Answer:

Explanation:

Overall in a scenario such as this one, a firm may continue operating and producing goods if they believe demand may go back up and result in higher returns or if they expect the tastes of consumers to change in the near future.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

D. Customers and suppliers willing to learn and evolve with new technology

Explanation:

In an implementation of any new IT system, the resistance to adoption from different stakeholders in the organizations is one of the most difficult challenges that is faced by the project managers. To overcome this resistance, the project manager needs to be accustomed to the basic principles of change management which involves:

1 - Designing incentive systems that forces all the stakeholders to adopt the new system.

2- Manage proper communication strategy that conveys the benefits of adopting the new system and conduct training for all the users.

However, there will still be resistance from certain suppliers and customers  to the adoption of the new system. Which can lead to failed implementation of the system. However by doing the following, any organization can make sure that customers and suppliers quickly become an integral part of the IT system:

1- Take feedback from the customers and suppliers so that not only a more user friendly system can be designed, but also customers will be more invested as they feel they have been part of the decision making process.

2- Invite customers and suppliers to use the company resources to make themselves accustomed to the new system.

On August 1, our company purchases $1,000 worth of merchandise inventory on credit with the terms 2/10, n/30. What is the amount
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) $1,000

Explanation:

Early Settlement Discount

This form of quotation is common with suppliers offering their customers deferred payment arrangement in a sale contract. Usually, under this arrangement customers are allowed to purchase goods on credit and settle their acccount at a specified  later date.

However, to encourage customers to pay up their outstanding earlier than expected, suppliers do offer early settlement discount as incentives to induce prompt payment.

A quotation of 2/10, n/30

This implies that the customer is a given a 30-day period from the date of purchase within which he is expected to settle his account. However, if he does so within the next 10 days of purchase he will be given a 2% discount.

<em>Applying this to the question, the purchase date is August 1, the the latest date for which account is settle to qualify for early settlement discount will be 11 days i.e (1+10) .</em>

Since the payment will be made on August 12, no cash discount will received. Therefore, a payment of gross amount of $1,000 would be credited to the cash account.
