Answer:
These two are cash equivalents:
Money market funds
Three-month Treasury bills
Because they represent short-term investments that a company makes with the goal of getting rid of any excess cash that would otherwise be left unused while it is losing value because of inflation.

Answer:
A. 136.2 days
Explanation:
To compute the average days inventory outstanding, first, we have to find out the inventory turnover ratio
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
where,
Average inventory = (Opening balance of inventory + ending balance of inventory) ÷ 2
= ($546,745 + $585,764) ÷ 2
= $566,254
And, the cost of good sold is $1,517,397
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= $1,517,397 ÷ $566,254.50
= 2.67 times
Now, Days in inventory = Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 days ÷ 2.67 times
= 136.70 days approx
Answer:
I) Days sales outstanding (DSO) for all customers? 48.7days
= (53*0.9)+(10*0.1) = 48.7 days
II) Net sales? $166.600
The Net sales = Gross sales - sales allowance
The discount amount due for the 10% discount customers = 2% of the 10% of 170 mn ==> 0.02 * 0.1 * 170 ===> 0.34 mn
∴ The Net sales = 17 - 0.34 mn = 16.66 mn
Amount paid by discount customers? $13.600
Explanation:
I. General Credit Policy Information
Credit stamps 2/10 Net 30
Days sales outstanding (DSO) for all customers 48.7days
DSO for customers who take the discount (10%) 10days
DSO for customers who forgo the discount (90%) 53days
II. Annual Credit Sales and Costs ($ millions)
Gross sales $170.000
Net sales? $166.600
Amount paid by discount customers $13.600
Amount paid by non discounted customers $153.000
Variable operating costs (82% of gross sales) $139.40
Bad debts $0.0
Credit evaluation & collection costs (10% of gross sales) $17.00
