Answer:

b) inventory is sold on credit.

Explanation:

Liquidity is defined as the a business to use its current assets to settle it's current liabilities.

This is calculated by using the working capital ratio.

Working capital ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities.

Cash and inventory contribute to a business' liquidity.

When inventory is sold on credit, it does not result in immediate increase in cash as payment is in the future. So there is a reduction in the current asset of the company.

A reduction in the numerator of the working capital ratio results in lower value of the ratio (lower liquidity)

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$1,290,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Cash flow to creditors = -$85,000

Cash flow to stockholders = $170,000

Firm’s net capital spending for 2018 = $1,250,000

Firm reduced its net working capital investment by $45,000

Cash Flow from Assets:

= Cash Flow to Creditor + Cash Flow to Stockholders

= -$85,000 + $170,000

= $85,000

Cash Flow from Assets = OCF - Net Capital Spending - Change in Net Working Capital

$85,000 = OCF - $1,250,000 - (-$45,000)

OCF = $85,000 + $1,250,000 - $45,000

= $1,290,000

Len [333]

Answer:

1. $13,240

2. 16,000 units

3. 22,000 units.

Explanation:

The question is answered as follows

Part 1: Determine the total sales for the first quarter as follows

January Sales in Units = 400 Units

February Sales Units = 400 x 110% or 1.1= 440 units

March Sales Unites = 440 x 110% or 1.1. = 484 units

Total Sales = 1,324 x $10 = $13, 240

Part 2: Determine Production In August

Production in August making use of the relevant figures

= Expected units + (Expected units in september x 80%) - Inventory on August 1

= 12,000 + (0.8 x 15,000) - 8000= 16,000 Units

Part 3: Determine the Production Units as follows

Sales Units + Closing Inventory of finished goods - The Opening Inventory of finished goods

= 20,000 units + 5,000 units - 3000 units = 22,000 units

A publisher reports that 55% of their readers own a particular make of car. a marketing executive wants to test the claim that t

Dominik [7]

Based on the percentage of readers who own a particular make of the car and the random sample, we can infer that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.02 level to support the executive claim.

<h3>What is the evidence to support the executive's claim?</h3>

The hypothesis is:

Null hypothesis : P = 0.55

Alternate hypothesis : P ≠ 0.55

We then need to find the test statistic:

= (Probability found by marketing executive - Probability from publisher) / √( (Probability from publisher x (1 - Probability from publisher))/ number of people sampled

= (0.46 - 0.55) / √(( 0.55 x ( 1 - 0.55)) / 200

= -2.56

Using this z value as the test statistic, perform a two-tailed test to show:

= P( Z < -2.56) + P(Z > 2.56)

= 0.0052 + 0.0052

= 0.0104

The p-value is 0.0104 which is less than the significance level of 0.02. This means that we reject the null hypothesis.

The Marketing executive was correct.
