Answer:

The statement is: False.

Explanation:

A bundle of resources has three characteristics: valuable (the resource helps the company to pursue its objectives and is priceless for consumers), rare (limited competition), and inimitable (resource is not easy to reproduce by the firm's closest competitors or imitating it is expensive).

Being imitable is the opposite of what a bundle of resources should be.

Answer:

Operating cycle = 59.29 days

Cash cycle = 26.1115 days

Explanation:

From the information given:

$\text{Beginning Inventory \$16,284} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts receivable 11,219} \\ \\ \text{Beginning Accounts payable 13,960} \\ \\ \text{Ending Inventory $19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\$

$\text{Ending Inventory \$19,108} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts receivable 13,973} \\ \\ \text{Ending Accounts payable 16,676} \\ \\ \text{Net sales \$219,320} \\ \\ \text{Cost of goods sold 168,420} \\ \\$

To start with:

$\text{Average inventory = } \dfrac{Beginning \ value +Ending \ value}{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 16,284 + 19,108} {2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{35,392}{ 2} \\ \\ = \$17,696$

$\text{Average receivable }=\dfrac{ Beginning value + Ending value }{ 2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 11,219 + 13,973 }{2} \\ \\ =\dfrac{ 25,192 }{ 2} \\ \\= \$12,596 \\ \\$

$\text{Average payable }= \dfrac{Beginning \ value + Ending\ value}{ 2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{13,960 + 16,676 }{2} \\ \\= \dfrac{30,636}{2} \\ \\ = \$15,313$

$\text{Days of inventory outstanding} = \dfrac{Average \ inventory }{ Cost \ of \ goods \ sold } \times 365 \\ \\ \dfrac{= 17,686}{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.105\times 365 \\ \\= 38.329 \ days$

$\text{Days \ of \ receivable \ outstanding }= \dfrac{Average \ receivable }{ sales }\times 365 \\ \\ \dfrac{= 12,596 }{ 219,320} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0574 \times 365 \\ \\= 20.951 \ days$

$\text{Days of payable outstanding} = \dfrac{Average payable}{cost of goods sold} \times 365 \\ \\ = \dfrac{15,313 }{ 168,420} \times 365 \\ \\ = 0.0909 \times 365 \\ \\= 33.1785 days$
