a. What is Fargo’s average collection period? (Assume 360 days per year throughout this problem.)

b. What is the firm’s current receivables balance?

c. What would be the firm’s new receivables balance if a newly proposed electronic claims system resulted in collecting from third-party payers in 45 and 75 days, instead of in 60 and 90 days?
