Generally speaking, a
business message expressing negative news (reader will react negatively) should
be organized indirectly. The message should be delivered among other
information and should not stand out. This is only appropriate if it is
practical to deliver the message in this way (immediate action is not
required). A more positive message should be prominent in the communication and
expressed in a more direct way, since it is assumed that the reader will react
positively.
Answer:
The cash balance on November 30 amounts to $155,700
Explanation:
Cash balance on November 30 = Beginning balance + Collection of cash from October sales + Collection of cash from November sales - Payments for October Purchases - Payments for November Purchases
where
Beginning balance is $13,700
Collection of cash from October sales = October Sales × % amount collected
= $240,000 × 70%
= $168,000
Collection of cash from November sales = November Sales × % amount collected
= $240,000 × 1.20 × 25%
= $72,000
Payments for October Purchases = October Purchases × % amount paid
= $70,000 × 65%
= $45,500
Payments for November Purchases = November Purchases × % amount paid
= $150,000 × 35%
= $52,500
Putting the values in the above formula
Cash balance on November 30 = $13,700 + $168,000 + $72,000 - $45,500 - $52,500
= $155,700

Different geographic or product markets often possess different challenges for producers to sell their product. This happen because different cultutres, climate, and social conditions tend to create different needs for the customers.
