Answer:

From a buyer's perspective, a sale made on credit represents a liability. While a sale made on cash represents a decrease of current assets.

From a seller's perspective, a sale made on credit or cash increases current assets, but the possibility of a bad debt always exist, therefore, accounts receivables must be periodically adjusted due to bad debts.

If the seller or buyer uses accrual accounting system, the previous description holds, but if they use cash basis accounting, things change a lot. When use cash basis, transactions are recorded only when cash is exchanged, so accounts receivables do not actually increase assets (seller's perspective), and accounts payables do not increase liabilities (buyer's perspective).

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

You will need to have $ 55,006.94

Explanation:

We need first to consider the following details according to the problem

We have a Annuity amount of $ 2900, a Rate(r)= 0.51%, and a Time(n)= 5 years (or 20 quarters ) .

To reach to the money that we would need to have in the bank today to meet the expense over the next four years we use the following formula:

PVA= annuity amount × [1 - (1 / (1 + r)n)] / r

PVA= $ 2900 x[ 1-{ 1/(1+0.0051)20)]/0.0051

PVA= $ 55,006.94

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
