I need your advise. Business sells items. 25% customers pay next month. For Oct. cash collected was $21000 and $6500(accounts receivable) from Sept. Total-27500. What is revenue in this case?

Thank you,

Luiza

If you are on cash basis accounting, this is simply the $27,500 received in the month.

However, I expect you are on accrual basis, in which case the sales made in the month are what you want to count instead of the cash received. Under accrual, you sold $21,000 that you already collected on, and another 25% that will be collected the following month. Therefore, the $21,000 is 75% of revenue for the month. Now it becomes an algebra problem:

$21,000/.75 = $28,000 

The $6,500 of accounts receivable is the 25% of the prior month's revenue, so it doesn't count for this month.

Got another case study for an SEO project, trying to improve the search engine ranking for the website BetterBankruptcy.com with the keywords below.

Bankruptcy is a legal process available to individuals or married couples who need help dealing with a large amount of debt. In a bankruptcy, you and your bankruptcy lawyer work with a court and a trustee -- a person appointed by the court to administer the bankruptcy -- to pay off some of your debt and have the rest forgiven.

As soon as you file bankruptcy, you are granted an automatic stay, which stops creditors from harassing you and trying to repossess, foreclose, or collect on the debt. At the end of the bankruptcy process -- which can take four months to five years, depending on which chapter you file under -- you will receive a bankruptcy discharge which effectively eliminates many debts.

BetterBankruptcy has bankruptcy lawyers in your area waiting to help you.

Last month I blogged about an SEO project on the keyword phrase "Real Estate Investor Tools" where I was trying to move it up from its Google position of #284 of 33 million pages.

"My 'regular' job is working for a company that does web development with CSS (cascading style sheets) and SEO work (search engine optimization) for their own websites and for their clients. We're working on one website in a particularly challenging and competitive SEO area -- real estate investor tools. There are lots of websites out there all fighting for high rankings with various keywords, and the client has select some they want to conquer.

So here's what I'm doing. I wrote up a case study of what we're up to with trying to improve the search engine rankings for the website MyTurboBidder.com with the keywords below. I've included the latest rankings, and will update things as the project progresses."

Since then, Google has gone through its periodic housecleaning/reshuffling of search results for real estate investor tools. The rankings initially dropped to #472 but after the dust settled began surging upwards again. At today's review, the results are pretty impressive for the big three search engines:

Anyway, here are this week's updates for Real Estate Investor Tools:

• Google: #48 of 2.4 million pages
• Yahoo: #2 of 37 million pages
• MSN: #1 of 4.2 million pages

Updates for Real Estate Investor Tool:

• Google: #29 of 13 million pages
• Yahoo: #1 of 43 million pages
• MSN: #1 of 4.3 million pages

No, this isn't about Star Wars. We had some pretty serious thunderstorm activity pass through here early this morning with torrential rains, lightning strikes, tornados, and sporadic wind damage scattered throughout the area. While College-Cram is hosted by a major hosting company, unfortunately that company is located about 30 minutes north of us and was also caught in the same storm front.

The results, as some of you may have noticed, were some intermittent outages all day today.(I believe we were down about an hour total, in about four separate incidents.)

I applaud those of you who braved the elements and stuck with us, including Dzenana looking for Macroeconomics homework help on market equilibrium, and those who even managed to keep a sense of humor.  You're the real storm troopers.
