Answer:
a. in order to calculate this we must assume that the economy entered a recession:
degree of operating leverage = [($20 - $70)/$70] / [($260 - $520)/$520] = -0.7143 / -0.5 = 1.43
b. $14 million
Explanation:
strong economy:
total sales $520 million
<u>variable costs $420 million</u>
gross profit $100 million
<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>
EBIT $70 million
<u>income taxes $21 million</u>
net income $49 million
weak economy:
total sales $260 million
<u>variable costs $210 million</u>
gross profit $50 million
<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>
EBIT $20 million
<u>income taxes $6 million</u>
net income $14 million
Answer:
<u>Company's total inventory</u> 30,850
Camaras: 10,960
Camcorders: 8,850
DVDs: 11,040
Explanation:
<u>Camaras: </u>
cost: 10,960
net realizable value: 12,060
<u>Camcorders: </u>
cost: 8,850
net realizable value: 9,170
<u>DVDs: </u>
cost: 12,100
net realizable value: 11,040
<u>Company's total inventory</u>
10,960 + 8,850 + 11,040 = 30,850
We must pick between the historic cost or the net realizable value the lower. The reasoning behind this is the conservatism accounting principle to keep the assets valued at minimum.
Answer:
LCM = $15.5
Explanation:
RC = $14
Ceiling: NRV = $17
Floor: NRV – PM
Net realizable value for product ALPHA -Normal profit for product ALPHA
= $17 – $1.50= $15.5
Market= $15.5
LCM = $15.5
Therefore the proper per unit inventory value for product ALPHA applying LCM will be $15.5
Fitzgerald wanted his novel to be mysterious. He need not give out all the information because he wanted the readers to be suspenseful regarding the story. Gatsby doesn't understand how he isn't welcome because he's too naive for thinking he is important.
