1. Ruth Company currently has $1,000,000 in accounts receivable.

Its day's sales outstanding (DSO) is 50 days


(based on a 365-day year). Assume a 365-day year. The company wants to reduce its DSO to the industry
average of 32 days by pressuring more of its customers to pay their bills on time. The company's CFO
estimates that if this policy is adopted the company's average sales will fall by 10 percent. Assuming that
the company adopts this change and succeeds in reducing its DSO to 32 days and does lose 10 percent of its
sales, what will be the level of accounts receivable following the change?

a. $576,000
b. $676,667
c. $776,000
d. $900,000
e. $976,667

2. Collins Company had the following partial balance sheet and complete annual income statement:

Partial Balance Sheet:


Cash $ 20
A/R 1,000
Inventories 2,000
Total current assets $ 3,020
Net fixed assets 2,980
Total assets $ 6,000

Income Statement:
Sales $10,000
Cost of goods sold 9,200
EBIT $ 800
Interest (10%) 400
EBT $ 400
Taxes (40%) 160
Net Income $ 240

The industry average DSO is 30 (based on a 365-day year). Collins plans to change its credit policy so as to
cause its DSO to equal the industry average, and this change is expected to have no effect on either sales or
cost of goods sold. If the cash generated from reducing receivables is used to retire debt (which was
outstanding all last year and which has a 10 percent interest rate), what will Collins' debt ratio (Total
debt/Total assets) be after the change in DSO is reflected in the balance sheet?

a. 33.33%
b. 45.28%
c. 52.75%
d. 60.00%
e. 65.71%
3. Taft Technologies has the following relationships:

Annual sales $1,200,000

Current ratio 1.2

The company’s current assets consist of cash, inventories, and accounts receivable. How much cash does
Taft have on its balance sheet?

a. -$ 8,333
b. $ 68,493
