Answer Choices:
A. the same under both methods
B. higher under the current rate method by 0.36x
C. lower under the current rate method by 0.30x
Explanation
The receivables turnover ratio is calculated as (sales / receivables). Under the both the
current rate and temporal methods, sales are translated at the average rate, while
receivables are translated at the current rate. Since both the sales and receivables
components are translated at the same rate, there will be no difference in the ratios
between the two methods.
