7. A company is thinking of borrowing money at an 18% annual interest rate in order to pay a $30,000 invoice within the discount period. The invoice terms are 2/10, n/30. They should borrow the money because they will have a net savings of 19.2%. TRUEThe annual interest rate associated with the credit terms is 37.2% and is calculated by multiplying the 20-day interest rate ($600 ÷ $29,400) by the number of 20-day periods during a year (365 ÷ 20). Borrowing at 18% will save the company 19.2% (37.2% - 18%).

The turnover ratio indicates the number of times on average that the receivables are collected while the days sales in receivables shows the length of time in days it takes the company to collect its receivables from the credit customers. The higher the turnover ratio, the fewer days it takes to collect our receivables, thereby increasing liquidity of the receivables.

111. During 2011, Charles Inc. recorded credit sales of $2,000,000. Based on prior experience, it estimates a 1 percent bad debt rate on credit sales. At the beginning of the year, the balance in net accounts receivable was $150,000. At the end of the year, but before the bad debt expense adjustment was recorded and before any bad debts had been written off, the balance in net accounts receivable was $125,000. A. Assume that on December 31, 2011, the appropriate bad debt expense adjustment was recorded for the year 2011 and accounts receivable totaling $10,000 were written off for the year, what was the receivables turnover ratio for the year? B. Assume that on December 31, 2011, the appropriate bad debt expense adjustment was recorded for the year 2011 and accounts receivable totaling $12,000 were written off for the year, what was the receivables turnover ratio for the year? C. Explain why the answers to parts 1 and 2 differ or do not differ. Answers will vary Feedback: A. Receivables Turnover (15.7) = Net sales ($2,000,000) ÷ Average net accounts receivable ($150,000 + $105,000) ÷ 2 B. Receivables Turnover (15.7) = Net sales ($2,000,000) ÷ Average net accounts receivable ($150,000 + $105,000) ÷ 2 C. The ratio stayed the same because only the adjusting entry affects the balance of net accounts receivable while the actual write off of customer accounts simply offsets the asset against the contra- asset account so that net accounts receivable doesn't change.

119. You are the new manager of West Coast Company. The company distributes goods throughout the Rocky Mountain area. Customers are billed after the shipments are sent. Most customers pay within two weeks. You notice that one employee is responsible for opening all incoming payments, recording them in the accounting records, and depositing all receipts in the bank daily. When asked why this one person performed all of these duties, you were told that it was more efficient for one person to handle cash and to keep track of things. If any cash was missing, responsibility could be easily determined. Do you agree with this arrangement? What changes would you make, and why? Answers will vary Feedback: Note: Answers may vary. This is definitely not a good system. One person should not be responsible for the receipt of cash, accounting for cash, and depositing in the bank. The duties of handling cash and accounting for cash should definitely be separated. This person could be stealing from the firm; since he/she is the only one handling the receipt of cash, the theft could easily be concealed. For example, when a customer pays cash on account, the employee could debit sales returns and allowances instead of the cash account. To prevent such an occurrence, different employees should have the responsibility of receiving cash, accounting for cash, and depositing cash in the bank on a daily basis.

233. A recent annual report for Kirova Company contained the following data:

Requirements: A. Calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio and average days' sales in receivables for 2011. B. Explain the meaning of each number. Answers will vary Feedback: A. Accounts receivable turnover ratio (9.6) = Net sales ($18,158) ÷ Average net accounts receivable ($1,814 + $1,973) ÷ 2 Average days' sales in receivables (38 days) = 365 days ÷ Accounts receivable turnover (9.6) B. The turnover ratio indicates the number of times on average that the receivables are collected while the days sales in receivables shows the length of time in days it takes the company to collect its receivables from the credit customers. The higher the turnover ratio, the fewer days it takes to collect our receivables, thereby increasing liquidity of the receivables.

234. During 2011, Charles Inc. recorded credit sales of $2,000,000. Based on prior experience, it estimates a 1 percent bad debt rate on credit sales. At the beginning of the year, the balance in net accounts receivable was $150,000. At the end of the year, but before the bad debt expense adjustment was recorded and before any bad debts had been written off, the balance in net accounts receivable was $125,000. A. Assume that on December 31, 2011, the appropriate bad debt expense adjustment was recorded for the year 2011 and accounts receivable totaling $10,000 were written off for the year, what was the receivables turnover ratio for the year? B. Assume that on December 31, 2011, the appropriate bad debt expense adjustment was recorded for the year 2011 and accounts receivable totaling $12,000 were written off for the year, what was the receivables turnover ratio for the year? C. Explain why the answers to parts 1 and 2 differ or do not differ. Answers will vary Feedback: A. Receivables Turnover (15.7) = Net sales ($2,000,000) ÷ Average net accounts receivable ($150,000 + $105,000) ÷ 2 B. Receivables Turnover (15.7) = Net sales ($2,000,000) ÷ Average net accounts receivable ($150,000 + $105,000) ÷ 2 C. The ratio stayed the same because only the adjusting entry affects the balance of net accounts receivable while the actual write off of customer accounts simply offsets the asset against the contra- asset account so that net accounts receivable doesn't change.

242. You are the new manager of West Coast Company. The company distributes goods throughout the Rocky Mountain area. Customers are billed after the shipments are sent. Most customers pay within two weeks. You notice that one employee is responsible for opening all incoming payments, recording them in the accounting records, and depositing all receipts in the bank daily. When asked why this one person performed all of these duties, you were told that it was more efficient for one person to handle cash and to keep track of things. If any cash was missing, responsibility could be easily determined. Do you agree with this arrangement? What changes would you make, and why? Answers will vary Feedback: Note: Answers may vary. This is definitely not a good system. One person should not be responsible for the receipt of cash, accounting for cash, and depositing in the bank. The duties of handling cash and accounting for cash should definitely be separated. This person could be stealing from the firm; since he/she is the only one handling the receipt of cash, the theft could easily be concealed. For example, when a customer pays cash on account, the employee could debit sales returns and allowances instead of the cash account. To prevent such an occurrence, different employees should have the responsibility of receiving cash, accounting for cash, and depositing cash in the bank on a daily basis.
