ALei Industries has credit sales of $148 million a year. ALeis management reviewed its credit policy and decided that it wants to maintain an average collection period of 35 days.

What is the maximum level of accounts receivable that ALei can carry and have a 35-day average collection period? (round to one decimal place)

If ALei's current accounts receivable collection period is 55 days, how much would it have to reduce its level of accounts receivable in order to achieve its goal of 35 days?
