past due or outstanding. A company uses this for estimating how much of its accounts receivable are expected

each has been outstanding, such as 30, 60, or more days outstanding.

days prior to collection (360/10 days). Given that Waltz's terms are 2/10, n/30, one would expect customers to
pay within 30 days. Customers should pay within ten days to obtain the discount of 2%. Waltz needs to make
more efforts to collect its receivables given its current credit terms.
