Fancy Distributing Company of Atlanta sells fans and heaters to retail

Question
	Fancy Distributing Company of Atlanta sells fans and heaters to retail outlets throughout the Southeast. Joe Fancy, the president of the company, is thinking about changing the firm’s credit policy to attract customers away from competitors. The present policy calls for 1/10, net 30 cash discount. The new policy would call for a 5/10, net 45 cash discount. Currently, 35 percent of Fancy customers are taking the discount, and it is anticipated that this number would go up to 65 percent with the new discount policy. It is further anticipated that annual sales would increase from a level of $200,000 to $600,000 as a result of the change in the cash discount policy.

The increased sales would also affect the inventory level. The average inventory carried by Logan is based on a determination of an EOQ. Assume sales of fans and heaters increase from 11,500 to 23,750 units. The ordering cost for each order is $175, and the carrying cost per unit is $2.50 (these values will not change with the discount). The average inventory is based on EOQ/2. Each inventory has an average cost of $12.50.
Cost of goods sold is equal to 60 percent of net sales; general and administrative expenses are 15 percent of net sales; and interest payments of 14 percent will only be necessary for the increase in the accounts receivable and inventory balances. Taxes will be 34 percent of before-tax income.

a.	Compute the accounts receivable balance before and after the change in the cash discount policy. Use the net sales (total sales minus cash discounts) to determine the average daily sales.
b.	Determine the EOQ before and after the change in the cash discount policy. Translate this into average inventory (in units and dollars) before and after the change in the cash discount policy.
c.	Compute the following income statement.

d.	Should the new cash discount policy be utilized? Briefly comment.

	

HEATHER KIRN LANIER’S “SHE’S NO ANGEL, AND I LOVE THAT”

HEATHER KIRN LANIER’S “SHE’S NO ANGEL, AND I LOVE THAT”

Heather Kirn Lanier’s “She’s No Angel, and I Love That” Order Description FORMAT: Minimum 1,200 words, double-spaced, 1” margins; put your name, my name, the class, assignment number, and date in the upper left corner of the first page; number pages in the upper right corner; have a title. Cite sources in MLA style. INSTRUCTIONS: Chose one of these essays from our readings: Sophie Kleeman: “One Powerful Illustration Shows Exactly What’s Wrong With How the West…” Natasha Lennard: “Of Suicide” Sarah Smarsh: “Poor Teeth” Heather Kirn Lanier’s “She’s No Angel, and I Love That” Compose an analysis of the author’s rhetorical strategies, focusing not on WHAT the author says, but on HOW she says it and on the effect of saying it in a particular way. Use the glossary in this syllabus to help you with rhetorical language. Choose one or two key rhetorical features to focus on, such as the writer’s appeals to ethos, pathos, or logos; the kairos in which the essay was written; or the ways in which the writer invites us to identify with or differentiate ourselves from the people they write about.Focus on HOW the text communicates implicit and explicit messages. This is about much more than summarizing content, though your paper will also have to provide a thorough and accurate summary of the text before it launch a proper analysis. By looking at the techniques, you can see how the author guides our interpretation of the content. You might ask questions like: How does this author characterize himself/herself? How does he/she characterize others? How does he/she invite us to sympathize, empathize, or judge? Why is it significant that this essay was created in a particular time, place, and circumstance? What does this text respond to? To what purpose are these arguments being used? What kinds of attitudes and ideas does the author invite us to adopt as we look at their subject? Adhere to a single, clear, analytical, evolving thesis throughout your essay. You may revise and resubmit this essay for a higher grade at any point before the end of the semester, but only if you visit CLAS first (see syllabus p.3). Have CLAS send me an email report of your visit. Then be sure to confer with me about your specific plans for revision. Actually I have done the assignment but I good a grade of B+ and I need an A. I am going to upload the assignment with the instructor comments. Please help me to have the A grade.
