SNC is considering evaluating the payment profile of its customer base, especially focusing on customers who are chronically del

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

I would decline the proposal to drop Super Sports Centers.

Explanation:

In order to be able to accept or decline dropping SSC as a customer we must first calculate the cost of being paid after 200 days.

If you analyze it from an accounting point of view, dropping SSC will decrease your operating profits by $130,000 and that might result in your firm not being able to make a profit anymore.

In my opinion, the cost analysis is not complete because in order to calculate EBIT your are simply subtracting COGS from revenue (which is correct but incomplete). When you make important business decisions, you must determine which is the least of evils. Is reducing your DSO so important that you will risk going bankrupt? How much does financing SSC costs? Since SCC takes so long to pay, you should probably record the present value of the sale (similar to a non-interest bearing note).

You must also remember that if your total sales decrease by 20%, your COGS will increase since fixed costs per unit will increase. Probably the best way to understand this is to analyze the situation like a special order sale. SNC should probably calculate their manufacturing (or retailing) costs without SSC and that way they will be able to determine the real advantage or disadvantage of having SSC as a client.

Various financial data for Year 1 and Year 2 follow. Calculate the total productivity measure and the partial productivity measu

Ber [7]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

With regards to the above, the formula for total productivity measure is

= Output Sales( Total output) / Total Input

Total productivity measurement for Last year.

Output sales = $200,000

Total input = Input labor + Raw materials + Energy + Capital + others

= $30,000 + $35,000 + $5,000 + $50,000 + $2,000

= $122,000

Therefore, total productivity measure

= $200,000/$122,000

= 1.64

Total productivity measurement for this year

Output sales= $220,000

Total input = Input labor + raw materials + energy + capital + others

= $40,000 + $45,000 + $6,000 + $50,000 + $3,000

= $144,000

Therefore, total productivity measure

= $220,000/$144,000

= 1.53

Partial productivity for last year

Output sales = $200,000

Input = Input labor + raw materials + capital

= $30,000 + $35,000 + $50,000

= $115,000

Partial productivity measure = $200,000/$115,000

= 1.74

Partial productivity measure for this year

Output sales = $220,000

Input = Input labor + raw materials + capital

= $40,000 + $45,000 + $50,000

= $135,000

Therefore, partial productivity measurement for last year

= $220,000/$135,000

= 1.63

The above measures indicates that there is a reduction in total productivity measures from last year to this year. Same applies to partial productivity measures for both years.

Use the cost and revenue data to answer the questions. Quantity Price Total revenue Total cost 10 90 900 675 15 80 1200 825 20 7

azamat

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Marginal revenue is the revenue earned by selling an additional unit of output. Marginal Revenue for fifteenth unit of output is calculated as below.

Marginal Revenue= $\frac{ATR}{AQ}$ = $\frac{1200 - 900}{15 -10} = 60$

Marginal Cost is the additional cost incurred on producing additional unit of output. Marginal Cost for fifteenth unit is calculated as below.

Marginal Cost= $\frac{ATC}{ AQ} =\frac{825-675}{15-10} =30$

The marginal revenue when the quantity is 25 is

The marginal Cost when the quantity is 15 is

The marginal profit of a monopoly is 0 when the marginal profit is equal to the marginal cost. The monopoly produces at an output where the marginal profit is equal to zero.

Thus, the output produced by the monopoly is

The corresponding price set is at $70.

120 units

A perfectly competitive market produces an output where the marginal cost is equal to

the average revenue. Thus a competitive firm produces

The corresponding price is set at $50.

130 units)

The monopoly price $70 is higher than the competitive firm's price $50.

Hence, the correct option is

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for Product XCX are as follows:

9966 [12]

Answer:

Cost of merchandise sold = $483 , Closing stock = $227

Explanation:

Perpetual inventory system includes updates done, when sale or purchase transaction happens

Opening Stock = 26 units (price 15). Value = 26 x 15 = 390

Sale = 13 units, price 15. So, sales cost value = 13 x 15 = 195

Purchase = 20 units (price 16). Value = 20 x 16 = 320

Sale = 18 units, price 16. So, sales cost value = 18 x 16 = 288

Total sales cost value, or cost of merchandise sold = 195 + 288 = 483

Closing stock = Opening stock + purchase - sales cost

= 390 + 320 - 483

= $227
