Lance, Art, and Wayne have joined together to open a law practice but are struggling to manage their cash flow. They haven’t yet

built up sufficient clientele and revenues to support their legal practice’s ongoing costs. Initial costs, such as advertising, renovations to their premises, and the like, all result in outgoing cash flow at a time when little is coming in. Lance, Art, and Wayne haven’t had time to establish a billing system since most of their clients’ cases haven’t yet reached the courts, and the lawyers didn’t think it would be right to bill them until "results were achieved." Unfortunately, Lance, Art, and Wayne’s suppliers don’t feel the same way. Their suppliers expect them to pay their accounts payable within a few days of receiving their bills. So far, there hasn’t even been enough money to pay the three lawyers, and they are not sure how long they can keep practicing law without getting some money into their pockets. Can you provide any suggestions for Lance, Art, and Wayne to improve their cash management practices?

Answer:

This is very simple, they should start billing their clients right away.

You don't have to bill your clients for the full legal expenses, but they for sure need to start making some money.

It is very normal that new businesses don't get enough revenue to cover their operation expenses right away. Even for big corporations, like Amazon and FB, it may take years to reach the break even point.

When you open a business you have to keep some money as reserve to cover some expenses for at least a few months.

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Range&80,000&100,000&120,000\\ Materials&400,000&500,000&600,000\\ Labor&480,000&600,000&720,000 \\ Overhead&640,000&800,000&960,000 \\ Variable&1,600,000&2,000,000&2,400,000 \\ Depreciation&200,000&200,000&200,000 \\ Supervision&100,000&100,000&100,000 \\ Fixed&300,000&300,000&300,000\\ Total&1,960,000&2,300,000&2,700,000\\\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

We multiply the variable component for each relevant range.

Then for the fixed cost, we post the total.

Notice it is given for 1,200,000 units

so total depreciation 1,200,000 x 2 = 2,400,000 = 200,000 per month

Supervisor  1,200,000 x 1 = 1,200,000 = 100,000 per month

Using accrual accounting, expenses are recorded and reported only: _A. when they are incurred and paid at the same time. B. if t
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

C. when they are incurred, whether or not cash is paid.

Explanation:

In accrual accounting, expenses are recorded in the moment they are incurred, even if they have not been paid for.

In fact, the term "accrued expense" means an expense that has been incurred, but not yet paid.

One common example of an accrued expense is accrued wages:

Suppose that a firm hires a worker on March 1, for a wage of $1,000 dollars per month, that is due to be paid at the end of the month (March 31). This worker is earning $33 per day. By March 4, the firm should have recorded accrued wages for $132 ($33 x 4 days) even if no payments will be made until March 31.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Short-term disability plans limit maximum coverage in a month, which makes them more affordable for the company.

Explanation:

Short-term disability is the type of employee insurance plan that gives compensation to the workers in front of injuries that are not related to work or illnesses that do not allow employees to develop their regular duties. The coverage starts between 1 to 14 days after workers suffer a condition that does not allow them to work. This type of benefit has a monthly limit which is an advantage for the firm, being this the reason why most employers offer short-term disability coverage.
