b) Operating Expense was more by 1.3% than industry average.

d) Other expenses were more by 0.3% just as e) net operating income was less by 3.4% when compared to the industry average.

f) The Roost uses less working capital in current assets than the industry average by 3.5%.  g) Although, fixed assets were used more than the industry average by 2%.  The suggested indication here is that the Roost operates more with manual labour than capital.  This explains its more than average expenses and less profit generation.  This is an inefficiency factor signalled by these results.  However, this looks to have been offset by its investment in intangibles and other assets more than the industry averages.

g) For the liabilities, the Roost operates with less short-term credit leverage than the industry average, showing that it could be paying its suppliers earlier than other entities in the industry.  It should take full advantage of discounts offered by suppliers, but this does not reflect to be the case in the financials.

h) On the other hand, the Roost relies more on long-term credit than the industry average, just as it has less equity than the industry average.  The long-term leverage is higher for Roost than other companies.

Explanation:

1. To calculate the percentages for the Roost, each financial statement element was divided by the base in each category.  The performance and position differences showed the variances between the company and the industry average.

2. The comparison was limited to industry average.  The company's performance and position could also be compared over time to ascertain noticeable improvements in the indexes.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

 b. There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

Famous Farm's payables deferral period (PDP) is 50 days (on a 365-day basis), accounts payable are $100 million, and its balance
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

5.84

Explanation:

The formula for inventory turnover is

= Cost of goods sold / Inventory

However, we need to calculate first sales, using PDP equation, which is given as;

PDP = Receivables / [ Cost of goods sold / 365 ],

Alternatively,

Cost of goods sold =

365 [Payables] / DSO

Where ;

Payable = $100m

DSO = 50 days

Inventory = $125m

= (365 * $100) / 50

= $730m

Recall inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Inventory

= $730m / $125m

= 5.84
