析不出上述各种原因。
