Excerpts from Huckabee Company's December 31, 2021 and 2020, financial statements are presented below: 2021 2020 Accounts receivable $ 83,000 $ 75,000 Merchandise inventory 61,000 75,000 Net sales 403,000 375,000 Cost of goods sold 243,000 223,000 Huckabee's 2021 average collection period (rounded) is:.

71.57 days

Explanation:

For computing the average collection period first we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio which is shown below:

Account receivable turnover ratio = Credit sales ÷ average accounts receivable

where,  

Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts receivable + ending balance of Accounts receivable) ÷ 2

= ($75,000 + $83,000) ÷ 2

= $79,000

And, the net credit sale is $403,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $403,000 ÷ $79,000

= 5.10 times

Now

Average collection period in days = Total number of days in a year ÷ accounts receivable turnover ratio

= 365 days ÷ 5.10 times

= 71.57 days

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
