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.

1. Compute the incremental income after taxes that would result from these projections:

2. Compute the incremental Return on Sales if these new credit customers are accepted:

If the receivable turnover ratio is expected to be 5 to 1 and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers…

3. Compute the additional investment in Accounts Receivable
4. Compute the incremental Return on New Investment

5. If your company requires a 20% Rate of Return on Investment for all proposals, do the numbers suggest that trade credit should be extended to these new customers? Explain.

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).

1. If the company currently averages $20,000 in collections per day, how many dollars will this suggested cash management system frees up?

2. If all freed up dollars would be used to pay down debt that has an interest rate of 8%, how much money could be saved each year in interest expense?

3. Do the numbers suggest that this new system should be implemented if its total annual cost is $5200? Explain.

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 $240,000 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 2% of incremental sales (whether they actually end up collected or not), and production and selling costs are projected to be 78% of sales.

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.

1. If the company currently averages $50,000 in collections per day, how many dollars will this suggested cash management system free up?

2. If all freed up dollars would be used to pay down debt that has an interest rate of 6%, how much money could be saved each year in interest expense?

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.

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.

You are called by Tim Duncan of Waterway Co. on July 16 and asked to prepare a claim for insurance as a result of a theft that took place the night before. You suggest that an inventory be taken immediately. The following data are available. Inventory, July 1 $ 38,200 Purchases—goods placed in stock July 1–15 80,300 Sales revenue—goods delivered to customers (gross) 124,800 Sales returns—goods returned to stock 4,400 Your client reports that the goods on hand on July 16 cost $29,400, but you determine that this figure includes goods of $5,500 received on a consignment basis. Your past records show that sales are made at approximately 30% over cost. Duncan’s insurance covers only goods owned. Compute the claim against the insurance company. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 2 decimal places, e.g. 78.73% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)
