Answer:

Answers are calculated below

Explanation:

Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows

CURRENT RATIO

Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000

Current ratio (2016) = 1.44

Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000

Current ratio (2017) = 1.50

ACID RATIO

Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities

Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000

Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78

Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/(360,000 ÷2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25

DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE

Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days

Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days

Working 1

Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable

Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times

Working 2

Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2

Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2

Average receivable (2016) = 138,288

Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2

Average receivable (2017) = 140,351

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Variable costs are part of direct expenses incurred in the production of goods meant for sales. Variable costs have a direct and proportionate relationship with the output level. An increase in output level increases variable costs. Examples of variable costs are packaging and raw materials.

The contribution margin is the dollar amount available from the sale of each unit to cater for fixed costs and profits. It is calculated by subtracting variable costs from the selling price. The contribution margin is used in determining the break-even point and the output level required to achieve desired profits.
