Answer:

The accounts receivable balance at the beginning of the third quarter is $3,550

Explanation:

For computing the account receivable balance, first, we have to compute the credit sale per day, and then multiply with the number of days

In mathematically,  

Credit sale per day = (Estimated second Quarter Sales) ÷ (accounts receivable period up to second quarter)

= $7,100 ÷ 90 days

= 78.89

Now the account receivable balance equals to

= Credit sales per day × accounts receivable period

= 78.89 days × 45 days

= $3550

Since the question is asking about the beginning of the third quarter so we considered second quarter sales

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

Explanation:

1. for the company:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 240000/750000

                               = 0.32

fixed cost = 182000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 182000/0.32

                                       = $568750

2.  for the north region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/600000

                               = 0.20

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.20

                                       = $320000

3. for the south region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/150000

                               = 0.80

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.80

                                       = $80000

Therefore, The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

Answer:

B) The public is wary of sharing confidential information after a recent spate of credit card scandals.

Explanation:

There are several advantages of click-only companies, especially that they are able to offer lower prices since they don't need to support the costs of brick-and-mortar stores.

But the whole idea of selling through the internet is based on the customers' trust on new technologies and they specially dislike when the new technologies fail, e.g. when a hacker discloses the accounts and passwords of millions of users.
