Answer:
1. A compromise should be reached.
In the recession, the other small businesses are suffering including the company in question. If the owner pushes the customers to pay their bills, when the recession ends they may move to other vendors which would have made demanding money from them in the recession a myopic and damaging move.
The business however, also has bills to pay and so needs money to maintain operations as well. A compromise needs to be reached. The owner should contact the other businesses still owing and negotiate with them to pay a certain portion of what they owe with the rest coming later.
This could give the owner enough to keep the business running whilst maintaining the loyalty of his customers.
2. Problems that a business services company could have if customers do not pay include;
- Inability to pay staff.
- Inability to pay utilities like electricity.
- Inability to pay rent and other expenses.
- Increased risk of debt default.
- Growth of company suffers.
Answer:
31. B) 7,000 & 10,000
32. B) Alternative 2
Explanation:
Volume is 7000 tons :
Alternative 1 costs : $10,000 + (7000 * $10 ) = $80,000
Alternative 2 costs : $20,000 + (7000 * $8 ) = $76,000
Alternative 3 costs : $40,000 + (7000 * $6 ) = $82,000
Alternative 2 is the most cheapest option if the volume is between 7,000 tons to 10,000 tons.
