41. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Indicators of business activity (Activity ratios) allow you to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of enterprise funds.

Stock turnover period reflects the rate of inventory sales in days:

Inventory turnover = (Inventory / Production costs) x 365.

It is calculated as the average annual value of the amount of stocks, referred to the amount of daily production costs. The latter is defined as the result of dividing the sum of direct production costs for the current year by 365 days. In general, the higher the inventory turnover ratio, the less funds are tied up in this least liquid group of assets. It is especially important to increase turnover and reduce inventory in the presence of significant debt in the company's liabilities.

In some cases, when the ratio is tied to revenue, the inventory turnover period is calculated as the average annual value of the amount of inventory, related to the company's revenue for the analyzed period, multiplied by 365 days.

In the case of calculating this and other similar indicators for a period of less than one year, the following method is applied. The total values ​​used in the formula for the calculation period of a month, quarter, or half year are multiplied by a factor of 12, 4, or 2, respectively. The annual averages are replaced by the averages for the calculation period.

Accounts receivable turnover period (Average collection period) shows the average number of days required to collect a debt:

Accounts receivable turnover = (Accounts receivable / Revenue) x 365. It is calculated as the ratio of the average annual amount of accounts receivable to the amount of daily revenue. Daily revenue is determined as the result of dividing the amount of revenue from sales of products received during the year by 365 days. A high ratio may indicate difficulties encountered in collecting funds from accounts receivable.

Accounts payable turnover period (creditor/purchases ratio) indicates the average number of days it takes a company to pay its bills:

Accounts receivable turnover = (Accounts payable / Total daily purchases) x 365.

It is calculated as the ratio of the average annual accounts payable to the amount of daily purchases. The latter is defined as the result of dividing direct production costs (the cost of raw materials, materials and components, with the exception of piecework wages) incurred during the year by 365 days. Ideally, it is desirable for an enterprise to collect debts on accounts receivable before it becomes necessary to pay debts to creditors.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

It's better for a siren to hiss than to howl 09.04.2002

The English company Sound Alert Technology, having studied in detail the features of the perception of sounds by the human ear, proposed a replacement for howling sirens for special services vehicles.

The firm's sound emitter, called "Localizer", emits a broadband sound that resembles a hiss. The developers claim that the direction to the source of such a sound is determined much faster and more accurately than to the siren.

Experiments carried out in the laboratory and on the roads showed that drivers correctly determine whether the signaling car is behind or in front, in 44% of cases when using a siren and in 82% with the "Localizer". From where the signal is heard - from the left or right, the driver correctly determines in 79% and 93% of cases, respectively. 20-27% of drivers give way to a car with a siren, and 73-81% give way to a car with a "Localizer". True, the latter circumstance is more likely connected with the effect of novelty: if they get used to it, they will stop yielding.

The same signaling can be used in other situations where it is important to draw attention to the source of the sound.
