Answer:

A. Number of sales people employed by the firm's major competitors.

Explanation:

A sales forecast is simply a process of evaluating future sales.  The number of sales people employed by a firms' competitor is not a factor to consider in developing a sales forecast. It has no influence in the actualization of a definitive sales forecast.

A store that has very limited inventory commonly uses what type of inventory method ?
faltersainse [42]

RETAIL INVENTORY METHOD SHOULD BE USED BY A STORE .

Explanation:

The retail inventory method is an accounting method used to estimate the value of a store's merchandise. The retail method provides the ending inventory balance for a store by measuring the cost of inventory relative to the price of the merchandise. Along with sales and inventory for a period, the retail inventory method uses the cost-to-retail ratio.

Periodic counts might be once every two months or every three weeks, depending on warehouse size and company needs. This will create better visibility than yearly or seasonal options but it also requires more time and manpower. Workers must ensure they are performing inventory consistently between each count.

Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation:

D. $1,851

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine annual depreciation</em>

A.D=(A.C-S.V)/N

where;

A.D=annual depreciation

A.C=acquisition cost

S.V=salvage value

N=useful life

In our case;

A.D=unknown, to be determined

A.C=$10,000

S.V=$3,000

N=5 years

replacing;

A.D={(10,000-3,000)/5}=7,000/5=$1,400

Annual depreciation=$1,400

<em>Step 2: Determine annual tax benefits</em>

Annual tax benefits=tax rate×annual depreciation

where;

tax rate=34%=34/100=0.34

annual depreciation=$1,400

replacing;

Annual tax benefits=0.34×1,400=$476

<em>Step 3: Determine present value of the annual tax benefits</em>

Year                  Future value                Present value

 1                          476                            476/{(1+0.09)^1}=436.70

 2                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^2}=400.64

 3                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^3}=367.56

 4                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^4}=337.21

 5                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^5}=309.37

Total present value of the tax benefits=436.70+400.64+367.56+337.21+309.37=$1,851.48

Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation=$1,851

The number of days' sales in receivables a.is an estimate of the length of time the receivables have been outstanding. b.is not
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

a.is an estimate of the length of time the receivables have been outstanding.

Explanation:

The average collection period can be calculated as follows: 365 days in a year divided by the accounts receivable turnover ratio.

Days sales uncollected = Average Account receivable/Net sales*365

A short collection period means prompt collection and better management of receivables. A longer collection period may negatively affect the short-term debt paying ability of the business in the eyes of management.

Why would american soybean producers care about the weather in south america? Is this distinction macro, micro, or a mixture of
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: Macro

Explanation:

This is a macro distinction as the producers of soybean in America are concerned about the crop grown in South America as it will affect the overall price level of soybean in America. When the weather in South America is favorable and the crop produce is large, the supply curve for soybean will shift to the left driving down the overall price level of soybean in America.

Thus, because the concern here is about the overall produce and overall price level it is a macro distinction.
