An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.
The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to: <u>34.5%</u>
<u>Explanation</u>:
<em><u>Given</u></em>:
Current salvage value = $15,000
Cost of new machine = $408,000
Cash operating cost = $141,000
Simple Return on Investment is Calculated as follows:-
Simple rate of return on the investment = Net Operating Cost Saved/ Initial Investment X 100
So Simple Return = 141000/408000 X 100
= 34.5%
The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to: 34.5%
Answer: $200,100
Explanation:
Given that,
Units sold = 15,000
Sales Revenue = $510,000
Purchases (excluding Freight In) = $310,500
Selling and Administrative Expenses = $36,000
Freight In = $15,900
Beginning Merchandise Inventory = $42,500
Ending Merchandise Inventory = $59,000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning Merchandise Inventory + Purchases + Freight In - Ending Merchandise Inventory
= $42,500 + $310,500 + $15,900 - $59,000
= $309,900
Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - Cost of goods sold
= $510,000 - $309,900
= $200,100
