Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Net sales: $20.0 billion.

Accounts receivable:

  • The beginning of the year: $2.7 billion
  • The end of the year $2.8 billion  

a. Compute 3M's account receivable turnover.

We need to find the average account receivable:

= (the beginning account receivable + the ending account receivable) / 2

= ($2.7 billion + $2.8 billion) / 2

= $5.5 billion / 2

= $2.74 billion

  • Accounts Receivable turnover ratio:  

= Net annual credit sale ÷ Average accounts receivable

= $20.0 billion: $2.74 billion

= 7.3 time.

  • 3M's average collection period for accounts receivable in days

= 365/Accounts Receivable turnover ratio:

= 365/7.3

= 50 days.

Answer:

1. 7.27 times

2. 50.19 days

Explanation:

The receivables turnover is the ration of net sales to average accounts receivable. The average accounts receivable is the sum of the receivables at the beginning of the period and that at the end of the period divided by 2.

The average collection period is the ratio of the total number of days in the period to the receivables turnover ratio measured in days.

Account receivable turnover = net sales/average accounts receivable

average accounts receivable =  (beginning balance + ending balance)/2

Collection period for Accounts receivable in days = 365/Account receivable turnover

Account receivable turnover = 20/(2.7 + 2.8)/2

= 40/5.5

= 7.27 times

Collection period for  Accounts receivable in days =  365/7.27

= 50.19 days

Helga [31]

Answer:

$2800

Explanation:

First of all, the order received from Tinley High School has not been delivered  by the end of November ,hence the value of the order is irrelevant for the purpose of calculating net accounts receivable at the end of November.

However, out of the goods of $3120 sold to Palos Middle School,$320 worth has been returned as defective,leaving a balance of $2800($3120-$320).

For Palos to be entitled to the discount of 2% they should have made payment by 24th November,which never happened,as a result the accounts receivable stay at $2800

Answer:

The answer is option A. Designing a new backpack at an outdoor sports equipment company is an example of Product-level activity.

Explanation:

A product-level activity is carried out in support of a specific product or activity.

These actions are taken irrespective of the amount of production or service volume associated with a product.

The capitals gain yield represents the percentage appreciation or increase in the value of an investment. It is simply calculated by calculating the increase in the value of an investment or stock/bond and divide it by its initial cost.

The formula for CG Yield is,

CG Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0

Where,

P1 is current price

Which of the following can explain the upward slope of the short-run aggregate supply curve? a. nominal wages are slow to adjust
Goryan [66]

Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions 

Explanation:

In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed.  For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.

As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.

Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
