Answer:

the total contribution margin if Bricktan chooses the most profitable sales mix is $27,000,000

Explanation:

It is important to note that the limiting factor identified is the production hours.

<em>Step 1 Calculate Contribution per limiting factor of each product</em>

Basic

1 unit requires 0.1 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $15/0.10

                                                    = $150

Classic

1 unit requires 0.125 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $25/0.125

                                                    = $200

Deluxe

1 unit requires 0.25 hours

Contribution per limiting factor = Contribution per unit / Quantity of limiting factor per unit

                                                    = $55/0.25

                                                    = $220

<em>Step 2 Rank the products </em>

1st = Deluxe

2nd = Classic

3rd = Basic

<em>Step 3 Determine the production mix</em>

Product                  Total hours demanded                Balance

Capacity                                                                       134,000

Deluxe                   (230,000×0.25) =  57,500             76,500

Classic                   (508,000×0.125) = 63,500             13,000

Basic                      (130,000×0.1)     =  13,000                  0

<em>Step 4 Calculate total contribution</em>

Deluxe                   (230,000×$55) =  12,650,000          

Classic                   (508,000×$25) =  12,700,000            

Basic                      (130,000×$15)   =  1,650,000

Total                                                 =  27,000,000

Although Costco pays its employees substantially more than its closest competitor, Sam’s Club, it has similar financial returns
yuradex [85]

Although Costco pays its employees substantially more than its closest competitor, Sam’s Club, it has similar financial returns on its labor costs due to lower turnover and higher levels of productivity

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

While Costco costs its workers slightly more than its closest competitor, Sam's Club, Costco pays higher prices in order to recruit more professionals and to provide better customer service due to lower turnover and a similar financial return.

Direct costs involve wages for staff making a product and employees on the production line, while indirect costs apply to assistance, such as employees repairing factory equipment.

When labor costs are wrongly distributed or measured, the price of goods or services may be changed from their actual costs and profits from losses.

The following summarized data (amounts in millions) are taken from the September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, comparative f
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Apple Inc.

a. Calculate Apple Inc.'s working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio at September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your ratio answers to 1 decimal place. Enter "Working capital" in million of dollars.)

September 2014:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $45,660,000 - $34,978,000 = $10,682,000

b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 - 930 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

September 2013:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $41,940,000 - $21,160,000 = $20,780,000

b) Current Ratio  = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 / $21,160 = 2 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 -1,200 / $21,160 = 1.9 : 1

b. Calculate Apple's ROE for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $26,050/$77,290 x 100 = 33.7%

September 2013

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $14,160/$48,050 x 100 = 29.5%

c. Calculate Apple's ROI, showing margin and turnover, for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round "Turnover" answers to 2 decimal places. Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROI = Margin x Turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($33,950/$108,400) x ($108,400/$120,880)

= 0.31 x 0.90

= 0.279 = 27.9%

Average Assets = $120,880 ($147,820 + 93,940) /2

September 2013

ROI = margin = turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($18,530/$65,370) x ($65,370/$70,880)

= 0.28 x 0.92

= 0.258 = 25.8%

Average Assets = $70,880 ($93,940 + 47,820) /2

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.  It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity.  Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health.  A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run.  Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.

c) ROE means Return on equity.  It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity.   Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets.  As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.

d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments.  ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost.  As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.

$459 into an investment at 5% for six years. What will the balance be at the end of six years?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

A=615.10

Explanation:

The balance after six years is the future value of 459 at a 5% interest rate.

The applicable formula is

A= P( 1+ r )^n

A = amount after six years

P= 459

r=5%

N=6 year

A= 459(1+5/100)^6

A = 459(1.05)^6

A=459 x 1.34

A=615.06

A=615.10
