True. Risk in investment can be defined as the possibility that the investor may lose a big portion or all of the initial investment or make very high returns in a short period. Risk which is often likened to volatility dictates that the higher the volatility the higher the chances of returns. Speculative investments such as leveraged ETFs(commodities such as gold, oil, silver), options, venture capital trusts are considered high risk and often so offer handsome returns or cost the investor all or even more of their initial capital. It is however important to note that high risk does not automatically translate into high returns. The intrinsic value of the investment vehicle among other factors need to be considered in depth to determine if the investment is worth the risk

inventory Turnover and Days' Sales in Inventory The following financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Holland

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Year 2014 Year 2013

a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times and 3.1 times

b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and 117.7 days

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

As we know that

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

where,

Average inventory

= (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2

For Year 20Y4 :

Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840 ) ÷2

= $438,000

And, the cost of goods sold is $1,489,200

So,

Inventory Turnover ratio

= $1,489,200 ÷ $438,000

= 3.4 times

For Year 20Y3 :

Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160) ÷ 2

= $305,140

And, the cost of goods sold is $945,934

So,

Inventory Turnover ratio

= $945,934 ÷ $305,140

= 3.1 times

Now

Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio

For 20Y4

= 365 days ÷ 3.4

= 107.3 days

For 20Y3

= 365 days ÷ 3.1

= 117.7 days

Basically we applied the above formulas

Strike offers to sell Bailey one thousand shirts for a stated price. The offer declares that shipment will be made by Dependable

maks197457 [2]

Answer: A contractual obligation om shipment is not enforceable.

Explanation: A contract is a legally binding agreement. For a contract to be legally binding it needs to have an offer and acceptance. Strike and Bailey are merchants who both agree on the stated quantity and price of shirts to be shipped. However, the declaration or condition of shipment is neither agreed nor accepted by both Strike and Bailey as Strike offered to deliver using 'Dependable Truck Line' while Bailey accepted delivery by 'Yellow Express Truck Line' that was never offered.

For a contract to exist, a complete offer and acceptance must exist on the full terms and conditions of te shipment in this case. However, there is no agreement by either party on the shipment therefore contractual obligation on shipment is not enforceable.
