Ans.	Total Sales = $9,100,000
	Credit sales = $9,100,000 * 71% =	$6,461,000
	Gross profit = Total sales * Gross profit margin
	$9,100,000 * 27% =	$2,457,000

	Cost of goods sold = Total sales - Gross profit
	$9,100,000 - $2,457,000 =	$6,643,000

Ans. A	Average collection period = Accounts recievable / Credit sales * Number of days in year
	$562,500 / $6,461,000 * 365
	31.78	days

Ans. B	Average collection period = Accounts recievable / Credit sales * Number of days in year
	15 = Accounts recievables / $6,461,000 * 365
	Accounts receivables = 15 * $6,461,000 / 365
	$265,520.55

Ans. C	Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Inventory
	9.6 = $6,643,000 / Inventory
	Inventory = $6,643,000 / 9.6
	$691,979.17
