Answer:

46.67%

Explanation:

Gross margin is the ratio of gross profit to the total sales. The gross profit is the difference between the sales and cost of goods sold. Other cost given such as land and selling and distribution cost make up assets and  operating expenses respectively.

Hence

Gross profit = $30,000 - $16,000

= $14,000

Gross margin = $14,000/$30,000

= 0.4667

The company's gross margin is 46.67%.

Buyer and seller prorations are often applied during real estate closing transactions to divide the cost of expenses like property taxes. Thus, the buyer gets a deduction for the prorated amount of property tax due after closing, and the seller gets the same deduction for the taxes.

Hence, both the buyer and seller receives the deduction for the real property tax.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Adjusted Bank Balance = $85,000

To adjust the bank balance, particulars that need to be subtracted or added to the bank statement balance has to be identified and treated accordingly.

For this example, the adjusted balance is calculated thus:

Adjusted bank balance = (Bank statement balance) - (outstanding checks) +(deposit in transit)

Adjusted Bank Balance = 78,000 - 2,400 + 9,400 = $85,000

deposit in transit is an income to the company that has not been credited yet, but that will be credited.
