Answer:

option (A) 49 days

Explanation:

Data provided:

Net sales = $3,749.9 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2016 = $486.6 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2015 = $520.2 million

Now,

The duration from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 = 365 days

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\textup{Average accounts receivable}}{\textup{Credit sales}}\times Number of days

or

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\frac{\$486.6 + \$520.2}{2}\textup{million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365

or

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\$\textup{503.4 million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365

or

Days sales outstanding = 48.99 ≈ 49 days

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) 49 days

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer

Hello,

Well, a diverse society is stable and alive with positive dynamics, easy to adapt to changes and always geared towards a positive evolutionary.

As an individual, a diverse society offers greater opportunity for personal and professional growth.

In the society, diverse cultural views can inspire creativity and innovation. A diverse society has a pool of diverse skills base which allows an organization to produce broader and more adaptable range of goods and services.

A challenge in this is that integration across multicultural groups can be difficult due to negative cultural stereotypes. Some countries require navigating visa and application of employment laws that could be challenging requirements.

Diversity quotas in colleges can be outlawed but still allow colleges to consider race in admitting students.

Wish you luck!
