Van Den Borsh Corp. has annual sales of $68,735,000, an average inventory level of $15,012,000, and average accounts receivable

of $10,008,000. The firm's cost of goods sold is 85% of sales.
The company makes all purchases on credit and has always paid on the 30th day.
However, it now plans to take full advantage of trade credit and to pay its suppliers on the 40th day. The CFO also believes that sales can be maintained at the existing level but inventory can be lowered by $1,946,000 and accounts receivable by $1,946,000.

What will be the net change in the cash conversion cycle, assuming a 365-day year?

Round to the nearest whole day.

a. –25 days

b. –31 days

c. –27 days

d. –32 days

Answer:

The answer is d. -32 days.

Explanation:

<u>*The before change cash conversion cycle</u> = Days of inventory outstanding + Days of receivables outstanding - Days of payable outstanding.

in which:

Days of inventory outstanding = Average inventory / Cost of good sold x 365 = ( 15,012,000 / ( 68,735,000 x 0.85) ) x 365 = 94 days

Days of receivables outstanding = Average Receivables / Revenue x 365 = ( 10,008,000 / 68,735,000 x 365 = 53 days

Days of payable = 30 days

=> Before change cash conversion cycle = 117 days.

* <u>The after-change cash conversion cycle</u> is calculated with the same formula, however with estimated changes be applied in the formula as followed:

Days of inventory outstanding = Average inventory / Cost of good sold x 365 = ( (15,012,000 - 1,946,000) / ( 68,735,000 x 0.85) ) x 365 = 82 days

Days of receivables outstanding = Average Receivables / Revenue x 365 = ( (10,008,000 - 1,946,000) / 68,735,000 x 365 = 43 days

Days of payable = 40 days

=> After-change cash conversion cycle = 82 + 43 - 40 = 85 days

<u>=> Net change is 85 - 117 = -32 days</u>

This management theory assumes there is no one best way to manage?
Kobotan [32]

The contingency approach to management is based on the idea that there is no single best way to manage. Contingency refers to the immediate contingent circumstances. Effective organizations must tailor their planning, organizing, leading, and controlling to their particular circumstances.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

C. A surplus of agricultural goods

Explanation:

Un-intervened markets are at equilibrium where Market Demand = Market Supply. Market Supply curve is upward sloping, due to price - supply direct relationship. Market demand curve is downward sloping, due to price - demand inverse relationship. Both curves intersect at equilibrium.

Price floor is minimum mandated price by government, below which a good cant be sold in the markets. It is usually set above market price, to protect the interest of sellers. Eg : Minimum Support price, of agricultural goods, set for protecting interests of sellers (farmers) from volatile prices.

This mandate set artificially high price : leads to supply being more than demand, as supply is directly & demand is inversely related to price. So, supply > demand implies that agricultural goods are at surplus in markets.

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?

A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next

generation.

B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.

Suppose that you open a mutual fund account with a deposit of 500 dollars. 5 months later, the fund balance is 600 dollars, and
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The question is not complete, below is the complete question:

Suppose that you open a mutual fund account with a deposit of 500 dollars. 5 months later, the fund balance is 600 dollars, and you withdraw 216 dollars. A year after the account was opened, your balance is X dollars. If the dollar weighted and time weighted rates of return were the same, what is the rate of return? (Assume simple interest for the dollar weighted calculation.) Answer should be a percent!!!

Answer:

The rate of return is 48% on deposited fund.

Explanation:

The rate of return on investment is the percentage increase on an amount invested for a particular period of time, and to calculate this, we will use the simple interest formula:

I = P × R × T

Where:

P = principal = $500

R = rate in decimal ( %rate/100)

T = time = 5 months = 5/12 years

I = interest = Principal - final balance = 600 - 500 = $100

∴ 100 = 500 × R/100 × 5/12

100 = \frac{2500R}{1200}

120,000 = 2500R

∴ R = 120,000 ÷ 2500 = 48%

Therefore rate of return (R) = 48%

For a clearer understanding of the concept of interests, let us calculate for the balance after one year (X) as shown below:

I = P×R×T

T = 1 because, X is the balance after one year.

I = 500 × 48/100 × 1

I = $240

therefore the final amount after one year = interest + principal

= 240 + 500 = 740

but we were told that $216 was withdrawn at 5 months, hence the balance after one year = 740 - 216 = $524
