(i.e., .2345 should be entered as 23.45).) If both sales and expenses cannot be changed, what change in the amount of operating assets is required to achieve the same result?

Answer:

a) 18.75%

b) $ 149333.33

Explanation:

Given:

Return on investment = 10% = 0.1

Total sales = $ 300000

Total operating assets = $ 320000

Reduction in expenses = $ 28000

a) The return on investment is calculated as:

Return on investment = Net income/ operating assets

on substituting the values, we get

0.1 = Net income/ $ 320000

or

Net income = 0.1 × $ 320000

or

Net income = $ 32000

The reduction in expenses is the amount that has been gained i.e the net income will increase

thus, the net income = $ 32000 + $ 28000 = $ 60000

now,

the return on investment for the latest net income will be

Return = $ 60000/$320,000

or

Return = 18.75%

b) for the condition given in the second case

we have

Return  = 18.75%

Net income = $ 32000

Return = Net income/ operating asset

or

18.75% = $32000/ operating asset

or

Operating asset = $32000/0.1875

or

Operating assets = $ 170666.67  

Now, the decrease of the operating asset from the actual asset = $ 320000 - $ 170666.67   = $ 149333.33

Thus, the operating cost must decrease by $ 149333.33

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

C) price lining

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that Holly’s Candle Shop appears to be using price lining. This refers to a business decision in which a range of products from the same product line are priced differently depending on the difference in quality. Which is most likely the case in Holly's store since she sells only candles but the higher quality candles are priced at $10 while the lowest quality ones are priced at $6.

Which of the following BEST describes a company's proper liquidity management?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A. Liquidity management is a balancing act, managers try to find liquidity levels that are neither too high not too low.

Explanation:

Maintaining proper liquidity is an important financial objective of management. Proper liquidity management demands that an entity should be able to meet his short term financial obligation and making sure that liquid assets of the entity are not idle. In order to achieve this, the best way to go is to maintain a level that is neither too high and not too low. Not too high means the entity is not holding too much cash or liquid assets than it currently need to meet its short term financial obligation.

For example, not keeping too much cash in current account but investing them in interest-earning investment assets.

Not too low means the cash or liquid assets held by an entity should not less than the amount needed to meet its short term financial obligation. For example, making sure that the entity has enough cash or readily convertible liquid assets that can be used to pay vendors, rent, interest and meet other short term financial obligation.

Option B is false because keeping too much does not help to maximize short term earnings which is a feature of proper liquidity management. Option C is wrong because there is no guideline to support that deferring coupon payment won`t attract payment and this does not connote proper liquidity management.

Option D is obviously false and does not describe proper liquidity management.

Imagine you own a food truck that sells gourmet vegan tacos. You rely on many suppliers, all of which also supply their goods to
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because there are plenty of suppliers for some goods, the food truck owner is more powerful in this case than the suppliers. Here the power of suppliers is low

For the other goods with only a single supplier. the supplier has more powerful than the taco seller. here the power of supplier is high. If the supplier increases price, the taco seller would most likely have an inelastic demand and would be at the mercy of the supplier

thus, the  power of suppliers is relatively high for some items and relatively low for others.
