One summer, the anthropologist returns to the site at the start of a new field season. He discovers that the same local residents who he hires in the summer have allowed their cattle to graze on the site over the winter while he was gone. The cattle have trampled some of the site and have permanently damaged the irreplaceable fossil materials. How should he proceed?

The remaining part was not damage so the anthropologist can proceed his research.

Explanation:

The anthropologist should continue his work on the remaining part of the field for its study because the remaining part is not disturb by the animals, only little part of the field was damaged during grazing so the anthropologist can take his information from the remaining field and avoid taking data from the affected field due to damaged was done fossil materials and the fossil materials was not present in its original shape..

The answer is : $104,000                  

Explanation:

First, we have to lay out the particulars, and explain what each of them mean:

debit balance in account receivable = $32,000. This refers to an amount that cusomers owed the company at the beginning of the period.

revenue recorded = $88,000. This refers to the total sales made by the company.

At the end of the period, we are told that the account receivable contained a balance of $16,000

Therefore it means that after all the payments (both balance from previous period and sales transactions) have been made in cash, the amount which the customers owed the company = $16,000.

Hence the cash collected is calculated as follows

(debit balance at beginning + revenue) - debit balance at the end = cash collected

(32,000 + 88,000) - 16,000 = cash collected

120,000 - 16,000 = cash collected

cash collected = $104,000
