Selected information taken from the accounting records of Vigor Company follows:

MariettaO [177]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But the following calculations must be done

Account receivable turnover = Net sales ÷ average account receivable

5 = Net sales ÷ ($900,000 + $1,000,000) ÷ 3

5 = Net sales ÷ $950,000

Now the net sales is

= $950,000 × 5

= $4,750,000

And,

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ average of account receivable

4 = Cost of goods sold ÷ ($1,100,000 + $1,200,000) ÷ 3

4 = Cost of goods sold ÷ $1,150,000

Cost of goods sold

= $1,150,000 × 4

= $4,600,000

Now the gross profit is

a. The gross profit is

= Sales - cost of goods sold

= $4,750,000 - $4,600,000

= $150,000

2. The days sales outstanding in both the cases are as follows:

DSO in inventory

= 360 ÷ 4

= 90 days

And, DSO in account receivable

= 360 ÷ 5

= 72 days

Venzuela Company’s net income for 2020 is $50,000. The only potentially dilutive securities outstanding were 1,000 options issue

aev [14]

Answer:

$4.67 per share

Explanation:

The calculation of the diluted earning per share is given below:

= (Total income - preference dividends) ÷ (outstanding shares + diluted shares)

where,

Total income is $50,000

Outstanding shares is 10,000

And, the diluted shares is computed by following calculations

Amount paid towards shares = Options issued × Exercise price per share

= 1,000 × $6

= $6,000

And,

Value of options = Amount paid towards shares ÷ Current market price

= $6,000 ÷ $20

= 300

Therefore,

Diluted shares is

= Options issued - value of options

= 1,000 - 300

= 700

So Diluted Earnings per share is

= ($50,000) ÷ (10,000 + 700)

= $4.67 per share

algol [13]

Answer:

Developing countries are using less oil because of substantial investments in renewable energy.

Explanation:

Solution

From the given question, the statement that would weaken James argument is that, countries that are developing are using fewer oil because of substantial investments in renewable energy.

This shows that the demand is actually higher no matter if its in growing or developing country or a developed country and since his statement says that prices depend upon the demand, it actually supports it whereas the statement B is the only statement which is totally contradicting James statement as it doesn't talk about demand in developed country and also says that developing ones are demanding little of it.
