What are the business debts called?

Sapien Corporation has provided the following data for the most recent year: Sales $1,340,000 Gross margin $460,000 Net operatin

natima [27]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $1,340,000

Gross margin = $460,000

Net operating income = $54,846

Net income before taxes = $41,846

Net income = $27,200

Gross margin percentage is calculated by dividing the gross margin with sales.

Gross margin percentage:

= (Gross margin ÷ Sales ) × 100

= (460,000 ÷ 13,40,000) × 100

= 34.3 % (Approx)

Discuss how structural dimensions of the firm, including formalization, standardization, and centralization, can affect the firm

Andreyy89

Explanation:

A company's organizational structure can be defined as the organization of the company's activities so that it operates more efficiently and effectively and achieves its objectives and goals.

Therefore, the structural dimensions of a company including formalization, standardization and centralization will directly influence the innovation of an organization in relation to several variables such as its internal environment, processes, products and services, as there are organizational structures that are more focused on innovation than others, such as the horizontal structure in relation to the vertical, since the vertical structure is the most rigid and with a higher hierarchy, while in the horizontal structure there is greater autonomy of employees and greater participation in the decision-making process, which is a more flexible environment open to innovation.

Suppose that Marie is buying bananas. She decides that she would like to purchase three bananas at the price of $0.25 per banana

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Marginal thinking

Explanation:

The economic foundation of marginal thinking requires decision-makers to evaluate whether the benefit of one more unit of something is greater than its cost. And according to this principle, Marie´s benefits of the first three bananas is higher than its cost, but the fourth banana will provide less benefit than the third and this is less than it cost.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

(a) The deposit should be <u>$168.06 </u>quarterly.

(a) The deposit should be <u>$145.32 </u>quarterly.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

An investor needs $11,000 in 19 years.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

The explanations to the answers are now given as follows:

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

Since the amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 7% / 4 = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0175)^44 - 1] / 0.0175}

11,000 = M * 65.4531536741798

M = 11,000 / 65.4531536741798

M = $168.06

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

We make use of equation (1) in part (a) as follows:

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 9.4% / 4 = 0.094 / 4 = 0.0235

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0235)^44 - 1] / 0.0235}

11,000 = M * 75.6957891651599

M = 11,000 / 75.6957891651599

M = $145.32

Think about your decision to buy the textbook for this course. You paid $250 for the book, but you would have been willing to pa

mart [117]

If the questions are “would I choose to buy the book in the first place”, and “Would I sell the book at the end of the course”, the answer to both questions is yes. The benefit of buying the book for the course is $400 dollars, which is greater than the sales price of $250. Thus, I would buy the book. At the end of the course, the benefit of keeping the book is $50, while my potential sales price is $125 (50% of 250). Thus, I can sell the book for more than it is worth to me, so I will sell the book at the end of the course.
