Calculation needed to assess the component pieces of the operating section using the direct approach for the amount collected for sales is

Total potential cash - Ending accounts receivable balance.

Cash that is produced by a company's regular operating procedures is known as operating cash flow. Investors place a high value on a company's capacity to continually produce positive cash flows from its ongoing business operations.

The purpose of drawing up a cash flow statement is to see a company's sources and uses of cash over a specified time period.

You should first subtract any receivables that you are aware are unlikely to be collected before calculating cash collections from accounts receivable. This will leave you with your projected collectible accounts receivable.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

1. What environmental, social, and political risks might arise in supply chain operations in Haiti?

An enviromental risk is another earthquake. Haiti is a very seismic country, and infraestructure quality is low: it can easily crumble down in the even of a strong earthquake (unlike other highly seismic countries with high quality infraestructure, for example: Japan).

A social risk is the possiblity of workers' revolts. The workers may feel exploited, or not at ease within the company, and decided to revolt. Haiti is a violent country, and the revolt could easily become a full-scale conflict that would result in the closing of most, of all of the firms associated with the supply chain.

A political risk is the possibility of property seizure by the government. Haiti does not rank high in government stability, judicial independence, or property rights protections. A new government could become authoritarian, and decide to seize the firms associated with the supply chain.

2. What are the foreseeable costs and benefits from supply chain operations in Haiti?

Low labor costs: the average per capita income in Haiti is $450, and the poverty rate is over 50%, while the underemployment rate is over 60%. This means that people are willing to work, and will work for very low wages, meaning lower costs accross the supply chain.

Untapped market: Even if Haiti is a very poor country, for the same reason it has a great potential to grow, since poor, developing countries tend to grow faster than advanced nations. If the economy of Haitin turns upwards, the firms along the supply chain will likely benefit from being the first in the new market.

3. How could you ensure that your company’s involvement would play a beneficial role in Haiti’s economic recovery?

Paying fair wages, following the country's laws, avoiding illegal practices such as bribing, and putting aside some of the company's income for social contributions such as donations to schools and hospitals (corporate social responsability).

You can invest in an account that pays simple interest or an account that pays compound interest. In either case, you plan to in

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

You will receive $201.38 more interest if the investment is made with a compound interest rate rather than a simple interest rate.

Explanation:

<u>Simple interest rate</u>

We can calculate how much interests you'd obtain if you deposited the $2,600 in a simple interest rate account.

We start using the following formula for calculating the simple interests:

$I=P * r$

Where:

<em>I</em> are the interests per year,

<em>P</em> is the amount being invested,

<em>r</em> is the interest rate.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

$I=2600*0.05=130$

We then proceed to multiply this result by the <em>given number of years</em>, which is 8. We get $130*8=1040$ .

Finishing with the <em>simple interest rate</em>, if we wanted to know how much is the investment worth at the end of a 8 year period, we must merely add <em>the principal</em> (the $2,600) to the total interests after the end of the period ($1040). So $2600+1040= 3640$ .

We'll use these results later.

<u>Compound interest rate</u>

The formula for compound interests is the following:

$I=P(1+r)^n$

Where:

<em>I</em> is the value of the investment after <em>n</em> years,

<em>P</em> is the principal amount being invested,

<em>r</em> is the interest rate,

<em>n</em> are the number of years the investment is compounded.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

$I=2600*(1+0.05)^8=3841.38$

After the 8 year period, the investor will have $3841.38 in it's compounded interest account.

<u>Comparing these results</u>

<u></u>

We can simply substract the value of both investments at the end of a 8 year period, to determine how much more interest does the compound interest rate account give in relation to a simple interest rate account.

The values we've gotten were:

$3,640 for the simple interest rate account, and

$3,841.38 for the compounded interest rate account.

$3841.38-3640=201.38$ . Therefore the answer is: the account that pays compounded interests will pay $201.38 more to this invididual, compared to an account that pays simple interest.

A woman walks into a store and steals $100 she comes back and buys $70 worth of goods with the $100, the owner gives her$30 in c

deff fn [24]

The answer is $100.

Amount she steals= $100
Amount she bought goods= $70
Amount the owner returns as change = $30
Amount owner loses=?

Amount she steals +amount of goods - amount she gives to owner + amount owner returns as change = $100 + $70 - $100 + $30 = $200 - $100 = $100
