Answer:

Impact on Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets:

a) A company's Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets will increase from the 30% due to the 30% increase in sales.  This is because the Cost of Goods Sold remained constant.

b) Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets will decrease by 30% as a result of the increase in Property, Plant, and Equipment, because these also increased the operating and administrative expense, even though Sales and Cost of Goods Sold remained constant.

Explanation:

The net earnings to sales express the ratio of the net income to the sales revenue.  The net earnings are the result of deducting all costs from sales revenue.  The net earnings to total book assets are the same expression as the Return on Assets.

Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $300,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $20,000 of its sal
madam [21]

Answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Revenues = $300,000

Merchandise it purchased = $75,000

Salaries paid = $14,000

Owners invested = $23,000

Borrowed on a five-year note = $23,000

Interest paid = $3,000

Paid for a two-year insurance policy = $6,800

Income tax rate = 9%

Gross Margin = Revenues - Cost of Goods Sold

                       = $300,000 - $75,000

                       = $225,000

Profit before tax = Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest

                          = $225,000 - 14,000 - 3,400 - 3,000

                          = $204,600

Net Income = Profit before tax - Tax at 9%

                    = $204,600 - 18,414

                    = $186,186

A company is evaluating an investment which has an initial investment of $15,000. Expected annual net cash flows over four years
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

$850

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial investment = $15,000

Expected annual net cash flows over four years, R = $5,000

Return on the investment = 10% = 0.10

Present value of an annuity factor for 10% and 4 periods, PVAF = 3.1699

The present value of $1 factor for 10% and 4 periods = 0.6830

Now,

Net present value = [ R × PVAF ] - Initial investment

= [ $5,000 × 3.1699 ] - $ 15,000

= $15,849.50 - $ 15000

= $849.50 ≈ $850
