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

inquent in paying invoices. Super Sports Centers-a national, mall-based, upscale fitness network and a key SNC customer (accounting for 20% of SNC's overall sales)-routinely takes almost 200 days to pay its invoices. That far exceeds the 90-day average collection period for SNC's other customers. If SNC drops Super Sports Centers from its customer base, sales will decrease by $2 million. However, the cash-flow measure of days sales outstanding (DSO) will quickly improve. What would you like to do about this opportunity?

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.

horrorfan [7]

Answer: 3.59%

Explanation:

Real GDP per capita is the Real GDP divided by the population of the country.

Real GDP per Capita 2018

= 1,150,000,000/ 10,080,000

= 114.0873

= $114.0873

Real GDP per Capita 2019

= 1,430,000,000/ 12,100,000

= $118.1818

Percentage Change

= \frac{118.1818 - 114.0873}{114.0873}

= 3.59%

Newton Inc. uses a calendar year for financial reporting. The company is authorized to issue 9,000,000 shares of $10 par common
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

Formula:

Shares is calculated by multiplying common stock by duration (in years)

1.

Given

Number of common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015 = 2,000,000

Shares issued as a result of a 10% stock dividend on September 30, 2016 = 200,000

Calculating the weighted average number of common stocks:

Jan 1 2016 to Sept 30,2016:

First, note that there are 9 months between these two dates

So, the number of shares is calculated as: Common Shares * Duration (in years)

Number of Shares = 2,000,000 * 9/12

Number of Shares = 1,500,000

Jan 1 2016 to Sept 30,2016 - Adjusted

Given that there is a share issued as a result of 10% Stock dividend

Number of shares is calculated as 1,500,000 + the additional 10%

Number of Shares = 1,5000,000 + 10% * 1,500,000

Number of Shares = 1,500,000 + 150,000

Number of Shares = 1,650,000

Oct 1, 2016 to Dec 31, 2016

There are 3 months between these two dates

Common Shares between these dates = 2,000,000 + 200,000 --; This is gotten from outstanding shares of December 31, 2016 (2,000,000) and shares issued as a result of 10% Stock dividend (200,000)

Duration = 3/12 --- (by converting month to years)

So, Number of Shares = Common Shares * Duration

Number of Shares = 2,200,000 * 3/12

Number of Shares = 550,000

Total = 1,650,000 + 550,000

Total = 2,200,000 Shares

2.

Jan 1, 2017 to Mar 31, 2017

We'll still make use of the formula used in (1) above

Common Stocks * Duration (in years)

Between these dates, there are three months and common stock =2,200,000 --- as calculated in (1) above

So, Number of shares = 2,200,000*3/12 = 550,000

March 1,2017 to Dec31,2017

Given

Number of common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 = 4,200,000

Here, Common stocks = 4,200,000

Duration = 9/12

Number of Shares = 4,200,000*9/12 = 3,150,000

Total Number of Shares = 550,000 + 3*150,000 = 3,700,000

3.

Given

Weighted number of shares for 2017 = 3,700,000 --- calculated in (3) above

Weighted average number of shares = 2 * Weighted number of shares for 2017

Weighted average number of shares = 2 * 3,700,000

Weighted average number of shares = 7,400,000

4.

Jan 1, 2017 to Mar 31,2017.

Duration between these dates = 3/12 years

Number of common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 = 4,200,000

Number of Shares = 4200,000*3/12 = 1,050,000

April 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017

Duration = 9/12 years

Common Stocks = 4,200,000 * 2

Number of Shares = 4200,000*2*9/12 = 6,300,000

Total = 1,050,000 + 6,300,000 = 7,350,000
