Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": capital turnover or sales margin.

Explanation:

Return on Investment, or ROI, measures the amount of return on an investment relative to the cost of investment. The return of an investment is divided by its cost to calculate ROI. The result is expressed as a percentage or as a ratio. Investments with positive ROI are likely to be successful while those with negative figures are possible to end up in losses.

To increase a division's ROI, the firm can increase the capital turnover (capital assets that allow the company to profit) or the sales margin (the difference between costs and the net profit of selling a unit of a product).

Answer:

The debit to the retained earning should be $750,000 for this transaction because that is the market value of the asset to be distributed as dividend.

Explanation:

Property dividend is a form of dividend payout that involves distribution of company`s assets to equity holders as a form of return. These assets can be inventory, marketable securities or investment in a subsidiary.

For this distribution to be formal, it must be approved by the board of directors of the company. After approved and declared, the accounting entries can now be passed.

The accounting entries needed are:

Debit: Retained Earnings with the amount of the asset distributed.

Credit: Dividend Payable with the amount of the asset distributed.

It is important to note that the market value of asset to be distributed should be considered i.e the market value of the asset must be recognized in the book. The difference in book value and market value of the investment will be recognized in respective asset ledger account prior transfer to retained earnings.So that the market value of the investment is recognized on the debit side of retained earnings

In the case of Fitzgerald, $750,000 will be debited to retained earnings since it is the market value of the asset to be distributed.

B. If 18,000 units are produced, what is the variable cost per unit?C. If 21,000 units are produced, what are the total variable

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Looking on the internet I found the necessary information to solve this problem:

Giving the following information:

Units= 16,000

Fixed Overhead= $5*16,000= 80,000

Direct material= 12

Direct labor= 9

Indirect material= 1 (part of overhead)

variable overhead= 2

B. Units= 18,000

Variable cost per unit= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead= 12 + 9 + (2+1)= 24

C. Units= 21,000

Total variable cost= unitary cost* number of units

TVC= 24*21,000= $504,000

D. Units= 11,000

TVC= 24*11,000= $264,000

E. Units= 19,000

Overhead= variable overhead + fixed overhead

Overhead= 3*19,000 + 80,000= $137,000

F. Units= 23,000

Total overhead= 3*23,000 + 80,000= $149,000

G. Units= 19,000

Unitary overhead= total overhead/ number of units

Unitary overhead= 3 + (80,000/19,000)= $7.21

H. Units= 25,000

Unitary overhead= 3 + (80,000/25,000)= $6.2
