Answer:

Walker's did not outperform because it PE Ratio is close to Industry average. Industry's data is based on average which means some of the firms may have very high PE ratio and some might have quite lower than the average. It is not obvious that the Walker's outperformed or under-performed. Complete data about the individual firms might make us able to compare the performance of Walker's. Apparently its performance is up to the mark as its PE ratio is very close to Industry average.

Explanation:

<u>PE Ratio</u> is a term which show the investors confidence on the firm. It shows that how much price investors are willing to pay against each unit of earning.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a) Month        Sales

April           $300,000

May            $320,000

June           $370,000

Schedule of expected collections

For the month of June, 202x

Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000

Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600

Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 40% = $76,800

Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 26% = $46,800

Total cash collections during June = $338,200

b) Month        DM purchases

April           $45,000

May            $54,000

June           $60,000

Schedule of expected cash payments for direct materials purchases

For the month of June, 202x

Cash purchases during June = $60,000 x 50% = $30,000

Cash payments for May's purchases = $27,000 x 40% = $10,800

Cash payments for April's purchases = $22,500 x 60% = $13,500

Total cash payments during June = $54,300

c) Month        Sales

April           $299,000

May            $337,000

June           $387,000

Schedule of expected collections

For the month of June, 202x

Cash sales during June = $370,000 x 40% = $148,000

Collection from June's credit sales = $222,000 x 30% = $66,600

Collection from May's credit sales = $192,000 x 50% = $96,000

Collection from April's credit sales = $180,000 x 18% = $32,400

Total cash collections during June = $343,000

It would be worth to pay the collector since the 2% reduction in uncollectible accounts is worth much more than the $1,000 that he/she earns.

May            $54,000

June           $60,000

Hello M5irenflorevert,
I would say bread because it is the most perishable food on that list.

Identify the possible reason or reasons for this stark difference between income inequality and consumption inequality. Intergen
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

  • The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
  • Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.

Explanation:

First part of this question reads:

In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.

The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.

When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
