Each business day, on average, a firm writes checks totaling $17000 to pay its suppliers. the usual clearing time for the checks is 4 days. meanwhile, the firm is receiving payments from its customers each day, in the forms of checks, totaling $22000. the cash from the payments is available to the firm after two days. what is the firm’s disbursement float, collection float, and net float?

The disbursement float is $ 68,000, collection float is -$44,000 and net float is $24,000.

Explanation:

DISBURSEMENT FLOAT -

Formula that can be used to calculate the disbursement float is  =

Amount of average monthly check written X Average number of days it

                                                                             takes to clear check

Where, amount of average monthly check = $17,000

and average number of days for it to be cleared = 4 days

Disbursement float = $17,000 x 4

                                = $68,000

COLLECTION FLOAT -

Formula that can be used to calculate the collection float is  =

Amount of average monthly check received X Average number of days it

                                                                             takes to clear check

Where, amount of average monthly check =-$22,000

and average number of days for it to be cleared = 2 days

Collection float = -$22,000 x 2

                         = -$44,000

NET FLOAT -

Formula that can be used to calculate the NET float is  =

DISBURSEMENT FLOAT - COLLECTION FLOAT

= $68,000 - $44,000

= $24,000

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.
