Explanation:
Subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales will give you gross profit. The reason of high gross profit could be company is able to sell its products at a higher price or it is able to keep its cost of goods sold at a lower level than industry standards.
A higher-than-industry-average gross profit margin increases your chances of generating a net profit provided that you are able to keep your expenses within industry average levels.
Operating profit is the pre-tax profit or in other words it is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from the gross profit. Operating profit margin is equal to operating income divided by the total revenue. A lower operating margin despite of having higher gross profit is because the company is not able to control its operating expenses or in other words they are incurring higher operating expenses as compare to industry.
Answer:
Explanation:
Pretax cost of debt is the annual rate(YTM) of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate it;
N = 5*2 = 10
PV = -(95% *10,000,000) = -9,500,000
Coupon PMT = (6%/2)*10,000,000 = 300,000
FV = 10,000,000
then compute semiannual rate; CPT I/Y = 3.604%
convert to annual rate = 3.604*2 = 7.21%(this is the pretax cost of debt)
After tax cost of debt is calculated because interest payable on debt has tax shield. The formula is as follows;
Aftertax cost of debt = pretax cost of debt (1-tax)
AT cost of debt = 7.21% (1-0.40)
AT cost of debt = 4.33%

Explanation:
Ruby estimates that only 2% of its 2019 credit sales will be written off
Ruby Red has a $12,800 credit balance in its allowance for doubtful accounts
Ruby Red has credit sales of $1,570,000.
Bad debt expense = Credit sales * 2% of its 2019 credit sales
Bad debt expense = $1,570,000 * 2/100
Bad debt expense = $1,570,000 * 0.02
Bad debt expense = $31,400
