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.

Suppose that the public holds 50% of the money supply in currency and the reserve requirement is 20%. Banks hold no excess reser
astra-53 [7]

Answer: $2,400; $2,400

Explanation:

If a deposit of $6,000 is made, the reserve requirement is 20% so the bank will have to reserve this amount of:

= 6,000 * 20%

= $1,200

The bank will be left with:

= 6,000 - 1,200

= $4,800

The bank lends all of this out.

The public holds 50% of the currency so they will keep:

= 50% * 4,800

= $2,400

The rest - which is $2,400 - will be deposited as checkable deposits.

Pierce Company issued 11% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $800,000 on January 1, 2021. The bonds sold for $739,816
sdas [7]

Answer:

unrealized gain from change in market value = $10,617

Explanation:

Bonds carrying value = $739,816

amortization of bond discount = ($739,816 x 6%) - ($800,000 x 5.5%) = $389

amortization of bond discount = ($740,205 x 6%) - ($800,000 x 5.5%) = $412

bond's carrying value = $740,205 + $412 = $740,617

unrealized gain = carrying value - market value = $740,617 - $730,000 = $10,617

How can taxes be used by the government to encourage or discourage the use of a
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Taxes can be used to increase the price of producing or selling something which discourages firms from engaging in that activity.
If the government wants to encourage a particular activity, they could subsidize firms who engage in it.

For example there are extra taxes on cigarettes because the government sees them as harmful, these extra taxes increase the price of ciggarettes.
