Answer: A. Utility Patent

Explanation:

Generally speaking there are 3 types of patents including Utility, Design and Plant Patents.

The relevant patent here however is the Utility Patent.

Utility Patents enable the protection of a NEW and USEFUL process, product or machine. It is essentially meant to protect inventors and their invention from others who may seek to use the invention in any way without permission.

The following income statements were drawn from the annual reports of the Denver Company and the Reno Company: Denver* Reno* Net

Lynna [10]

Answer:

1. Gross margin percentage:

For Denver and the Reno is 53% and 27%

2. Return on sales ratio:

For Denver and the Reno is 18% and 10%

Explanation:

1. The formula to compute the gross margin percentage is shown below:

Gross margin percentage = (Gross margin) ÷ (Net sales) × 100

For Denver = ($17,760 ÷ $33,200) × 100 = 53%

For Reno = ($23,850 ÷ $86,900) × 100 = 27%

2. The formula to compute the return-on-sales ratios is shown below:

Return-on-sales ratio = (Net income) ÷ (Net sales) × 100

For Denver = ($6,000 ÷ $33,200) × 100 = 18%

For Reno = ($8,502 ÷ $86,900) × 100 = 10%

A bank loaned out 19,000 part of it at 6% interest per year and the rest at 14% per year. if the interest recieved in one year t

Ksju [112]

Let x be the part of 19,000 that was loaned out at 6% such that the remaining 19,000 - x was loaned out at 14%. The interest is calculated by the equation,

I = P x i x n

where P is the principal amount, i is the interest, n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,

2000 = (x)(0.06) + (19000 - x)(0.14)

The value of x from the equation above is 8250.

Hence, 8,250 was loaned out at 6%.
