Answer: The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 73 days.
Explanation:
Given that,
Accounts Receivable at the beginning of the year = $390,000
Accounts Receivable at the end of the year = $410,000
Net credit sales during the year = $2,000,000
Average collection period of the receivables in terms of days:
Average accounts receivables = 
= 4,00,000
Net credit sales = 
= 5
∴ Accounts receivable days = 
= 73 days
The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 73 days.
Answer: Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) = $ 484625
Explanation:
The question is incomplete the high and low methods requires us to use high and low level of activity together with the corresponding total costs at each level to determine the variable cost per unit. we will provide assumed total costs and nursing hours in order to show how high and low method is used to predict total costs for the next period.
Assume the following were total costs and corresponding nursing hours for the previous 3 months
Total cost Hours
$560000 30000 hours
$400000 220000 hours
$225000 10000 hours
calculating Variable cost using high and low method
Variable cost per unit = (high cost - low cost)/high hour - low hours)
Variable Cost Per unit = (840000 - 225000)/ (30000 - 10000) = 16.75
Variable cost per unit = $ 16.75
Fixed costs = 560000 - (28000 x 16.75) = 560000 - 469000
Fixed costs = $91000
Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) =Total Fixed cost + Total Variable costs
Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) = $91000 + (23500 x $16.75)
Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) == $91000 + $393625
Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) = $ 484625
Answer:
e. All of these choices are correct.
Explanation:
Note:
Statement a. about production budget is correct as the production budget only estimates number of units to be produced, in quantity and not in dollars and therefore is not converted into dollars.
Statement b. about sales budget is also correct as it shows the quantity in units and also in value.
Statement c. about overhead budget is also correct as the budget segregates variable and fixed overheads properly.
Statement d. about labor budget is correct, as in this budget an average rate is used for calculating the expenses.
Therefore all of the above is correct.
Answer:
Explanation:
In the former case that is investment in security that pays interest of 8% per year for the next 2 years , there is provision of fixed interest rate . That means one can be assured of interest rate of 8 % for two years but he can not get benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate if it rises above 8 % after one year .
In case of investment in security that matures in 1 year but pays only 6% interest , one can take the benefit of market fluctuation if interest rate rises above 8 % . So if there is likelihood that interest rate can rise above 8 % in future , one should invest in 6% security for one year and reinvest it after one year , in the same security or in other security which fetches higher rate of interest .
Apart from that , if there is a contingent liability of paying after one year , one can not go in for 2 year security as it will have to break prematurely , that will result in loss of interest .
So due to situation described above, one should prefer investment in one year security .
