Answer:

cost of debt 0.0748421 = 7.48%

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<em>MISSING INFORMATION:</em>

   concept                     //    Year 2     //     Year 1

Sales                                     7,620             7,450

Account Receivables             655                588

Answer:

Yes, there is. The days to collect increase by 4.16 to 29.77 from 26.61

Which is a bad sing as the company delays more to collect form their customers

Explanation:

Account Receivable turnover:

Average receivable:

(458 + 588 ) / 2  =  523

7,450 / 523 =   14.25

Days to collect: 365 / 14.25 = 25,61

Second Year:

Average receivable: (655 + 588) / 2 = 621.5

Turnover: 7,620 / 621.5 =  12.26

Days to collect: 365 / 12.26 = 29,77

29.77 - 25.61 = 4.16

Answer:

b. E-mail facilitates collaboration between people in remote locations; however, when collaboration requires the exchange of large data files, it is often easier to use web-based collaboration software.

d. E-mail can be an efficient way to communicate, and it makes communicating across time zones much easier.

Explanation

Sentence B is correct because it employs the use of a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. The use of the conjunction, <em>however</em>, helps to separate two sentences that have opposite connotations.

Sentence D is correct because the conjunction, and, was used appropriately to add a second thought to the sentence. The comma was also used correctly as it spliced the sentence and was immediately followed by the conjunction, <em>and</em>.
