Green Melon Electronics Company's management plans to finance its operations with bank loans that will be repaid as soon as cash is available. The company's management expects that it will take 60 days to manufacture and sell its products and 50 days to receive payment from its customers. Green Melon's CFO has told the rest of the management team that they should expect the length of the bank loans to be approximately 110 days.

Which of the following responses to the CFO's statement is most accurate?

a. The CFO is not taking into account the amount of time the company has to pay its suppliers. Generally, there is a certain length of time between the purchase of materials and labor and the payment of cash for them. The CFO can reduce the estimated length of the bank loan by this amount of time.
b. The CFO's approximation of the length of the bank loans should be accurate, because it will take 110 days for the company to manufacture, sell, and collect cash for its goods. All these things must occur for the company to be able to repay its loans from the bank.

Setting and implementing a credit policy is important for three main reasons:
1. It has a major effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.
2. It has a minor effect on sales, it influences the amount of funds tied up in receivables, and it affects bad debt losses.

Answer: $251758.53

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question,

Total lease liability = $280,000

Then, the balance in the lease payable account when the first lease payment takes place on January 1, 2021 will be:

= $280,000 - $16,427

= $263573

The, the interest that is included in the lease payment that's made on April 1, 2021 Will be:

= $263573 x 7% x 1/4

= $4612.53

Answer:

Sustainable agriculture farming.

Explanation:

In Agriculture, there are various farming techniques adopted by farmers for the growth and development of their crops. An effective and efficient agricultural technique would have a significant impact on the level of productivity attained by the farmers and as such meeting the unending requirements or needs (demands) of the consumers.

Basically, there are various agricultural techniques used in farming and these includes;

I. Mixed farming.

II. Arable farming.

III. Pastoral farming.

IV. Bush fallowing.

V. Shifting cultivation.

VI. Nomadic herding.

VII. Subsistence farming.

Sustainable agriculture farming can be defined as a farming model that is typically aimed at providing basic human needs such as food, fiber, textiles, etc., without compromising or jeopardizing the ability of future generations to create agricultural solutions to their own basic needs.

This ultimately implies that, when the production of textiles, fiber and food to meet the present human needs deplete the natural base, there is a direct decrease in the ability of future generations to produce to meet their own basic needs regardless of having the means to produce wealth such as farm equipment, land, cattle, labor, etc.

Answer:

Classical probability

Explanation:

Classical probability is calculated only when all possible outcomes in the sample space are down and equally likely to occur. It is the probability of known events or events whose resulting probabilities are definitive

For example, students are either left-handed, right-handed or ambidextrous

Subjective probability is a guess on the likelihood an event would occur.

Experimental probability is the probability derived by repeatedly carrying out an experiment and recording the outcomes

Answer:

Payment received from Debtor: it'll increase Assets by $3,000 and reduce another asset by $3,000.Therefore, Il won't affect the financial position of SER. it's just a substitution of 1 sort of asset into another

Explanation:

Accounting Equation: Assets = Equity + Liability  

All the business transaction affects the equation supported double accounting concept. The above transaction will affect the equation in the following manner.  

Credit purchase of equipment: it'll increase Assets by $2,000 and Liability also by $2,000.

Daily rental received by SER: it'll increase Assets by $8,500 and Equity by $8,500. Daily rental is that the income of SER so it'll increase profitability and equity.

Rent received for Feb month: it'll increase Assets by $4,000 and Liability by $4,000. Advance rent is going to be treated as a liability until the proper receive the rent being established.

it'll not affect the equation because merely signing an agreement with no payment for the services won't end in any assets or liability.

Payment received from Debtor: it'll increase Assets by $3,000 and reduce another asset by $3,000.Therefore, Il won't affect the financial position of SER. it's just a substitution of 1 sort of asset into another

Answer:

B) Ryan's stock was sold for $9 a share causing him to lose most of his profits.

Explanation:

Stop loss order means the limit the loss to the extent investor has opted. Since Ryan placed a stop loss order at $70, so, when the price of the stock starts at $9, the stock would be sold at $9 because it is the next available price to what he placed a stop loss order.

So, the Answer is Ryan stock is sold for $9 a share causing him to lose most of his profits.

Answer:

$246,800

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory

Using this formula

Ending inventory = Inventory count as per physical count + Inventory in transit FOB Shipping point (Purchases) + Inventory in transit FOB destination (Sales)

Let plug in the formula

Ending inventory= $200,000 + $24,840+ $21,960

Ending inventory= $246,800

Therefore What amount should Sunland report as its December 31 inventory is $246,800

Solution :

Given data:

Annual demand, D = 180,000 chairs

Ordering cost, F = $ 150 per order

Annual holding cost per unit, C = $25

Lead time of order, L = 5 days

Standard deviation of order during lead time = 30

a). The optimal order quantity

   [tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2FD}{C}}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 150 \times 180,000 }{25}}$[/tex]

 = 1469.69

 = 1470 (rounding off)

b). The Z value of the customer service of 90%,

i.e., the probability of 0.90 as per normal distribution table = 1.29

∴  Safety stock = Z value x standard deviation of order during lead time

                         = 1.29 x 30

                        = 38.7

                        = 39 (rounding off)

c). The reorder point

 [tex]= \text{Average demand per day} x \text{Demand lead time (day) + Safety stock}[/tex]

 [tex]$=\frac{\text{annual demand}}{\text{300 days}} \times \text{ Demand Lead time (days) + Safety stock}$[/tex]

 [tex]$=\frac{180,000}{300} \times 5 + 39$[/tex]

 = 3039

d). The optimal annual total inventory cost

  [tex]$\text{= Annual ordering cost + Annual Inventory carrying cost}$[/tex]

  [tex]$\text{= Number of orders} \times \text{Ordering cost + Average inventory} \times }$[/tex] [tex]$\text{Inventory holding cost per unit per year}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{\text{annual demand}}{\text{optimum order quantity}} \times \text{ordering cost+}\frac{\text{optimum ordering cost}}{2}\times C$[/tex]

  [tex]$=\frac{180,000}{1470} \times 150 + \frac{1470}{2} \times 25$[/tex]

 = 18367.34 + 18375

 = $ 36,742.34

Answer:

The dividend for 2017 will be = $2124.98

Explanation:

The net earnings for the year 2016 = $5302

The projected dividend for the year 2017 = 2124.98

The dividend for 2017 will be = $2124.98

Answer:

Delayed Payment means a purchase by a buyer in which title to the grain passes to the buyer at a determined price and payment to the seller is not made in less than twenty-one (21) days after delivery.

Answer:

Trade credit is a business-to-business (B2B) agreement in which a customer can purchase goods without paying cash up front, and paying the supplier at a later scheduled date. Usually, businesses that operate with trade credits will give buyers 30, 60, or 90 days to pay, with the transaction recorded through an invoice.

Trade credit can be thought of as a type of 0% financing, increasing a company’s assets while deferring payment for a specified value of goods or services to some time in the future and requiring no interest to be paid in relation to the repayment period.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Trade credit is a type of commercial financing in which a customer is allowed to purchase goods or services and pay the supplier at a later scheduled date.

Trade credit can be a good way for businesses to free up cash flow and finance short-term growth.

Trade credit can create complexity for financial accounting depending on the accounting method used.

Trade credit financing is usually encouraged globally by regulators and can create opportunities for new financial technology solutions.

Suppliers are usually at a disadvantage with a trade credit as they have sold goods but not received payment.

Trade Credit

Understanding Trade Credit

Trade credit is an advantage for a buyer. In some cases, certain buyers may be able to negotiate longer trade credit repayment terms, which provides an even greater advantage. Often, sellers will have specific criteria for qualifying for trade credit.

A B2B trade credit can help a business to obtain, manufacture, and sell goods before ever having to pay for them. This allows businesses to receive a revenue stream that can retroactively cover costs of goods sold. Walmart is one of the biggest utilizers of trade credit, seeking to pay retroactively for inventory sold in their stores. International business deals also involve trade credit terms. In general, if trade credit is offered to a buyer it typically always provides an advantage for a company’s cash flow.

The number of days for which a credit is given is determined by the company allowing the credit and is agreed upon by both the company allowing the credit and the company receiving it. Trade credit can also be an essential way for businesses to finance short-term growth. Because trade credit is a form of credit with no interest, it can often be used to encourage sales.

Since trade credit puts suppliers at somewhat of a disadvantage, many suppliers use discounts when trade credits are involved to encourage early payments. A supplier may give a discount if a customer pays within a certain number of days before the due date. For example, a 2% discount if payment is received within 10 days of issuing a 30-day credit. This discount would be referred to as 2%/10 net 30 or simply just 2/10 net 30.

Trade Credit Accounting

Trade credits are accounted for by both sellers and buyers. Accounting with trade credits can differ based on whether a company uses cash accounting or accrual accounting. Accrual accounting is required for all public companies. With accrual accounting, a company must recognize revenues and expenses at the time they are transacted.

Trade credit invoicing can make accrual accounting more complex. If a public company offers trade credits it must book the revenue and expenses associated with the sale at the time of the transaction. When trade credit invoicing is involved, companies do not immediately receive cash assets to cover expenses. Therefore, companies must account for the assets as accounts receivable on their balance sheet.

With trade credit, there is the possibility of default. Companies offering trade credits also usually offer discounts, which means they can receive less than the accounts receivable balance. Both defaults and discounts can require the need for accounts receivable write-offs from defaults or write-downs from discounts. These are considered liabilities a company must expense.

Alternatively, trade credit is a useful option for businesses on the buying side. A company can obtain assets but would not need to credit cash or recognize any expenses immediately. In this way, trade credit can act like a 0% loan on the balance sheet.

Answer:

only if we include environmental and social goals in the planning.

Explanation:

An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.

Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.

Sustainable development can be defined as an idea or development model that is typically aimed at providing basic human needs such as food, fiber, textiles, etc., without compromising or jeopardizing the ability of future generations to create agricultural solutions to their own basic needs.

Generally, economic goals for sustainable development and growth of a country can be formulated only if environmental and social goals are included in the planning.

Explanation:

Protectionism refers to the restriction of international trade by the government in order to help the domestic industries. The argument in favor of protectionism include:

• Protection of infant industries: Protectionism protects infant industries as they're protected from being subjected to unfair competition and therefore allowed to thrive.

• To prevent dumping and unfair competition

• Revenue generation for government: Through the imposition of tariffs and other policies by the government to protect domestic industries, the government also generates revenue which can be used to improve the economy.

I believe the arguments are valid and I support them.

Answer: B. The dollar is likely to appreciate in spot markets.

Explanation:

First find the forward rate using the forward rate formula:

Forward rate = Spot rate * (1 + Interest rate of Canada) / (1 + Interest rate of US)

= 1 * ( 1 + 3%) / (1 + 5%)

= 0.980952

= 0.98

The forward rate according to the formula is less than the forward rate that is trading.

This means that the U.S. dollar is trading at a forward discount and when this happens, the dollar will not appreciate in the spot markets because it is scheduled to be discounted in the forward market.

Microfinance is an economic development approach that involves providing financial services, through institutions, to low-income clients, where the market fails to provide appropriate services (Kumudini, 2015).

Answer:

11.03 %

Explanation:

Cost of Capital = Cost of equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preferred Stock x Weight of Preferred Stock  + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt.

where,

Cost of equity =  12.80 %

Cost of Preferred Stock = 8.20 %

Cost of Debt =  8.20 x (1 - 0.40) = 4.92 %

also,

Total Market Value = 34,000 x $83 + 7,500 x $97.00 + $416,000 x 113%

                                = $2,822,000 + $727,500 + $470,080

                                = $4,019,580

Weight of Equity = $2,822,000 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.70

Weight of Preferred Stock = $727,500 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.18

Weight of Debt = $470,080 ÷ $4,019,580 = 0.12

therefore,

Cost of Capital = 12.80 % x 0.70 + 8.20 % x 0.18 + 4.92 % x 0.12

                         = 11.03 %
