Euphrasia, a mixed open economy, was severely affected by a recession that almost paralyzed its service sector. The Euphrasian

Flura [38]

Answer:

E) Oil imports declined as countries exporting oil reduced supply.

Explanation:

Oil is extremely important for industrialized nations and since Euphrasia is a mixed open economy, we can assume that it is an industrialized nation. Oil has become the most important energy source for more than 60 years and is the raw material for manufacturing plastic.

During the 1970s and early 1980s the American economy was shattered by an increase in the price of foreign oil and a decrease in its domestic production levels. The importance of oil is also why so many modern wars have been fought over oil production and reserves.

Amanda's Interior Design has credit sales of $783,000, costs of goods sold of $418,000, and average accounts receivable of $107,

posledela

Answer:

The 50.30 days are required to take its credit customers to pay for their purchases.

Explanation:

For computing the average collection period, we have to use the formula of the average collection period.

Average collection period = Average accounts receivable ÷ Credit sales × total number of days in a year

= $107,900 ÷ $783,000 × 365

= 0.13780 × 365

= 50.30 days

We assume 365 days in a year

The cost of goods sold is irrelevant. Thus, it is not considered in the computation part.

Hence, 50.30 days are required to take its credit customers to pay for their purchases.
