We do not do homework or study questions, however, we do point students in the right direction, and help when and if they run into road blocks. I have found a great primer on calculating Days' Sales (http://blog.accountingcoach.com/days-sales-accounts-receivable/). This site, Accounting Coach, also has a template to use in order to more easily calculate.
