Eastevan Company calculated its return on investment as 10 percent. Sales are now $300,000, and the amount of total operating as

sets is $320,000. Required If expenses are reduced by $28,000 and sales remain unchanged, what return on investment will result? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (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? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

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

Mervon Company has two operating departments: Mixing and Bottling. Mixing occupies 26,220 square feet. Bottling occupies 17,480
nordsb [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Mixing department occupies = 26,220 square feet

Bottling department occupies = 17,480 square feet.

Total maintenance costs = $204,000

Computation of total area:

Total area = (26,220 + 17,480) square feet

Total area = 43,700 square feet

Computation of mixing department maintenance costs:

Mixing department maintenance costs = Total maintenance costs(Mixing department area / Total area)

Mixing department maintenance costs = $204,000(26,220 / 43,700)

Mixing department maintenance costs = $204,000(0.6)

Mixing department maintenance costs = $122,400

Computation of bottling department maintenance costs:

Bottling department maintenance costs = Total maintenance costs(Bottling department area / Total area)

Bottling department maintenance costs = $204,000(17,480 / 43,700)

Bottling department maintenance costs = $204,000(0.4)

Bottling department maintenance costs = $81,600

Answer:

Congruent triangles has the two angles of one of their sides equal

This means if a triangle side has angles of 30 and 60 degrees the other triangle also has 30 and 60 degrees.

An isoceles triangle will have 2 angles of the same degree. Thus, If triangle A is isoceles then, two angles add up to make the third equal to one these two.

We should remember that angles inside a triangle always add up to 180ª

2a +b = 180

a + b = 180 - a

if the other triangle has 2 angles mathing the isoceles triangle, then it is also  an isoceles.

Uploaded an image of an isoceles triangle to understand better.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

  a) 120 skiers per day

  b) 6.25% increase in revenue

Explanation:

a) If the average skier stays 10 days, the average turnover is 1/10 of the skiers per day, or 1200/10 = 120 skiers per day.

__

b) For a stay of n days, the average skier spends ...

  50 +(n-1)30 = 20 +30n

and the average spending per day is ...

  (20 +30n)/n = (20/n) +30

So, for a 10-day stay, the average skier spends in restaurants ...

  20/10 +30 = 32 . . . . per day

And for a 5-day stay, the average skier will spend ...

  20/5 +30 = 34 . . . . per day

The change in restaurant revenue is expected to be ...

  (34 -32)/32 × 100% = 2/32 × 100% = 6.25%

Restaurant revenues will be 6.25% higher compared to last year.
