Note: The full question is attached
Average amount of accounts receivables = ($16,000+$14,000)/2
Average amount of accounts receivables = $15,000
Average days to collect receivables = Days * AR / Credit sales

At the macro level because Lehman Brothers itself ceased to exist as it went bankrupt, and at the micro level, because it had to enter a process to pay off some debtors, and some of the employees who were laid off due to the dissolution of the firm.
Ellie would have annual expenses of $15000+$3000+$1000+$1200+$35000=$55,200. If she cashed in her $20.000 deposit then her balance owing would be $35,200 so she would have to make at least this much or preferably the $55,200 to break even.,
