Answer:
a. Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales on account/Average accounts receivable
2017
Accounts receivable turnover = $5,800,000/$530,000
Accounts receivable turnover = 10.94
2016
Accounts receivable turnover = $5,200,000 / $550,000
Accounts receivable turnover = 9.45
b. Average collection period = 365 days/Accounts receivable turnover
2017
Average collection period = 365/10.94
Average collection period = 33 days
2016
Average collection period = 365/9.45
Average collection period = 39 days

a. Otto 1/2. Parker 1/2
b. Otto 5/8, Parker 3/8
c. Otto 1/3, Parker 1/3, Quentin's heirs 1/3
d. Otto 1/2. Parker 1/4, Quentin's heirs 1/4
Answer:D. Otto 1/2. Parker 1/4, Quentin's heirs 1/4

a. What are the amount and nature of Dennis’s loss upon closing the short sale?
b. When does the holding period for the remaining 100 shares begin?
c. If Dennis sells (at $27 per share) the remaining 100 shares on January 20, 2017, what will be the nature of his gain or loss?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What are the amount and nature of Dennis’s loss upon closing the short sale?
Sales consideration = $100 × $152 = $15200

c. If Dennis sells (at $27 per share) the remaining 100 shares on January 20, 2017, what will be the nature of his gain or loss?
Sales consideration = 100 × $27 = $2700
Less: Base value = $19000
Short term capital loss = $16300

What are the requirements for something to be used as money?
Nordstrom, Inc. operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2020 are presented below.
End of Year Beginning of Year
Cash and cash equivalents $750 $81
Accounts receivable (net) 2,060 1,810
Inventory 880 830
Other current assets 570 429
Total current assets $4,260 $3,150
Total current liabilities $2,060 $1,610
For the year, net credit sales were $8,258 million, cost of goods sold was $5,328 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $1,251 million.
Required:
Compute the current ratio, current cash debt coverage, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover, and days in inventory at the end of the current year.
Answer:
Nordstrom, Inc.
Current Ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= $4,260/ $2,060
= 2.1
Current cash debt coverage = Net Operating Cash/Current liabilities
= $1,251/$2,060
= 0.61
Accounts receivable turnover = Net Sales/Average Receivable
= $8,258/$1,935
= 4.27
Average collection period = 365/4.27
= 85.5 days
Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory
= $5,328/$855
= 6.2 times
Days in inventory = 365/Inventory turnover
= 58.9 days
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
End of Year Beginning of Year
Cash and cash equivalents $750 $81
Accounts receivable (net) 2,060 1,810
Inventory 880 830
Other current assets 570 429
Total current assets $4,260 $3,150
Total current liabilities $2,060 $1,610
Net credit sales = $8,258 million
Cost of goods sold = $5,328 million
Net operating cash = $1,251 million
Average receivables = $1,935 ($2,060 + $1,810)/2
Average inventory = $855 ($880 + $830)/2
