Answer:

Macy is liable. The Federal Trade Commission states that both the credit rating agency and Macy's are responsible for correcting the erroneous credit report. It is very hard to sue and win a credit rating agency because they will place the blame on the company that made the initial mistake (Macy's), but lately courts have accepted cases against the companies that cause all this mess.

Courts have lately ruled in favor people alleging that a bad credit report damaged them since a good credit rating is considered an intangible asset. The company that cause the mistakes are liable for any possible damages resulting from a poor credit rating.

Georgia [21]

Answer: Undercapitalization

Explanation:

Undercapitalization is defined as the situation where a person or entity of any kind does not have sufficient funds or capital to run their business and pay the costs it has. This type of situation usually occurs when the business is not selling the necessary amount of products or services to generate the amount of income necessary to meet all the payments it has.

When an entity or business is undercapitalization, in many cases they have had to take measures such as downsizing, fewer materials to create the product, or ultimately, if none of this works, having to close the business.

Walker Clothing Store has a balance in the Accounts Receivable account of $390k at the beginning of the year and a balance of $4
lesantik [10]

Answer:  The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 73 days.

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts Receivable at the beginning of the year = $390,000

Accounts Receivable at the end of the year = $410,000

Net credit sales during the year = $2,000,000

Average collection period of the receivables in terms of days:

Average accounts receivables = \frac{410000 + 390000}{2}

= 4,00,000

Net credit sales = \frac{2000000}{400000} = 5

∴ Accounts receivable days = \frac{365}{5}

= 73 days

The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 73 days.

Date Particulars Units   Cost Amount                

1 -1        Op Balance     1,000         $1            $1,000  

1 -7         Purchases      600          $3             $1,800

Total                              1,600    $1.75         $2,800  

                                              ($2,800 ÷ 1,600 units)  

1 -20 COGS           900      $1.75            $1,575

Total                              700     $1.75            $1,225

1 -25       Purchases     400     $5                 $2,000

Ending inventory         1,100    $2.9318       $3,225

                                                  ($3,225 ÷ 1,100 units)  

We simply added the purchase units with the opening balance and deduct the cost of goods sold units from the opening balance so that the correct ending inventory amount could arrive

Epicure Market prepares fresh gourmet entrees each day. On Wednesday, 80 baked chicken dinners were made at a cost of $3.50 each
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The price of a Dinner= $6.22

Explanation:

<em>Mark-up is the proportion of the product cost which is expected to be made as profit. In other words, it is profit expressed as a percentage of product cost.</em>

To account for the spoilage rate of 10%, $3.50 unit cost would be consider as 90% of the cost. Thus, 100% of the cost would be given as follows:

Dinner cost = 100/(100-10)× 3.50= 3.89

The price of a Dinner = product cost + 60% of product cost

The price of a Dinner = 3.89 + 60%*3.89= $6.22

The price of a Dinner= $6.22
