Proposal #1 would extend trade credit to some customers that previously have been denied credit because they were considered poor risks. Sales are projected to increase by $200,000 per year if credit is extended to these new customers. Of the new accounts receivable generated, 6% are projected to be uncollectible. Additional collection costs are projected to be 5% of incremental sales, and production and selling costs are projected to be 78% of sales. Your firm expects to pay a total of 30% of its income after expenses in taxes.
If the receivable turnover ratio is expected to be 5 to 1 and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers…
Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payments that are mailed in by check to cash. It is estimated that establishing these collection centers would reduce the average collection time by 2 days (from 5 days to 3 days).

Trucking companies no longer merely carry goods from one place
to another. Some also provide supply chain management services to
their customers and help them manage their information. In this
project you�ll use the Web to research and evaluate two of these
business services. Investigate the Web sites of two companies, J.
B. Hunt and Schneider Logistics, to see how these companies�
services can be used for supply chain management. Using the
information found in those sites as well as your own outside
reasearch, create a 2-3 page essay in which you answer the
following questions: What supply chain processes can each of these
companies support for their clients? How can customers use the Web
site of each company to help them with supply chain management?
Compare the supply chain management services provided by these
companies. Which company would you select to help your firm manage
its supply chain? Why?
note Your essay should be 2-3 pages in length and fully explore all of the following items described above. Include at least 2 outside citations (not including your text) and use proper APA formatting.

At the end of its first year of operations, Loring Industries estimates that sales returns in the amount of $20,000 will occur during Year 2. The cost of the inventory expected to be returned is $12,000. All of Loring’s sales are made for cash and the company uses a perpetual inventory system. Assume that no returns have occurred as of the end of Year 1. Prepare the appropriate adjusting journal entry to record the expected sales returns and the inventory expected to be returned in Year 2.

Jones Equipment is a private company that sells and installs HVAC systems. Jones offers payment terms of 2/10, n/30, where customers making payment within 10 days of installation will receive a discount of 2% off the purchase price or must pay the full balance due within 30 days. Jones has just received payment from a new customer who paid within the 10-day window and is thus entitled to the 2% discount. The gross sales price of the equipment and installation, before discount, was $10,000. This discount will not result in a loss to Jones on the sale of the product and service. Jones needs your help to determine when the 2% early-payment discount should be recognized and how it should be recorded—for example, as a reduction in revenue or as a cost of sales?
1. Show the approximate journal entries that Jones would make upon installation of the equipment and upon receipt of customer payment.
