Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales = $700,000
Beginning total assets = $240,000
Ending total assets = $280,000
The asset turnover ratio refers to the ratio of sales to the average total assets.
Average total assets:
= (Beginning total assets + Ending total assets) ÷ 2
= ($240,000 + $280,000) ÷ 2
= $260,000
Therefore, the asset turnover ratio is as follows:
= Sales ÷ Average total assets
= $700,000 ÷ $260,000
= 2.69
Answer:
The company should buy from an outside source rahter than manufacturing because each bottle manufactured costs $5 more.
Explanation:
Differential Analysis
Make Buy
Manufacturing Cost per bottle $ 67
Purchasing Cost per bottle $35
Freight per bottle $ 5
<u>Fixed Costs $ 22 </u>
<u>Total $ 67 $62 </u>
<u />
The company should buy the bottles from the outside source because the manufacturing costs are higher than the purchasing costs and the fixed costs.
The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.
Answer:
D) being original
Explanation:
An advertising copy is the main text or phrase used in an advertisement.
The copy used in this commercial is original, specially given the context. Generally advertisements show the product that is being advertised, not a substitute product (cow meat is substitute to chicken meat). This ad tries to be funny in showing that cows prefer people eating chicken instead of them.
Answer:
$3,168
Explanation:
We will receive $4000 in future (after 4 years time) which means all we want to know is the amount that we Derek must deposit today.
This present value of the $4000 payment received after 4 years from today can be calculated using the following formula:
Present value = Future Value / (1 + r)^n
Here
Future Value is $4000
r is 6%
n is 4 years
So by putting values, we have:
Present value = $4000 / (1 + 6%)^4 Years
Present value = $3,168
Answer:
A) leveraging new core competencies to improve current market position.
Explanation:
As is given in the scenario, the people that the company Ancho is trying to get are <em>potential customers</em> rather than existing, hence they cannot be said to be building new core competencies <em>to protect and extend current market position</em>. That would have been the case if they were trying to keep those that were already customers to the company.
Ancho cannot also be said to be <em>redeploying existing core competencies to compete in future markets </em>because they are actually acquiring new competencies in electric car manufacturing which was not their original line of business.
There is also no case of <em>unlearning existing core competencies </em>because Anchor has deployed existing competencies in developing a hybrid car rather than just an electric one.
Hence Anchor is trying to get new customers while keeping the old ones and has made a car that will appeal to both existing and potential customers to improve current market position.
