Because transit tends to be congested in this country, many people prefer to shop in their local neighborhoods. They tend to go

to stores several times a week to get what they need rather than making one big trip less frequently. Since the culture of this company is very network oriented, shoppers expect a trip to the store to involve significant interaction with store employees. Shoppers are also used to good deals and haggling for better prices. A U.S. store opens in this country and exhibits the following characteristics. Which of these characteristics will be problematic for the success of the store?
A) A few large flagship stores located in big cities
B) Product experts on the floor to answer customers' questions
C) Store locations easy to access via public transit
D) High-end pricing
E) Products available individually rather than in bulk

Answer: A few large flagship stores located in big cities; High-end pricing( Option A and D)

Explanation:

Because the people in this country usually shop close to their home, it would not be wise for a business to opt for few large flagship stores rather than a larger number of the smaller stores.

It would also be unwise for such business to sell mainly high-end products because the shoppers are used to good deals and haggling. Such company would be smart, to sell the products individually, because bulk purchases would make little sense for people that make frequent trips to the store.

Also, in a country with a congested transportation, an easy-to-access store locations will be important and having product experts on the floor who answers the questions of customers’ would appeal to network-oriented local culture.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is overextension.

Explanation:

In the context of language acquisition, it refers to the erroneous over-generalization in the use of a word; that is, to the error that consists in extending the application of words to entities or objects not included in the concept or category of reference, even if they share certain characteristics. For example, the word "dog" is used to correctly designate dogs; but it is also used in reference to any other animal with "four legs."

If the monetary authorities decide to increase the nominal money supply by 10% when the economy is at its full employment level
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

  • 10%
  • (will increase in the short run) but in the long run it will return to the potential output level.  

Explanation:

If the money supply is increased by 10%, the inflation rate will also increase by 10%.

In the short run the economy will be able to produce an output which is higher than the potential GDP, but once the inflation rate catches up, both the unemployment rate will increase and the real GDP will return to its potential output level.
