Answer:

Inventory cycle =<u> Inventory    </u>             x       365 days

                            Cost of goods sold

                          = <u>$75,000 </u>   x 365 days

                             $360,000

                          = 76 days

Receivable days = <u>Receivables</u> x 365 days

                               Sales  

                             = <u>$160,000</u> x 365 days

                                $600,000  

                             = 97 days

Payable days = <u>Payables        </u>         x 365 days

                         Cost of goods sold

                        = <u>$25,000 </u>          x 365 days

                           $360,000

                        = 25 days

Cash conversion cycle = Inventory cycle + Receivable days - Payable days

Cash conversion cycle = 76 + 97 - 25 = 148 days

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Explanation:

Cash conversion cycle is the aggregate of inventory cycle and receivable days minus payable days. Inventory cycle is the ratio of inventory to cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Receivable days measure the ratio of receivables to sales multiplied by 365 days. Payable days measure the ratio of payables to cost of sales multiplied by 365 days. Cash conversion cycle is the time lag between when inventory is purchased and when payment is made.

Which has a higher flow rate? 10 customers arriving over two hours or 10 customers arriving over three hours?
Tcecarenko [31]

The one that gives a higher flow rate is: 10 customers over 2 hours. The flow rate is 5 customers per hour.

Flow rate is defined as the number of flow units that pass through the business process per unit time.

The flow unit can be money, customers, products, parts, services, etc.

Example of flow rate is number of customers serviced per hour, number of parts produced per minute, etc.

From the definition, the flow rate can be expressed as:

             Flow rate = number of flow unit / time interval

There are 2 scenarios in the given problem.

  • Scenario 1:

Flow unit = 10 customers

Time interval = 2 hours

Hence, the flow rate in scenario 1 = 10/2 = 5 customers per hour

  • Scenario 2:

Flow unit = 10 customers

Time interval = 3 hours

Hence, the flow rate in scenario 2 = 10/3 = 3.33 customers per hour

By comparing the above scenarios, the one that gives higher flow rate is scenario 1, 10 customers over 2 hours.

At the end of the current accounting​ period, account balances were as​ follows: Cash, $26,000​; Accounts​ Receivable, $42,000​;
Georgia [21]

Answer: Liabilities =$38,000

Explanation: An asset whether tangible or intangible is a source of value to a company examples are Cash, investments, accounts receivables etc

Liabilities are referred to the debts owed to a company or buisness at a particular period eg bank debts, tax owed, wages owed etc.

Equity is the measure of value of a company"s asset eg  Common stock, retained earnings, , preferred stock etc.

The three above are related using the equation below

Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

Total Liabilities = Assets - Equity

Total asset = Cash + Account receivables = 26,000+42,000=68,000

Total equity = Common stock + retained earnings = 18,000+12000=30,000

Total liabilities =Total asset -total equity

= 68,000-30,000

= $38,000
