From the Paper:
"The days'-sales-in-receivables ratio measures the average number of days it takes one economic agent to recuperate its receivables from its customers; otherwise put, it measures the number of days it takes for the organizational customers to pay their debts to the entity. Changes in the days'-sales-in-receivables ratio do not necessarily generate strictly positive or strictly negative outcomes."Given that throughout the duration of one fiscal year, Sony Corp.'s days'-sales-in-receivables ratio increased from 36 to 43 raises the necessity to understand this growth from several perspectives. First of all, it is necessary to assess it in terms of the expected ratio (auditors generally estimate and then calculate). Secondly, it is important to analyze the year's ratio in light of the ratio adherent to the previous year. Finally, it is also imperative to assess the company's days'-sales-in-receivables ratio with the average ratio within the industry."
