Dome Metals has credit sales of $270,000 yearly with credit terms of net 90 days, which is also the average collection period. A

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Net change in income = $8,100

Explanation:

Given:

Current credit sales= $270,000 per year.

Average collection period= 90 days

A 2/15, net 90 means a 20℅ discount if payment is made within 15 days.

Which means new credit terms increase will be

(90/15) * 20℅ = 120℅

We now find the following:

•Revised sales will be = (current sales * new credit terms increase)

= $270,000 * 120℅ = $324,000

•Increase in sales = ( new sales - current sales)

=$324,000 - $270,000 = $54,000

•Profit increase = (profit percent * Increase in sales)

= 15℅ * $54,000 = $8,100

• Average receivable under existing policy =

= $270,000 * (90/360) = $67,500

• Average under new policy =

$325,000 * (15/360) = $13,500

• Receivable reduction= $67,500 - $13,500 = $54,000

• Interest savings

= $54,000 * 12℅ = $6,480

• Cost of discount =

$324,000 * 2℅ = $6,480

Therefore the net change in income if new credit terms are adopted will be = (increase in profit + interest savings - cost of discount)

= $8,100+$6,480-$6,480

= $8,100

A company is obligated to pay its creditors $6,460 at the end of the year. If the value of the company's assets equals $6,304 at

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The shareholders equity=-$156, this means that the liabilities outweigh the assets by $156.

Explanation:

The shareholder's equity can be defined as the net value of a company. It basically is the amount that shareholders would receive if all the company's assets were liquidated and all of the company's debt also paid back. The shareholder's equity is usually found on the company's balance sheet and can be used as a financial measure to determine the company's financial status. The shareholder's equity is determined from subtracting the company's totals liabilities from its total assets. This can be expressed in the formula below;

E=A-L....equation 1

where;

E=shareholder's equity

A=total assets

L=total liabilities

The total assets represents everything that has some economic value to the company. A liability is an obligation to something or anything of economic value that the company owes. In our case, the company has an obligation to pay it's creditors $6,460 at the end of they year. This is a liability.

Use equation 1 above to solve;

E=unknown, to be determined

A=$6,304

L=$6,460

replacing;

E=(6,304-6,460)=-$156

The shareholders equity=-$156, this means that the liabilities outweigh the assets by $156.

True or False. Companies typically require that systems analysts have a college degree in information systems, computer science,

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

True (at least most of the time)

Ideally companies will require their systems analysts to have a college degree in information systems, computer science, business, or a closely related field.

But sometimes the demand for people with a degree in computer science or information systems is much larger than the supply, then many companies go directly to the colleges and hire students who haven't graduated yet.

I know this since a few years ago a local university issued a public statement about this issue since less that 30% of their students (in computer related fields) actually graduated. Most of the students were hired by Intel, IBM and HP during their third college year and they dropped out. Of course the students left because they were offered high salaries, imagine if you are 20 or 21 years old and a huge corporation offers you over $70,000 a year. I'm not sure that this is still happening, but I doubt it has changed.
