a. The receivables turnover = Net Credit Sales/Average Receivables
= $8,105,305/$447,516
= 18 times per year
b. The Days' Sales in Receivables = Average Receivables/Credit Sales * 365
= $447,516/$8,105,305 * 365
= 20.15 days
c. On the average, it took 20.15 days (365/18.11) for credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past year.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Accounts receivable balance = $447,516
Credit sales for the year just ended = $8,105,305
The receivables turnover = Net Credit Sales/Average Receivables
= $8,105,305/$447,516
= 18.11 times
The Days' Sales in Receivables = Average Receivables/Credit Sales * 365
= $447,516/$8,105,305 * 365
= 20.15 days

The adjusting entry needed on December 31 is:
Debit Unearned Rent revenue $10,800
Credit Rent Revenue $10,800
Explanation:
Following the Accrual accounting - an accounting method that revenue or expenses are recorded when a transaction occurs rather than when payment is received or made.
The tenant paid five months' rent in advance on October 1. From October 1 to December 31, Vista View Company had rented warehouse space to a tenant for 3 months.

Debit Unearned Rent revenue $10,800 ($3,600 x 3 = $10,800)
Credit Rent Revenue $10,800
Distance ran by Chris Gilbert, D = 96 yards
Speed, S = 4.9 s / 40 yards
Time ran by Chris Gilbert, T = D x S
T = (96 yards) x (4.9 s / 40 yards)
T = 11.76 s, total time ran by Chris Gilbert
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
