A division's return on investment may be improved by increasing:

Kisachek [45]4 years ago

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.

<em> </em>

<em>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).</em>

Karl runs a store that sells small and large space heaters. The large heaters sell for $250 each with unit variable costs of $12
umka2103 [35]

Answer: Karl must sell 1350 small heaters and 450 large heaters to break even.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

No.                                               Small Large     Total

1 Selling Price per unit                     80  250  

2 Variable Cost per unit                  30   120  

3 Number of units sold              2100   700       2800

4 Sales mix                                  3      1  

5 Total sales (1*3)                  168000   175000  

6 Total Variable Cost (2*3)   63000    84000  

7 Contribution Margin (5-6)  105000     91000      196000

Next we compute the Weighted Average Contribution Margin as follows:

\mathbf{WACM per unit = \frac{Total Contribution Margin}{Total number of units sold}}

\mathbf{WACM per unit= \frac{196000}{2800} = 70}

Now, Break even point (BEP) is computed as

\mathbf{BEP = \frac{Total Fixed Costs}{WACM per unit}}

\mathbf{BEP = \frac{126000}{70} = 1800 units}

Since the large and small heaters are sold in the 3:1 ratio, we can find the number of large and small heaters to be sold in order to achieve the break even point at 1800 units.

No. of small heaters = BEP * \frac{3}{4}

No. of small heaters = 1800 * \frac{3}{4} = 1350 units

No. of large heaters = BEP * \frac{1}{4}

No. of large heaters = 1800 * \frac{1}{4} = 450 units

Drupady [299]

Answer: $246,000

Explanation:

Merchandise costing $20,000 had been omitted from the Ending Inventory.

Ending inventory is deducted from Cost of Goods sold which means that the Cost of Goods sold was overstated by $20,000.

Cost of Goods sold are subtracted from sales to find Gross Income so if it was overstated then Income was understated by $20,000.

Accrued Revenue is to be added to Income so if it was omitted then income was understated by $50,000.

Income in total was therefore understated by = 20,000 + 50,000

= $70,000

The correcting entry is net of tax so;

= 70,000 * ( 1 - 20%)

= $56,000

Retained earnings will therefore be;

= 190,000 + 56,000

= $246,000

For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is true or false for a country that exports a good abroad. Statement T
makkiz [27]

- The greater the elasticity of supply, the grater the gains from trade.

<u>TRUE. </u>

This situation is true because in an elastic supply situation there is a decrease in prices and an increase in demand, so total surpluses increase and generate more gains to trade.

- If supply is perfectly inelastic, the fall in consumer surplus would exceed the rise in producer surplus.

<u>FALSE</u>

It is false because In a perfectly inelastic supply situation, the quantity of demand does not change even if prices change.

- Producers can still benefit from trade even if supply is perfectly inelastic.

<u>FALSE</u>

It is false because in a perfectly inelastic supply situation the beneficiary will be the consumer, as prices will not change and consumer surplus will increase.
