Answer:

Both focus on providing incentives to consumers or wholesalers to make an immediate purchase.

Explanation:

Trade sales promotion serves a purpose of taking products out of warehouses to points of retails where consumers can make purchases. The consumer sales promotion pulls customers into retail stores to promotional display units, giving shoppers the incentive to make an immediate purchase.

The Consumer sales promotion and trade sales promotions share a similarity. They are both used in helping to drive short-term consumer demand for products by giving consumers or wholesalers the incentive to purchase now or incentive to make an instant payment.

A. If Canace Company, with a break-even point at $259,000 of sales, has actual sales of $350,000, what is the margin of safety e

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Margin of safety in dollars is $91,000

Margin of safety as percentage of sales is 26%

Explanation:

Margin of safety can be defined as the amount of output or sales that a business can make before it reaches its breakeven point.

To calculate margin of safety in dollars

Margin of safety= Sales - Breakeven sales

Margin of safety= 350,000- 259,000

Margin of safety= $91,000

To calculate margin of safety as a percentage of sales, we use the following formula.

Margin of safety = (Sales- Breakeven point) ÷ Sales

Margin of safety = (350,000- 259,000)÷ 350,000

Margin of safety= 0.26= 26%

Sales (825*$1075) $886,875

less variable costs

Variable production cost($375*825) (309,375)

selling and admin. expense ($95,000)

Contribution margin $482,500

less fixed costs:

fixed production cost ($107,500)

selling and admin. expense ($135,000)

Net income $240,000

Net income under absorption was $25,000 more than the net income under the absorption costing, the difference is analyzed below:

Fixed product costs (1075-825)*$100=$25,000

That is the fixed production costs added to closing inventory under absorption method which was expensed under variable costing method

Suppose France can produce four phones or three computers with one unit of labor, and Sweden can produce one phone or two comput

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden

Explanation:

France can produce: 4 phones or 3 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (3 ÷ 4)

= 0.75 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (4 ÷ 3)

= 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce: 1 phone or 2 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (2 ÷ 1)

= 2 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (1 ÷ 2)

= 0.5 phones

According to the comparative advantage,

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because the opportunity cost of producing computers is lower for Sweden than for France.

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because the opportunity cost of producing phones is lower for France than for Sweden and import computers from Sweden because Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers.

Two online magazine companies reported the following in their financial statements: BetterWorth Outdoor Fun 2018 2017 2018 2017

Rudik [331]

Answer:

BetterWorth and Outdoor Fun ROE and P/E Ratio Analysis:

1-a) Computation of 2018 ROE for each company.

ROE = Return on Equity. It is a percentage of the net income over equity. It is best to use the average equity, if given two balance sheets. See explanation for further clarification.

Average Equity = Two balance sheets' equity divided by 2.

BetterWorth's Average Equity = (597,186 + 522,814) / 2 = 560,000

Outdoor Fun's Average Equity = (457,151 + 477,049) / 2 = 467,100

BetterWorth's 2018 ROE = 111,000 / 560,000 x 100 = 19.82%

Outdoor Fun's 2018 ROE = 92,420 / 467,100 x 100 = 19.79%

1-b) BetterWorth's appears to be generating greater returns on stockholders' equity in 2018. It generated 19.82% as against Outdoor Fun's 19.79%, especially with the use of average equity.

2-a) Computation of 2018 P/E Ratio for each company:

P/E Ratio = Price/Earnings Ratio. It is expressed as the market price per share divided by earnings per share.

BetterWorth's 2018 P/E Ratio = 54.90 : 3.4 = 16.15 : 1

Outdoor Fun's 2018 P/E Ratio = 33.05 : 2.30 = 14.37 : 1

2-b) Investors appear to value BetterWorth more than Outdoor Fun. This is because investors are ready to pay 16.15 times more for each unit of the earnings of BetterWorth. For Outdoor Fun, investors are only willing to pay 14.37 times more for each unit of its earnings.

Explanation:

A) ROE = Return on Equity. It is expressed as a percentage of net income over average equity. In the above calculations, we used the average equity. The reason is this: average equity smoothens the mismatch between the income statement and the balance sheet.

But, what does ROE measure? It measures a company's management effectiveness in using assets to make profits for shareholders.

Had we used the 2018 equity, Outdoor Fun would have appeared to have performed relatively better than BetterWorth over ROE.

B) P/E ratio relates a company's share price to its earnings. The P/E ratio shows that the company's stock is overvalued or undervalued. It depicts investors' confidence or lack of it in the company's ability to produce more or less earnings. Without earnings expectation, investors cannot price a company's stock highly. It is therefore a stock valuation tool widely used by financial analysts and investors.
