Garcia Industries has sales of $176,500 and accounts receivable of $18,500. Assume all sales to be on credit. The industry average DSO is 27 days, based on a 365-day year. If the company changes its credit and collection policy sufficiently to cause its DSO to fall to the industry average, and if it earns 3.0% on any cash freed-up by this change, assuming other things are held constant, by how much would the net income be affected?

Answer:

$163.32

Explanation:

Days Sales Outstanding = 365 * Accounts receivable / Sales

If the Days Sales Outstanding falls to the industry average:

27 = 365 * Accounts receivable / $176,500

27 * $176,500 = 365 * Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable = 27 * $176,500 / 365

Accounts receivable = $13,056.16

Increase in net income = Decrease in accounts receivable * 3%

Increase in net income = ($18,500 - $13,056.16) * 3%

Increase in net income = $5,443.84 * 3%

Increase in net income = $163.3152

Increase in net income = $163.32

Nick and Beth run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and parties. It takes Nick 8 hours to prepare food for an event and 4 hours of effort to get each new client. For Beth, it takes 12 hours to prepare food for an event and 3 hours to get a new client.
1. Who has an absolute advantage in food preparation?
2. Who has a comparative advantage in food preparation?
Suppose that initially, Nick and Beth are both splitting both tasks for a large number of events. Then they decide to start shifting some work according to the principle of comparative advantage. In particular, the person with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event, and the other person will use the freed-up time to get more clients. As a result, the total number of events for which food is prepared will remain unchanged, but the number of new clients will increase by __?__.
