Answer:
B) $114,000
Explanation:
To calculate the operating cash flows using the top down approach we can use the following equation:
operating cash flow = increase in total sales - increase in total expenses - increase in taxes paid
operating cash flow = $975,000 - $848,000 - ($154,000 - $141,000) = $975,000 - $848,000 - $13,000 = $114,000
I didn't include depreciation since it is normally included to calculate the increase in taxes but taxes were already given.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
Answer:
sales is $2,500,000
Explanation:
The target sales for the company to achieve a net income of $450,000 in the current year equals the net income plus variable cost plus the fixed costs.
To understand this better,let us use the net income formula:
net income=sales-variable costs-fixed costs
by changing the subject of the formula,we the formula for sales:
sales=net income+variable costs+fixed costs
variable costs=sales*70%=0.7 sales
sales=$450,000+$300,000+0.7 sales
sales-0.7 sales=$750,000
0.3 sales=$750,000
sales=$750,000/0.3=$2,500,000
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": it yields a larger variety of solutions than generally available using an LP method.
Explanation:
In Goal Programming (GP), the MINIMAX objective aims to minimize the maximum deviation from any type of objective. This approach carries a larger number of solutions compared to the Linear Programming (LP) method which mainly focuses on assigning more weight to each goal in the objective function.
