Exercise 13-07 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 $ 770 $ 69 Accounts receivable (net) 1,950 1,880 Inventory 810 860 Other current assets 590 331 Total current assets $4,120 $3,140 Total current liabilities $2,030 $1,640 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. Compute the current ratio, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover and days in inventory at the end of the current year.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $4,120 / $2030

= 2.03

2. Accounts receivable Turnover:

= Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivables

= 8,258 / (1950+1880 / 2)

= 8258 / 1915

= 4.31

3. Average Collection Period

= 365 / Account Receivable Turnover

= 365 / 4.31

= 84.69 Days

4. Inventory Turnover:

= Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory

= 5328 / (810+860 / 2)

= 5328 / 835

= 6.38 times

5. Days in Inventory:

= 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio

= 365 / 6.38

= 57.21 Days

The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions:
1. There must be many buyers and sellers—a few players can't dominate the market.
2. Firms must produce an identical product—buyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent.
3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing free entry into and exit from the industry.
The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessary for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannot maintain competition in the long run without free entry.
Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not.

The cashew industry is perfectly competitive and until now each of the identical firms in the industry have been earning zero economic profits while selling ay units of output each (for a combined industry-wide total of qy units) at a market equilibrium price of P1 per unit.

i. Just right
ii. Too much
