Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The firm's receivable turnover is 20 times

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Accounts receivable turnover ratio  = (Credit sales ÷ average accounts) receivable

where,  

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

= ($0 + $50,000) ÷ 2

= $25,000

And, the net credit sale is $500,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= ($500,000 ÷ $25,000)

= 20 times

And, the average collection period in days = Total number of days in a year ÷ accounts receivable turnover ratio

= 360 days ÷ 20

= 18 days

It is reasonable to state that one object has twice as much of the attribute property when it has a score of 60 and the other ob
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Ratio Scale

Explanation:

A ration scale of measurement is one that has equal units of measurement, and has an absolute value of zero. Measurements below the zero point on the scale is not possible. for example in the measurement of height in meters, the lowest measurement possible is 0 meter, a measurement of - 1 meter will make no mathematical sense. In this example, if a score of 60 is said to have twice as much attributes than a score of 30, it means that this attributes are measured from a reference zero point, because truly, 60 is twice as much as 30, from a zero point on a scale.

The other scales of measurements include;

nominal scale of measurement; which contains mainly categorical data and is mainly used in form of tags rather than showing magnitude or intervals. Example is grouping a group of adults into married, divorced or single.

Ordinal scale; this scale shows hierarchical series or ordered series, but does not show intervals between the elements. example is in classifying the positions of participants in a race as first, second or third etc. There is an ordering, as the first position is on top of the list, but it will now make sense to say the distance between the attribute of first to third position is the same as the distance between the attributes between third and fifth position, as there is no scale.

Interval scale; this scale of measurement does not have a limit zero value which represents the least possible point on a scale, but the intervals between different units on the scale can be compared logically. Example is the measurement of temperature using the Fahrenheit scale, where the temperature can go as low as - 20°F, below the zero point, and a distance of 3°F to 5°F can be said to be equal to a distance of 10°F to 12°F.

It should be noted that the project manager is responsible for the timely completion of the project within the budget, and also within specifications in order for the customers to be satisfied. In cases whereby the project is not being linked to a organization's strategic plan, the resources that are being devoted to the project will result into wastage.

• What is meant by an integrative approach to project management? Why is this approach important in today?

An integrative approach to project management simply refers to one whereby there are interrelationships between all the parts. It should be noted that the approach is vital as an organization that utilizes it has a competitive edge and also provides an integrated system that is required for project implementation.
