Answer:

1. Apple

Current year Days sales uncollected = Account receivables/Net sales * 365

= 15754 / 215639 * 365 = 27 days

= 16849 / 233715 * 365 = 26 days

Google

Current year Days sales uncollected = Account receivables/Net sales * 365

= 14137 / 90272 * 365 = 57 days

Prior years Days sales uncollected = Account receivables/Net sales * 365

= 11556 / 74989 * 365 = 56 days

2. Base on the computation above, Apple had more success collecting receivables.
