SashulF [63]

Answer:

Moorcroft Company

a) A Schedule of Expected Collections from Customers for June:

June Sales - 40% of $407,000 cash = $1,628,000

June Sales - 20% of 60% of $407,000 = $48,840

May Sales - 50% of 60% of $292,000 = $87,600

April Sales - 26% of 60% of $327,000 = $51,012

Total = $1,815,452

b) A Schedule of Expected Payments for Direct Materials for June:

June Purchases - 50% of $61,000 cash = $30,500

May Purchases - 40% of 50% of $51,000 = $10,200

April Purchases - 60% of 50% of $42,000 = $12,600

Total = $53,300

c- i)A Schedule of Expected Collections from Customers for June:

June Sales - 40% of $407,000 cash = $1,628,000

June Sales - 30% of 60% of $407,000 = $73,260

May Sales - 50% of 60% of $292,000 = $87,600

April Sales - 18% of 60% of $327,000 = $35,316

Total = $1,824,176

ii) These changes increased cash collections from $1,815,452 to $1,824,176, an increase of $8,724.00

iii) The uncollectible of credit sales was halved, reducing from $9,768 (4% of 60% of $407,000) to $4,884 (2% of 60% of $407,000) for June sales for example.

iv) It is certainly worth paying the collector $1,000 or more per month.

d-i) A Schedule of Expected Payments for Direct Materials for June:

June Purchases - 40% of $61,000 cash = $24,400

May Purchases - 40% of 60% of $51,000 = $12,240

April Purchases - 60% of 60% of $42,000 = $15,120

Total = $51,760

ii) The changes reduced the cash payments for June from $53,300 to $51,760, a difference of $1,540.

Explanation:

a) When sales are made on credit, the finances of the entity will be impacted.  While credit sales encourage more sales, there is the risk of uncollectible debts and short-term funding crisis due to non-receipt of payment from customers.

b) To manage this, companies introduce some incentives to encourage early payment, like cash discount.  They may also formalize the debt with a note receivable.  The note can also be sold for immediate cash.

c) Employing a collector to pursue receivables may be in the best interest of a company.  The collector intensifies pressure on the customers to pay.

Exchange rates are an effective way to analyze the price of one currency in terms of another currency with _____________________
nalin [4]

Exchange rates are an effective way to analyze the price of one currency in terms of another currency with the tools of demand and supply.

<h3>What do you mean by exchange rate?</h3>

Exchange rates refer to the value of one's nation's currency over the currency of another nation.

An exchange rate can be fixed or free-floating. A fixed exchange rate is pegged to the value of other currency and a free-floating exchange rate may rise or fall due to changes in the foreign exchange market.

Thus, exchange rates are an effective way to analyze the price of one currency in terms of another currency with the tools of demand and supply.

Walt has a $300,000 listing at 8% commission. An agent from another firm sold the listing. Walt has a 70% commission split with
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

$8,400

Explanation:

total commission = $300,000 x 8% = $24,000

50% co-brokerage split = $24,000 x 50% = $12,000

Walt's commission = $12,000 x 70% = $8,400

the 70% commission split between Walt and his broker means that Walt keeps 70% of the commission and the broker keeps 30%.

total commission is split between the two firms because the Walt's listing was sold by another firm.

Consider the relative liquidity of the following assets: Assets
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

4. Your house - MONEY IS THE MOST LIQUID ASSET THAT CAN EXIST

2. The funds in a savings account  - MOST SAVINGS ACCOUNTS ALLOW THEIR CLIENTS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF WITHDRAWALS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS PER MONTH, SO MONEY AT A SAVINGS ACCOUNT IS ALSO VERY LIQUID.

1. A bond issued by a publicly traded company - THE COMPLETE PROCESS OF SELLING A BOND MAY TAKE FROM ONE FULL DAY TO A FEW DAYS, SINCE FIRST YOUR TRADER MUST SELL THE BOND AND THEN THEY MUST TRANSFER THE MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT. STILL BONDS ARE LIQUID ASSETS.

4. Your house - SELLING A HOUSE IS A LONG PROCESS THAT CAN TAKE A FEW DAYS (AT BEST) TO SEVERAL MONTHS, SO A HOUSE IS NOT A VERY LIQUID ASSET.
