Aging of Accounts Receivable Method using Excel's SUM and DAYS Functions Xercise Cycles Company sells exercise equipment to gyms on account and has provided its accounts receivable balances that were uncollected at the year end. The Controller has asked you to prepare an Aging of Accounts Receivable Schedule and related adjusting journal entries. Use the information included in the Excel Simulation and the Excel functions described below to complete the task. . Cell Reference: Allows you to refer to data from another cell in the worksheet. From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell, =C6 was entered, the formula would output the result from cell C6, or 37,500 in this example. Basic Math functions: Allows you to use the basic math symbols to perform mathematical functions. You can use the following keys: + (plus sign to add), - (minus sign to subtract), * (asterisk sign to multiply), and / (forward slash to divide). From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell =C6+C7 was entered, the formula would add the values from those cells and output the result, or 66,100 in this example. If using the other math symbols the result would output an appropriate answer for its function. SUM function: Allows you to refer to multiple cells and adds all the values. You can add individual cell references or ranges to utilize this function. From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell"=SUM(C6,C7,C8) was entered, the formula would output the result of adding those three separate cells, or 68,100 in this example. Similarly, if in a blank cell =SUM(C6:C8) was entered, the formula would output the same result of adding those cells, except they are expressed as a range in the formula, and the result would be 68,100 in this example. DAYS function: Allows you to calculate the number of days between two dates. The syntax of the DAYS function is "=DAYS(end_date,start_date)" and should always return a positive value. It is important that the end_date is used for the furthest date into the future and the start_date is used for the date furthest into the past or earliest date in time being evaluated. The formula arguments should reference dates that are located in other cells to properly calculate the formula result. From the Excel Simulation below, if in a blank cell=DAYS(D10,09) was entered, the formula would output the result of calculating the number of days between those two dates, or 187 in this example. .
