Answer:
A. 56.32 days
B. 40.38 days
Explanation:
The Operating cycle is the Inventory period + AR period
Inventory period= 365/(Cost of goods sold/Average inventory)
Average inventory= (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2
Accounts Receivable period= 365/(Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivable )
Average Accounts Receivable= (Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Inventory Accounts Receivable)/2
Calculated Inventory period= 42.58 days
Calculated Accounts Receivable period= 13.74 days
The Cash cycle is also called the Net Operating cycle which is the Inventory period + Accounts Receivable period- Accounts Payable period
Accounts Payable period= 365/(Cost of goods sold/Average Accounts Payable)
Average Accounts Payable = (Beginning Accounts Payables + Ending Inventory Accounts Payable)/2
Calculated Accounts Payable period= 15.94 days
Answer:
The correct answer is A. The time value of money.
Explanation:
In economic theory, the temporary value of money is intended to represent the idea that a dollar of today is worth more than a dollar of the future, even after adjusting for inflation, because a dollar can now generate interest or other returns up to moment in which the dollar of the future is received. This theory is based on the calculation of present or current value.
Answer:
B. A) population sizes, income levels and cultural influences, the current state of the infrastructure, and distribution and retail networks available.
Explanation:
In a country where population is high, the demand for goods and services would be high and this would stimulate market growth. On the other hand, in a country where population is low, demand for products would be low and this can hinder market growth.
In a country where income level is high, demand for goods and services would also be high and this would stimulate market growth. The opposite is the case when income is low.
The presence of good infrastructure in a country enhances innovation and production and this can lead to market growth.
The presence of a strong and good retail network to enhance distribution of goods and services can lead to market growth as it assures producers of efficient distribution of goods and services produced.

Answer:
d.guarantee the company will earn a profit
Explanation:
Internal controls are controls put in place by management to mitigate against identified risk. Risk basically refers to what could go wring in a process. Controls are put in place to mitigate against the risk of error or fraud and do not necessarily prevent the company from making a loss.
Companies make profit or loss based on management's decisions such as where to invest, what time to invest, introduction of a new product, management of cost of sales and operating expenses etc
Internal controls basically consist of policies and procedures that ensure that the company's asset are not misused (fraud), no misrepresentation of revenue (fraud), employees and managers comply with laws and regulations, business information is accurate ( no misrepresentation of records due to error) etc.
Hence Internal control does not consist of policies and procedures that guarantee the company will earn a profit.
The right option is d.
Answer:
D. The breakeven point decreases.
Explanation:
Breakeven point of a business is defined as the point where it's total cost and total revenues are equal, at this point there is no gain or loss. Hen revenue is above this point profit is made, and when revenue is below this point there is loss.
The formula for break-even is
Breakeven point= Total fixed cost/(Sales price per unit- Variable cost per unit)
Since sales price and variable cost is constant, let's say
(Sales price per unit- Variable cost per unit)= constant (k)
So when we cross-multiply in the formula
Breakeven* k= Total fixed cost
It shows that Breakeven point is directly proportional to Total fixed cost.
So a reduction in Total fixed cost will result in a reduction in Breakeven point.
