AICPA CPA-Business Exam - Topic 2 Question 22 Discussion

Actual exam question for AICPA's CPA-Business exam
Question #: 22
Topic #: 2
[All CPA-Business Questions]

A change in credit policy has caused an increase in sales, an increase in discounts taken, a reduction in the investment in accounts receivable, and a reduction in the number of doubtful accounts. Based upon this information, we know that:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Choice 'b' is correct. Whenever accounts receivable (AR) are decreasing when sales are increasing (and the decrease in AR is not due to an increase in bad debt write offs), this would indicate that the average collection period for AR has decreased.

Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are incorrect. There is insufficient information in the question to draw conclusions about these items.

Discounts taken are up, but that could hurt gross profit, right?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. The options seem to cover different aspects of resource management, but I'm not sure which one specifically matches the scenario described. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This is a good test of my PROC FREQ knowledge. I'll carefully review each option, thinking about the specific syntax and how it would impact the output. I'm confident I can figure this out.

To provide the necessary attenuation, maybe in the aisle is correct? That way it could limit interference from all directions, but I have my doubts.
