Answer:
The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.
Explanation:
The incremental BCR can be determined using the following formula

8% , 10)
⇒ 
⇒
8%, 20)
⇒ 
⇒
= $203,704.42
Incremental initial investment = 203,704.42 - 149,029.49
= $ 54,674.93
Incremental benefits = 580,000 - 520,000 = 60,000
Incremental O&M = 75,000 - 80,000 = - $ 5000
Incremental Disbenefits = 140,000 - 90,000 =$ 50,000

All solving using the present worth method also incremental benefit cost ratio comes out to be 0.2743.
The incremental benefit cost ratio is less than 1 therefore we must select site 1.

Mercer, Inc. provides the following data for 2019:
Net Sales Revenue 598000
Cost of Goods Sold 350000
The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is ________. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
Explanation:
The gross profit is a profit earned by a business through its trading activity. It is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from the net sales revenue and it is the profit earned by a business before deducting any operating and non operating expenses of the business.
Gross profit = Net Sales - Cost of goods sold
Gross Profit = 598000 - 350000 = $248000
The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is,
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = Gross profit / Net Sales
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 248000 / 598000
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
