Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Conducting business is usually NOT the same from country to country because:
1. DIFFERENCE IN BUSINESS ETHICS: Business ethics vary from nation to nation. European countries work from 8 am to 5 pm on a typical work day and rest on Saturdays and Sundays; but in the middle East, people do not work on Fridays but work on Sundays. They also take a lot of business time off for routine prayers during normal work hours.
2. NEED FOR TRANSLATORS: Differences of language does increase the cost of carrying out business activities in other nations. Take India and China for example; You cannot conclude that business deals will be carried out without hiring a translator who understands Hindi or Mandarin.
3. LOCAL LAWS AND CUSTOMS: The UK customs and laws require that cars be driven on the left hand side of the road but that is not the same in most other countries of the world, hence a U.S car manufacturer must be aware of the costs of redesign if he has to sell cars in the U.K.
Answer:
First option will be recommended.
Explanation:
To determine which option to be taken, we calculate the net present value each option generates. The option generating higher NPV should be recommended.
- Net present value of first option = Lump sum receipt = $150,000.
- Net present value of second option will be found by discounting cash flows at investing rate 12% and calculated as followed:
+ Present value of 20 equal annual payment of $14,000 + Present value of $60,000 paid in 20 years = (14,000/12%) x [ 1 - 1.12^(-20)] + 60,000/1.12^20 = $110,792.
As net present value of the first option is higher than the second option, first option will be recommended.
Answer:
The Company's cash cycle is 17.3 days
Explanation:
The cash cycle is computed by the following formula:
Receivable No of days+ Inventory No of days- Payables No of days
31.4 days + 22.4 days - 36.5 days = 17.3 days
In the above question, Ives Corp is making an efficient operation of its cash resources. The payables are more than inventory, so the payables are financing the inventory as well as partly the receivables.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Credit sales is $6,000
Bad debt is 3% of net credit sales which is $180($6,000 x3%)
Creating allowance for doubtful debt entry is one of the prudent method and it tells us that some customers won't pay part of what they are owing. And it is also a contra account that offset bad debt.
According to the accounting rule, debit increases asset and expenses and vice-versa while credit decreases liability, equity, income and vice versa.
So we have have:
Dr Bad debt expense $180
Cr Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $180
The statement in the question is True.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In statistics, the residual sum of squares (RSS), otherwise called the sum of squared residuals (SSR) or the total of squared estimate of errors (SSE), is the aggregate of the squares of residuals (deviations anticipated from real observational estimations of information). It is a proportion of the error between the information and an estimation model.
A little RSS demonstrates a tight attack of the model to the information. It is utilized as an optimality standard in parameter determination and model choice.
