Answer:

The output growth rate is 3%.

Explanation:

Use the growth accounting equation as follow

ΔA% = ΔY% - αΔK% - βΔL%

Where

∆A = change in productivity = 2%

∆K = growth in capital =

∆L = growth in labor =

α = elasticity of capital = 0.2

β = elasticity of labor = 0.8

∆Y = change in output = ?

Placing values in the formula

2% = ΔY% - ( 0.2 x 1% ) – ( 0.8 x 1% )

2% = ΔY% - 1%

ΔY% = 2% + 1%

ΔY% = 3%

Hence, the output growth rate is 3%.

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

Net income = $112,700

Retained earnings = $108,000
