Answer:
Year 2014 Year 2013
a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times and 3.1 times
b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and 117.7 days
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
As we know that
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory
where,
Average inventory
= (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2
For Year 20Y4 :
Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840 ) ÷2
= $438,000
And, the cost of goods sold is $1,489,200
So,
Inventory Turnover ratio
= $1,489,200 ÷ $438,000
= 3.4 times
For Year 20Y3 :
Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160) ÷ 2
= $305,140
And, the cost of goods sold is $945,934
So,
Inventory Turnover ratio
= $945,934 ÷ $305,140
= 3.1 times
Now
Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio
For 20Y4
= 365 days ÷ 3.4
= 107.3 days
For 20Y3
= 365 days ÷ 3.1
= 117.7 days
Basically we applied the above formulas
<span>Negotiation: Early Neutral Case Evaluation
</span>
<span>Form
of assisted negotiation. The parties select a neutral third party
(generally an expert in the subject matter of the dispute) to evaluate
their respective positions. The parties explain their positions to the
case evaluator however they wish. The evaluator then assesses the
strengths and weaknesses of the parties' positions, and this evaluation
forms the basis for negotiating a settlement.

<span>Negotiation: Mini Trial
</span>
<span>Form of assisted negotiation.
A
mini-trial is a private proceeding in which each party's attorney
briefly argues the party's case before the other party. Typically, a
neutral third party, who acts as an adviser and an expert in the area
being disputed, is also present. If the parties fail to reach an
agreement, the adviser renders an opinion as to how a court would likely
decide the issue. The proceeding assists the parties in determining
whether they should negotiate a settlement of the dispute or take it to
court.

<span>Negotiation: Negotiation
</span><span>The
simplest form of ADR is negotiation, a process in which the parties
attempt to settle their dispute informally with or without attorneys to
represent them. Attorneys frequently advise their clients to negotiate a
settlement voluntarily before they proceed to trial. Parties may even
try to negotiate a settlement during a trial or after the trial but
before an appeal.
</span><span>Negotiation: Facilitation
</span>
<span>Form
of assisted negotiation. Disputes may also be resolved in a friendly,
non-adversarial manner through facilitation, in which a third party
assists disputing parties in reconciling their differences. The
facilitator helps to schedule negotiating sessions and carries offers
back and forth between the parties when they refuse to face each other
in direct negotiations. Technically, facilitators are not to recommend
solutions. (In practice, however, they often do.) In contrast, a
mediator is expected to propose solutions.</span>
Answer: a. 80% stocks, 20% bonds
Explanation:
Stocks are a better fit for young people for 2 reasons;
1. Younger people are usually more risk tolerant. This means that they can pick financial vehicles that are more reflective of this risk taking mentality such as Stocks.
2. As they are far from retirement, their main goal should be saving for retirement. Stocks offer a better chance as Capital Appreciation so that their investments will grow before they retire leaving them in a better position when they do.
Fixed income is more for the older generation so that they may be sure of stable income while they are in retirement.
At the same time, every portfolio should be diversified to avoid risk so 20% going to bonds is ideal.
Answer:
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
Explanation:
The most he can afford to pay is the present value of the $375 per month discounted at the interest rate of return of 6.5% p.a
PV = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
PV = ?, A- 375, r- 6.5/12= 0.541% n= 12×7 = 84
PV = 375× (1- (1.00541)^(-84) )/0.00541= 25260.071
The most he can afford to pay = $25,260.07
<em>Note: the monthly interest rate needed to be computed by dividing 6.5% by 12 and the number of months in 7 years is 7 × 12 = 84 </em>
