Hi James,

I just realized I gave you the wrong definition for DSO's. I don't know what I was thinking.

DSO are calculated by:

1)Take the total sales for the quarter and dividing by the number of selling days in the quarter. That give you the average value of sales per day in the quarter.

2) Now take the receivables in the Q and divide by the amount you just calculated. That gives you the DSO.

The calculation is an attempt to normalize the receivables amount so you can compare it against quarters that have more or fewer selling days than the current quarter.
