ZXC Co currently has income of $30 million per year, of which 80% is from credit sales, an

d a net profit margin of 10%. Due to fierce competition, ZXC Co has lost market share and is looking for ways to win back former customers and to keep the loyalty of existing customers. The sales director has pointed out that a major competitor of ZXC Co currently offers an early settlement discount of 0·5% for settlement within 30 days, while ZXC Co itself does not offer an early settlement discount. He suggests that if ZXC Co could match this early settlement discount, annual income from credit sales would increase by 20%.

Credit customers of ZXC Co take an average of 51 days to settle invoices. Approximately 0·5% of the company’s credit sales have historically become bad debts each year and written off as irrecoverable. The finance director has been advised that offering an early settlement discount of 0·5% for payment within 30 days would increase administration costs by $35,000 per year, while 75% of credit customers would be likely to take the discount. The credit controller believes that bad debts would fall to 0·375% of credit sales if the early settlement discount were introduced.

ZXC Co has an average short-term cost of finance of 4% per year. Assume that there are 360 days in each year.

Required:

(a) Evaluate whether ZXC Co should introduce the early settlement discount. (6 marks)

(b) Discuss TWO ways in which a company could reduce the risk associated with foreign accounts receivable. (4 marks)

The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it．I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables．When I learned more about the food，I began to understand why it has this special feature．

Many years ago，China had an energy crisis(危机)because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests．This loss was very bad for the country，of course，but it turned out to be very good for the food．Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute(替代物)for their valuable wood，or learn how to use it better．There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to—economize．

In order to economize in cookin9，they had to use very little wood．So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel。The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor(味道)一and its this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking．

This text is mainly about__________．

A.what caused Chinese food to taste fresh

B.how Chinese food is cooked in the US

C.when the author started to make Chinese food

D.why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food

回答下列各题： Marriage emerged as the most popular institution throughout history primari

ly because it was an effective arrangement to improve the care and upbringing of children. Marriage is not necessary to have children, but it has been of enormous importance in the rearing of children. With the sharp declines in birth rates since 1970 in Western and other rich countries, including much larger fractions of adults who do not have any children, both men and women have significantly increased their ages marriage, and sharply raised their tendencies to divorce. In 1950, a typical woman and man married at ages 20.3 and 22.8 respectively, whereas now the typical marital ages are 26.0 and 27.7. These changes in age at mariage are related to reduced demand for many children, increased college education of both men and women but especially of women, much greater labor force participation of married and divorced women, and the narrowing of the gender gap in earnings. The most important economic and social concerns due to low marriage rates are the effects on roaring of children. These effects are not due to lower marriage rates alone, but rather to the close connection between these low rates and high divorce rates, and to the greater tendency of women to have children without being married, or without living with the fathers of their children. Although many single mothers do an absolutely wonderful job in raising their children, common sense and most academic findings suggest that having a father present during the raising of children generally has a positive effect on the development of non-cognitive (非认知性) traits of children, These include a general respect for authority and reduced rebelliousness in school, and the avoidance of gangs and other criminal activities. It also appears that the absence of fathers has a greater effect, on the non-cognitive traits of sons than daughters, although that is a less well-established finding. I am not claiming that children are worst oft" when their parents divorce if their parents were fighting a lot, or ff they bad abusive (粗暴的) fathers. Rather, it, appears that up to a significant point, children are, better off in intact families even when their families are not ideal. What do we learn from the first paragraph about marriage？

A.It is primarily a necessary step to have children.

B.It meets resistance in Western and other rich countries.

C.It has a tremendous impact on the rearing of children.

D.It is the most important institution throughout history.

In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of in

fluenzalike cases. Influenza is sometimes called "flu" or a "bad cold". He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.

There are three main types of influenza virus. The most important of these are types A and B, each of them having several sub-groups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus group A, but he didn't know the sub-group. He reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. WHO published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15%～20% of the population had become ill.

As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, they began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself at very high speed, the virus had multiplied more than a million times within two days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs used against all the known sub-groups of type A virus. None of them gave any protection. This then, was something new; a new influenza virus against which the people of the world had no ready help whatsoever.

Having isolated the virus they were working with, the doctors now conducted tests on some specially selected animals, which contracted influenza in the same way as human beings did. In a short time the usual sign of the disease disappeared. Theses experiments revealed that the new virus spread easily, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, called it simply "Asian" flu.

The influenza discovered by a doctor in Singapore is caused by ______.

A．a new type of virus

B．type A virus

C．a sub-group of type B virus

D．a virus only existing in Asia

In 1997, 25 Japanese citizens, all older than 60, launched Jeeba (the name means “old man and old woman") to make senior- 01 products. They knew they were making history when they 02 their company motto: "Of the elderly, by the elderly and 03 the elderly. " They do not hire young people, and the 04 of their workers is 75.

Firms 05 by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide. But the elderly have numbers on their 06 . Healthier and longer-living seniors，born immediately after World War II, are reaching retirement 07 in huge numbers all over the developed world. Extremely low 08 in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their 09 . One likely consequence is now clear: 10 work forces.

While the streamlining effects of international 11 are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give 12 to worries about the growing shortage of young workers. One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, 13 they like it or not. Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages. Others are 14 severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a 15 contribution from the elderly.

Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on 16 they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread. In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work 17 their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle 18 , according to a new study by Putnam Investments.

Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that companies cannot stay competitive with a 19 share of older workers. At British hardware chain B&Q, its “elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more 20 than its regular outlets — due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 percent less shoplifting and breakage.
