Answer: -1.26%

Explanation:

We can solve for this using the following formula.

Return on Stock Market = Down figure of Index / ( Close figure of Index - down figure of Index)

So calculating we have,

Return on Stock Market = -98.34 / ( 7,447.50 - (-98.34))

Return on Stock Market = -98.34 / 7,545.84

Return on Stock Market = - 0.0126

Return on Stock Market = -1.26%

Decision makers and analysts look deeply into profitability ratios to identify trends in a company’s profitability. Profitabilit
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  • If a company has a profit margin of 10%, it means that the company earned a net income of $0.10 for each dollar of sales.  A 10% PROFIT MARGIN MEANS THAT THE COMPANY EARNED 10 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR OF REVENUE.
  • If a company's operating margin increases but its profit margin decreases, it could mean that the company paid more in interest or taxes.  OPERATING PROFIT = GROSS PROFIT - FIXED COSTS, NET PROFIT = OPERATING PROFIT - (INTERESTS AND TAXES). IF TAXES OR INTERESTS INCREASE, NET PROFITS DECREASE

Explanation:

there are several profitability ratios, the most important ones are:

  1. profit margin = net profit / total revenue
  2. gross profit margin = gross profit / total revenue
  3. return on equity = net income / total shareholder equity
  4. return on assets = net income / total assets

Explanation:

Direct materials costs of $ 935,750

Conversion costs of $ 4,554,000

Total Manufacturing Costs  $ 5489,750

                           Units                 % of Completion                EUP

                                                D.M         C.C                   D.M         C.C

Cost of Completed Units =$ 5138250

Direct Materials = 425,000 * 1.97= $ 837250

Conversion Costs = 425,000 *10.12= $ 4301,000

Total Cost of Manufacturing Units= $ 5138250

Cost of Units in the Ending Inventory           $ 604,500    

Direct Materials = 50,000 * 1.97= $ 98,500

Conversion Costs = 50,000 * 10.12= 506000

Total Costs                  $ 604,500

<h3>What Is Cost Flow?</h3>

The way or channel that costs move through a company is referred to as the flow of costs. The flow of costs typically pertains to manufacturing businesses where accountants are required to quantify expenses associated with raw materials, work in progress, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold.

Four commonly acknowledged methods—specific cost, average cost, first-in, first-out (FIFO), and last-in, first-out—are available for allocating expenses to ending inventory and cost of goods sold (LIFO).
