Answer:

The correct option is "a".

Its total assets turnover must be above the industry average.

Explanation:

Return on equity = profit margin * asset turnover* equity multiplier

Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Because shareholders' equity is equal to a company’s assets minus its debt, ROE could be thought of as the return on net assets.

ROE is considered a measure of how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits.

If ROE is above the industry average, this means that the company's management is above average at using the company’s assets to create profits.

Kearney, Inc., makes kitchen tools. Company management believes that a new model of coffee grinder would sell well at a price of
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

$0.15 hours per unit

Explanation:

Given that

Direct material cost = $16

Assume Direct labor cost = X

Manufacturing overheads = $18

Profit margin = 20%

Direct labor per hour cost = $28

The computation of direct labor-hour input is shown below:-

Total manufacturing cost = X + $34

Total cost of goods sold = (X + $34) × 1.7 = $66

Direct labor cost per unit

= (X + $34) = $38.82

= $38.82 - $34

= $4.32

Direct labor hours per unit = Direct labor cost per unit ÷ Direct labor per hour cost

= $4.32 ÷ $28

= $0.15 hours per unit

Orion Iron Corp. tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each year but applies its inventory costing method at
balandron [24]

Answer:

Transactions Units Unit Cost

a. Inventory, Beginning 300 $ 14

b. Purchase, April 11 950 12

c. Purchase, June 1 850 15

d. Sale, May 1 (sold for $42 per unit) 300

e. Sale, July 3 (sold for $42 per unit) 630

f. Operating expenses (excluding income tax expense), $18,200

1 and 2) When you use a periodic inventory method, cost of goods available for sale and ending inventory are the same. They differ only when you use a perpetual inventory.

ending inventory = 1,170 units

Ending inventory under FIFO:

$28,350 - $11,760 = $16,590

Ending inventory under LIFO:

$28,350 - $13,710 = $14,640

Ending inventory under weighted average:

$28,350 - $12,555 = $15,795

3) total units sold = 930 units

COGS under FIFO:

(300 x $14) + (630 x $12) = $11,760

COGS under LIFO:

(850 x $15) + (80 x $12) = $13,710

COGS under weighted average:

($28,350 / 2,100) x 930 = $12,555

4) Income statement under FIFO

Sales revenue                  $39,060

COGS                                <u>($11,760)</u>

Gross profit                       $27,300

Operating expenses       <u>($18,200)</u>

Operating income              $9,100

Income statement under LIFO

Sales revenue                  $39,060

COGS                                <u>($13,710)</u>

Gross profit                       $25,350

Operating expenses       <u>($18,200)</u>

Operating income               $7,150

Income statement under weighted average

Sales revenue                  $39,060

COGS                               <u>($12,555)</u>

Gross profit                       $26,505

Operating expenses       <u>($18,200)</u>

Operating income              $8,305

6) FIFO minimizes operating income, therefore, minimizes income tax expense.
