Answer:

ROE  = 16.98%

Explanation:

The question is to determine Amer Company's Return on Equity

The following steps are taken:

1) The Total Debt ÷ Total Assets = 35%

It means Total Debt ÷  1000= 0.35

Meaning 0.35 x $1,000 = $350 and this is the total debt

2) Calculate Interest on debt

Interest on debt = Interest rate on total debt x total debt

= 4.57% x $350 = $16

3) Now calculate the Net Income from Earnings before Interest and Tax

Earnings before Interest and tax = $200

less interest                                       $16

Earnings Before Tax                       $184

Subtract tax (40% of EBT)                 $73.6

Net income                                       $110.4

4) Calculate the Return on Equity

= Net income/ Shareholders' Equity

= $110.4/ ($1,000-$300)

= 16.98%

lakkis [162]

Answer:

1.Cost of direct material used =$168000

2.cost of  direct labor used =$100000

3.Cost of goods manufactured =$396800

4.cost of goods sold =$422100

5.Gross profit = $577900

6.Under applied factory overhead =$84000

Explanation:

Direct labour= (D/L)

Direct material = (D/M)

Factory overhead =( FOH)

Raw material used = material (open) +purchased -material (end)

                               = 30000+194000-56000

                              = 168000.

Entry:  Dr work in process  168000

                   Cr raw material          168000

Manufacturing cost = Raw material used + direct labor cost + factory overhead.

                        = 168000+100000+(16000+23000+100000) = $407000.

COGM= Manufacturing cost+work in process (open)-work in process (end)

          = 407000+9900 - 20100 = $396800.

Applied factory overhead= direct labor * predetermined rate

                                          = 100000*55% = $55000.

entry: Dr  work in process  55000

               Cr Applied factory overhead   55000.

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods manufactured + finished goods (open) -finished goods (end).

                             = 396800+59000-33700 =$422100.

                                             T-account

            ---- bal figure 168000                             168000  --   bal fig 312800.

Actual factory overhead = $139000

Applied factory overhead =$<u>55000</u>

Under applied factory overhead = 84000.

Sales =                                                                                             1000000

Less cost of goods sold =                                                             (<u>422100</u>)

Gross profit                                                                                    577900

AlladinOne [14]

Answer: $1531

olga55 [171]

Answer:

<h2>In this instance,Home Movies Inc. took advantage of market expansion opportunity to enhance market share.Hence,the correct answer is market expansion.</h2>

Explanation:

In Microeconomics,the practice of market expansion refers to the enhancement of business activities or selling of goods and services into newer sections of the market which encompasses factors such as demographic,economic,geographical,social etc.In this context,the geographical expansion of market can possibly include international markets as well as long it can comprehensively cover the desired consumer group which can lead to higher revenue generation and potential market share.It is an extremely formidable economic strategy for any business organisation or company to expand the consumer accessibility by tapping into new geographical areas in the global or international market.An effective market expansion,however, requires a thorough and considerable market research with a specific emphasis on the the potential new markets that the existing business can easily reach and the new consumer base in those markets who will most probably like the products and/or services sold by the business based on various preferential attributes.This can evidently generate immense opportunities for sales and overall economic growth.
