Answer:
A. 56.32 days
B. 40.38 days
Explanation:
The Operating cycle is the Inventory period + AR period
Inventory period= 365/(Cost of goods sold/Average inventory)
Average inventory= (Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2
Accounts Receivable period= 365/(Credit Sales/Average Accounts Receivable )
Average Accounts Receivable= (Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Inventory Accounts Receivable)/2
Calculated Inventory period= 42.58 days
Calculated Accounts Receivable period= 13.74 days
The Cash cycle is also called the Net Operating cycle which is the Inventory period + Accounts Receivable period- Accounts Payable period
Accounts Payable period= 365/(Cost of goods sold/Average Accounts Payable)
Average Accounts Payable = (Beginning Accounts Payables + Ending Inventory Accounts Payable)/2
Calculated Accounts Payable period= 15.94 days
Answer:
C. the price is below the equilibrium price
Explanation:
Remember, in the law of demand and supply the quantity supplied is dependent on the value of the price of a good.
In this case the price is below the equilibrium price; meaning demand would be higher than the supply which results in the shortage of the good and the company therefore raises the price of the good.
For example, the price of oranges decrease in the equilibrium price (from $10 to $5), resulting in an increase in the demand for oranges.
The increase in demand would lead to shortage, making farmers increase price wanting to supply more.
$40 you want to charge enough to pay for them and make a profit.
