Answer:

Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100

1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:

Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)

Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100

= 21.2%

2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:

Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000

Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100

= 22.22%

3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:

Sales                                  $4,500,000

Variable costs                     3,600,000

Contribution                        $900,000

Controllable fixed costs        300,000

Net operating income        $600,000

Average operating assets 2,500,000

Return on Investment = $600,000/$2,500,000 x 100

= 24%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales                                  $4,000,000

Variable costs                     3,200,000

Contribution                        $800,000

Controllable fixed costs        300,000

Net operating income        $500,000

Average operating assets 2,500,000

Return on investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100 = $500,000/$2,500,000 x 100 = 20%

Contribution margin ratio = $800,000/$4,000,000 x 100 = 20%

The Atlantic Division's Return on Investment, as a performance measure, evaluates the efficiency of the investment in Atlantic Division.  This ratio is obtained by dividing the returns or benefits of the investment by the cost of the investment, and then multiplying by 100.

The chapter's "Continuity and Change" section mentions religious societies that advocated a return to strict and uncompromising
pogonyaev

Answer:

The Jesuits.

Explanation:

The Jesuits are a member of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, among others in 1534, to do missionary work. The order was opposed the Reformation. It has retained an important influence in Catholic thought and education, even though it has suffered periodic persecution.

The basic continuity in any human endeavor is found in the goals that it pursues, and in how we cope with the intentions of pursuing them. A society or a profession is recognizably one and the same throughout a long history because its pursuit of a goal is always the same. These goals may be looked at from two points of view, abstract values or as concrete embodiments of those values. The kind of change that we are experiencing today and the sort of adaptation that we are making seem to fall largely into the most profound kind of adaptation, both in the Church and in the Society of Jesus.

noname [10]

Answer:

The forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates is 1.13%

Explanation:

when dealing with inflation, we have that:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) * (1 + inflation rate)

                   inflation rate = 1.0144/1.0031 - 1

                                         = 1.13%

Therefore, The forecast inflation rate is implied by these interest rates is 1.13%
