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%.

What is the yield to maturity (YTM) on a simple loan for $1,500 that requires a repayment of $15,000 in five years’ time?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Yield to maturity = 58.5%

Explanation:

<em>The yield to maturity on the loan can be worked out using  the Future value of a lump sum formula.  </em>

<em>The future value of a lump sum is the amount it would amount to if interest is earned and compounded at a certain interest rate.  </em>

The formula is

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)  

PV = Present Value- 1,500

FV - Future Value, - 15,000

n- number of period- 5=

r- yield to maturity ?  

15,000 = 1,500× (1+r)^(5)

(1+r)^(5) =15,000/1,500 =10

(1+r)^(5) =10

1+r = 10^(1/5)

r= 10^(1/5) -1 = 0.5848

r = 0.5848 × 100 = 58.5%

r=58.5%

Yield to maturity = 58.5%

Difference between compulsory and non-compulsory insurance
leva [86]
Compulsory insurance is a type of insurance that is required by law before you can engage in specific activities. This kind of insurance is meant to protect you from harm in some way, an example would be the legal requirement to have auto insurance to drive a car or having health insurance in the United States.

Non compulsory insurance is pretty much everything that you are not required to have, insurance such as travel insurance, life insurance, phone insurance, etc. Although it is a good idea to get these, they are not required.

Non compulsory basically means voluntary while compulsory means required.

An empty lot is located in a neighborhood of single-family homes. It is the only empty lot in this well-maintained neighborhood.
yuradex [85]

Answer: D - A single-family home

Explanation:

Highest and best use can be described as the use of a vacant site that creates the highest value after construction costs and alternative uses of the vacant lot has been sybtracted. The area where the empty lot is located is residential, therefore it would be inappropriate to situate a factory there. Also a store is located nearby,so it would be unnecessary to build a store on the empty land. Same goes with a parking lot, a parking lot shouldn't be situated in a residential area; it would not be needed in a residential area.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1. Material $1,490

Conversion $1,490

2. Material $1,490

Conversion $1,166

3.Cost of units transferred out $4,842

Cost of ending Work in process $1,838

4. $6,680

Explanation:

1.Computation of the Equivalent unit of production for material

Beginning Work In Process 400

Add Started during the year 1,090

Units to be accounted 1,490

Computation of the Equivalent unit of production for Conversion cost

Completed and transferred 950

(1,090+400 -540)

Add ending work in process 540

Units to be accounted for 1,490

2)Calculation for the unit costs of production for materials

Production units Materials

Completed& transferred 950 100% =950

Add Ending work in process 540 100%=540

Total 1,490 1,490

Calculation for the unit costs of production for conversion costs

Completed& transferred 950 100%=950

Add Ending work in process 540 40% =216

Total 1,490 1,166

3)Calculation for the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process

Equivalent cost per unit Materials Conversion Cost Total

Beginning work in process

760 590 =1,350

Cost added during the year

2,630 2,700 =5,330

(1,590+1,110=2,700)

Total cost

3,390 3,290 6,680

÷Equivalent units of production 1,490 1,166

=Equivalent cost per unit

2.275 2.822

Cost of units transferred out=

950× (2.275+2.822)

Cost of units transferred out=950×5.097

Cost of units transferred out= 4,842

Cost of ending Work in process

Direct materials 540×2.275 =1,228

Conversion cost 216×2.822= 610

Total (1,228+610)= 1,838

4)Preparation of a production cost report for the month of July for the basketballs.

Production Cost Report

Direct Materials 1,350

Add cost added during the year 5,330

Cost to be accounted for 6,680

Cost to be accounted for

Cost transferred out 4,842

950× (2.275+2.822)

Add cost of ending WIP 1,838

Total 6,680
