The company has $ 35 from April 3, 1993. The cash difference between April, 3 1993 and January 2, 1993 is the amount of $3,728. The factors that could contribute to the reduction in cash are principally the accounts receivable, the fixed assets and other assets.
D. What percentage of total assets does Warnaco hold as accounts receivable at the end of the end of the quarter? How does this compare to the year ended January 2, 1993? Interpret this difference in light of the seasonality of Warnaco’s operations.
