DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

South Tel Communications is considering the purchase of a new software management system. The system is called B-image, and it is expected to drastically reduce the amount of time that company technicians spend installing new software. South Tel's technicians currently spend 6,000 hours per year on installation which cost South Tel $25 per hour. The owners of the B-image system claim that their software can reduce time on task by at least 25%. The system requires an initial investment of $55,000 and an additional investment of$10,000 for technician training on the new system. Annual upgrades will cost the firm $15,000 per year. Because the investment is comprised of software, it can be fully expensed in the year of the expenditure (no depreciation). South Tel faces a 30% tax rate and uses a 9% cost of capital to evaluate projects of this type.

A. Assuming that South Tel has sufficient taxable income from other projects so that it can immediately expense the cost of the software, what are the free cash flows for the project for years zero through five?

Total (65,000)

Cash flow year 1 - 5

Saving on installations per year 450,000

Less: Annual upgrades ( 15,000)

Total 435,000

Less: Tax (30%) (130,500);

Total project free cash flow 304,500.answer

Assume personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates. From a tax-paying shareholder point of view, how should a firm spe
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: e. repurchase shares

Explanation:

If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.

The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: The third option (option C) is the right answer.

Explanation:

The paragraph which has the best coherence is option C. This is because in the case of the third option, it explains that the flow of ideas is constant from one sentence to another.

The first sentence serves as an introduction which talked about the reasons why duties should be divided based on each member’s expertise. The sentences moved smoothly and also logically from one sentence to another sentence. An example is the sentence that “if your company does not have a public relations executive…..”. This should logically proceed the sentence that says that communication ought to be overseen by the director of PR.

This shows that the third option possesses a consistent and logical train of thought as well.
