B. Acid-test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory/Current Liabilities

= $24,600/$13,000

= 1.89 : 1

C. Gross margin ratio = Gross margin/Net Sales x 100

= $70,750/$110,950 x 100

= 63.77%

Total Liabilities + Equity                         $ 59,775

a) Nelson Company's current ratio is the measure of the company's ability to settle maturing short-term liabilities with short-term financial resources.  It is is measured as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.

b) Nelson's acid-test ratio takes away the encumbrances that can slow the conversion of current assets into cash for the settlement of current liabilities.  In this case, the inventory, stores supplies, and prepaid insurance are excluded.

c) Nelson has a robust gross margin ratio of more than 60%.  This means that it is able to limit the cost of goods sold to below 40%.  However, management of Nelson Company is unable to control its periodic costs in order to generate reasonable net income, as it can only turn less than 9% of the sales into returns for J. Nelson.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Multiplier = 3.33

Explanation:

Investment / Spending Multiplier denotes increase in Income multiple times increase in causal Investment.

Multiplier = Change in Income / Change in Investment = 1 / 1 - MPC

<em>M</em> = ΔY/ΔI = 1/ (1-MPC)

At Equilibrium, Investment = Savings = 750. Change in Investment = 900 - 750 = 150. Change in Income = 500.

M = 500/150 = 3.33

3.33 = 1/(1-MPC)

MPC = 0.70

How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be ac
professor190 [17]

Answer:

We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.

In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.
