<em>MISSING INFORMATION:</em>

   concept                     //    Year 2     //     Year 1

Sales                                     7,620             7,450

Account Receivables             655                588

Answer:

Yes, there is. The days to collect increase by 4.16 to 29.77 from 26.61

Which is a bad sing as the company delays more to collect form their customers

Explanation:

Account Receivable turnover:

Average receivable:

(458 + 588 ) / 2  =  523

7,450 / 523 =   14.25

Days to collect: 365 / 14.25 = 25,61

Second Year:

Average receivable: (655 + 588) / 2 = 621.5

Turnover: 7,620 / 621.5 =  12.26

Days to collect: 365 / 12.26 = 29,77

29.77 - 25.61 = 4.16

None of the projects should be accepted because they have negative NPV

Explanation:

The question requires the computation of NPV using 0% and 9%.

The cashflows of the two projects will be discounted at 0% and 9%.

The discount factors for each project can be calculated using the formula (1+r)-n. The cashflows of the projects will be multiplied by the discount factors to obtain the present values. NPV is the difference between present values of cash inflows and initial outlay.

I was paid $200 in advance for some hair coloring I will do in January he tells me that's a liability that doesn't make any sens
raketka [301]

Answer:

That is correct this is a liability

Explanation:

That is correct this is a liability. That is because a liability refers to being legally responsible for something. In this scenario, since they paid you $200 for hair coloring then you owe the client that. Meaning that you are legally responsible to provide hair coloring services to the client and until you do that you are liable.
