Answer:

C) using more liberal credit terms to increase sales

Explanation:

An accounts receivable turnover ratio of 12 means that it takes Marion approximately 30 days to collect its accounts receivables.

If its competitors have an accounts receivable turnover ratio of 8, it means that it takes them approximately 45 days to collect their accounts receivables.

If Marion wants to operate in a similar way to its competition, they should loosen up their credit terms and extend them a few more days in order to attract a larger number of customers. Depending on what Marion sells, longer credit terms might be a good idea.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

  • <u>$70,264.03</u>

Explanation:

You need to calculate the value of 8 × 12 = 96 different cash flows.

There is not a formula to calculate that, because the<em> $6 dollar increase</em> does not represent growing with a constant rate.

The monthly payments are:

Month            payment ($)

0 (today)             300

1                           306

2                          312

3                          318

n                          306 + 6 (n-1)

96 (last)               876

Then you must create a spreadsheet with these features:

  • Five columns
  • First column is the month, and starts with month 0 (today)
  • Second column is the initial balance, the first balance is 0
  • Third column is the interest: it is calculated as the monthly interest by the initial balance. The monthly interest is 6%/12 = 0.06/12 = 0.005
  • Fourth column is the amount deposited: for month zero it is $300, and every month you add $6.
  • Fith column is the final balance: it is the sum of the initial balance (second column) + interest (third column) + deposit (fourth colum)
  • 96 rows: 8 years × 12months/year = 96 months.
  • The initial balance of each row is equal to the final balance of the previous row.

Here a sample of the first three rows:

Month  Initial balance  Interest                    Deposit     Final balance

 0                  0                   0                          300          300

 1                 300             300×0.005 = 1.5    306          607.5

 2                607.5          607.5×0.005           312          922.54

When you do it up to the row 96, the final balance is <em>the balance in the acccount at the end of the eight years</em>.

The last row of your spreadsheet will show:

96           69,042.81      345.21                    876         70,264.03

Thus, <em>the balance at the end of eight years will be $70,264.03</em>

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Over applied Overhead =$ 42,500

Explanation:

Actual Overhead $325,000

Estimated Overhead $350,000

Over applied overhead is when the Predetermined overhead is more than the actual overhead . Under applied overhead is when the Predetermined overhead is less than the actual overhead .

Predetermined Overhead rate= Overhead / total direct labor hours

                              = 350,000/ 500,000 (100)= 70%

Applied Overhead = Predetermined Overhead rate( actual direct labor hours)

                               = 70 % (525,000) = $367,500

Applied Overhead $367,500

Less Actual Overhead $325,000

Over applied Overhead =$ 42,500

Information that is collected for the first time from original sources is called ________.
SpyIntel [72]
Information that is collected for the first time from original sources is called primary research.

Primary research is research you contact yourself. A few examples of ways to collect primary research are through surveys, focus groups and observations.  

Secondary research is information collected from other sources that once was primary research. Although they are complete opposite to get the most accurate research data it is best to use both primary research and secondary research in your market research.
