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.

There are multiple reasons that a customer would buy an item or service, so I assume media planners would need to use psychographic classifications to know who their target audience is and what they would like. How heavily planners rely on these classsifications probably effects the response they received from the audience.</span>

Breakeven point is defined as the level of sales where total cost is equal to total revenue.

The formula is given as

Breakeven= Fixed cost ÷ (Sales revenue -Variable cost)

Note the Sales revenue less variable cost is the contributing margin.

Breakeven= Fixed cost ÷ Contributing margin

To reduce breakeven we must either reduce the numerator or increase the denominator.

In this case an increase in contributing margin will result in a decrease in breakeven amount of the company.
