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.

Jasper Company provided the following information for last year:
sdas [7]

Answer:                        

Explanation:

1.                                     Jasper Company

                                      Income Statement

                                                                                         

            Sales (280000 x $12)                                  $3360000

            <u>Less: Cost of goods sold</u>

            Add: Direct Material                   $180000

            Add: Direct Labor                       $505000

            Add: Manufacturing Overhead  <u>$110000</u>

            Cost of goods sold                                      <u>($795000)</u>

            Gross Profit                                                  $ 2565000

           <u>Less: Expenses</u>

           Selling expense                           $437000

           Administrative expense              <u>$854000</u>

          Total expenses                                               <u>($1291000)</u>

          Net income                                                     <u> $1274000</u>

Percentage of sales for each line item

Sales = 100%

Cost of goods sold: \frac{795000}{3360000} x 100= 23.7%

Selling expense : \frac{437000}{3360000} x 100 = 13%

Administrative expense: \frac{854000}{3360000} x 100 = 25.4 %

2. According to the income statement in requirement 1, the manager can control cost by outsourcing the product if it is cheaper to get it from a third party in order to cut/control cost of goods sold.

Manager can also try controlling the administrative expenses as they are taking a bigger proportion than any other cost/ expense.

What is a question that should be asked about accounts payable when forecasting?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

In forecasting accounts payable, one of the relevant questions is:

What is the cash conversion cycle?

Explanation:

The variables used in computing the cash conversion cycle include accounts receivable days, inventory turnover days, and accounts payable days.  Specifically, cash conversion cycle (CCC) is the period in days that it takes the firm to convert cash into inventory, then into sales, and finally back into cash.  To gain a good understanding of accounts payable, one should always consider the major inclusive metric.

The Card Shoppe needs to maintain 18 percent of its sales in net working capital. Currently, the store is considering a four-yea
mylen [45]

Answer:

$56,520

Explanation:

As per given data

Year     Sales          Working Capital 18%

   0      $279,000   ($50,220)

   1       $308,000   ($5,220)

   2      $314,000    ($1,080)

   3      $314,000    $0

   4      $314,000   $56,520

As the sales value of year 2, 3 and 4 are same, as capital is adjusted in year 2 and company has equal working capital required in year 3, years 4 is the last year of the project so, working capital will be recovered from the project

Net Working capital will be reimbursed at the end of the project. The accumulated value of investment in working capital will be recorded as cash inflow in the analysis.

The Baldwin company will sell 100 units (x1000) of capacity from their Baker product line. Each unit of capacity is worth $6 plu
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: $2,210,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the Baldwin company will sell 100 units (x1000) of capacity from their Baker product line and that each unit of capacity is worth $6 plus $4 per automation rating.

We are further told that the Baldwin company will sell the capacity for 35% off. The amount they'll receive when the capacity is sold will be:

The cost per unit will be

= 6 + (4 × 7)

= 34

The worth of the capacity will now be:

= 100000 × 34

= 3,400,000

The amount received will be:

= 3400000 × (1-35%)

= 3400000 × 0.65

= $2,210,000

Suppose the revenue from producing​ (and selling) x units of a product is given by Upper R (x )equals 10 x minus . 04 x squared
Volgvan

Answer:

marginal revenue is -6

and production levels 200, 50  

Explanation:

given data

R(x) = 10 x - 0.04 x²  

solution

we have given

R(x) = 10 x - 0.04 x²  

so here R'(x)  is

R'(x) = 10(1) - 0.4 (2x)  

R'(x) = 10 - 0.8 x ....................1

so here at x is 20 marginal revenue will be

R'(20) = 10 - 0.8(20)

R'(20) =  10 - 16

R'(20) = - 6

and

when revenue  is ​$400

R(x) = 400

400 = 10 x - 0.04 x²  

x= 200, 50
