C. D’Leon purchases materials on 30-day terms, meaning that it is
supposed to pay for purchases within 30 days of receipt. Judging
from its 2015 balance sheet, do you think that D’Leon pays
suppliers on time? Explain, including what problems might occur if
suppliers are not paid in a timely manner.
Answer: [Show S3-19 here.] D’Leon probably does not pay its suppliers on
time judging from the fact that its accounts payables balance
D. D’Leon spends money for labor, materials, and fixed assets
(depreciation) to make productsand spends still more money to
sell those products. Then the firm makes sales that result in
receivables, which eventually result in cash inflows. Does it appear
that D’Leon’s sales price exceeds its costs per unit sold? How does
this affect the cash balance?
Answer: [Show S3-20 here.] It does not appear the D’Leon’s sales price

E. Suppose D’Leon’s sales manager told the sales staff to start offering
60-day credit terms rather than the 30-day terms now being
offered. D’Leon’s competitors react by offering similar terms, so
sales remain constant. What effect would this have on the cash
account? How would the cash account be affected if sales doubled
as a result of the credit policy change?
Answer: [Show S3-21 here.] By extending the sales credit terms, it would
take longer for D’Leon to receive its moneyits cash account would
F. Can you imagine a situation in which the sales price exceeds the
cost of producing and selling a unit of output, yet a dramatic
increase in sales volume causes the cash balance to decline?
Explain.
G. Did D’Leon finance its expansion program with internally generated
funds (additions to retained earnings plus depreciation) or with
external capital? How does the choice of financing affect the
company’s financial strength?

H. Refer to Tables IC 3.2 and IC 3.4. Suppose D’Leon broke even in
2015 in the sense that sales revenues equaled total operating costs
plus interest charges. Would the asset expansion have caused the
company to experience a cash shortage that required it to raise
external capital? Explain.
I. If D’Leon starts depreciating fixed assets over 7 years rather than
10 years, would that affect (1) the physical stock of assets, (2) the
balance sheet account for fixed assets, (3) the company’s reported
net income, and (4) the company’s cash position? Assume that the
same depreciation method is used for stockholder reporting and for
tax calculations and that the accounting change has no effect on
assets’ physical lives.
Answer: [Show S3-24 here.] This would have no effect on the physical stock
