Aragon and Associates has found from past experience that 25% of its services are for cash. The remaining 75% are on credit. An aging schedule for accounts receivable reveals the following pattern: a. Ten percent of fees on credit are collected in the month that service is rendered.
b. Sixty percent of fees on credit are collected in the month following service.
c. Twenty-six percent of fees on credit are collected in the second month following service.
d. Four percent of fees on credit are never collected.

Fees (on credit) that have not been paid until the second month following performance of the legal service are considered overdue and are subject to a 3% late charge.

Aragon has developed the following forecast of fees:

May $180,000
June 200,000
July 190,000
August 194,000
September 240,000

Required:
Prepare a schedule of cash receipts for August and September.

Suppose that fixed costs for a firm in the automobile industry (start-up costs of factories, capital equipment, and so on) are $5 billion and that variable costs are equal to $17,000 per finished automobile. because more firms increase competition in the market, the market price falls as more firms enter an automobile market, or specifically, , where n represents the number of firms in a market. assume that the initial size of the u.s. and the european automobile markets are 300 million and 533 million people, respectively.a. calculate the equilibrium number of firms in the u.s. and european automobile markets without trade.b. what is the equilibrium price of automobiles in the united states and europe if the automobile industry is closed to foreign trade? c. now suppose that the united states decides on free trade in automobiles with europe. the trade agreement with the europeans adds 533 million consumers to the automobile market, in addition to the 300 million in the united states. how many automobile firms will there be in the united states and europe combined? what will be the new equilibrium price of automobiles? d. why are prices in the united states different in (c) and (b)? are consumers better off with free trade? in what ways?
