Answer:
4.83 times
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory turnover is shown below:
= Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
where,
Average inventory = Raw material inventory + work in progress inventory + finished goods inventory
= $740 + $320 + $1,010
= $2,070
And, the cost of good sold is $10,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= $10,000 ÷ $2,070
= 4.83 times
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A manufacturer of mountain bikes has the following marginal cost function:
where q is the quantity of bicycles produced.
When calculating the marginal revenue and marginal profit in this problem, use the approach given for the marginal cost and marginal revenue in the discussions in your textbook.
a) If the fixed cost in producing the bicycles is $2800, find the total cost to produce 30 bicycles?
b) If the bikes are sold for $200 each, what is the profit (or loss) on the first 30 bikes?
Solution :
Given :
a). Fixed cost, FC = $ 2800
Total cost to produce 30 bicycles is :
![$= 2800+700\left[\frac{\ln (0.7q+8)}{0.7}\right]^{30}_0$](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%3D%202800%2B700%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B%5Cln%20%280.7q%2B8%29%7D%7B0.7%7D%5Cright%5D%5E%7B30%7D_0%24)
![$=2800+1000[\ln ((0.7 \times 30)+8)- \ln 8 ]$](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%3D2800%2B1000%5B%5Cln%20%28%280.7%20%5Ctimes%2030%29%2B8%29-%20%5Cln%208%20%5D%24)
![$= 2800 +1000 [\ln 29 - \ln 8]$](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%3D%202800%20%2B1000%20%5B%5Cln%2029%20-%20%5Cln%208%5D%24)
= 2800 + 1287.85
= $ 4087.85
b). Total selling price = $ (200 x 30)
= $ 6000
Profit = 6000 - 4087.85
= $ 1912.15
Answer:
1. Which of the excluded items represent ongoing costs of running the business and which are one-time "special" costs?
it depends on the company and the actual transactions, e.g. equity based compensation might be a one time special cost because it occurred only once and is doubtful that it happens again. But if the company regularly rewards its top managers with this type of compensation, then it is an ongoing cost. E.g. Tesla awarded a HHHHUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEE bonus to Elon Musk (worth hundreds of millions) but it was a one time event. While many companies use equity compensation on a regular basis.
Severance and related employee "rebalancing" costs generally take place when a company fires a lot of people because it is cutting down some division or product line. Hopefully, they should never happen, and if they do, it should be only a one time event.
Fees paid to consultants and interest expenses are ongoing costs that will probably occur in the future.
Losses related to the abandonment of excess facility space and a facility fire should be one time events. It would be really bad for them to keep happening (same as severance and rebalancing costs)
