Marat540 [252]
Net sales/revenue = $752,000
Cost of goods sold (COGS) = $543,000
Net income = $17,530

To find the gross margin you will follow the equation:
gross margin = (revenue-COGS)/revenue 
gross margin = ($752,000-$543,000)/$757,000
gross margin = $209,000/$757,000
gross margin = .276, 27.6%

To find the operating expenses or OER you'll need to divide the companies operating expenses by the operating income.  This will yield in the operating expenses.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

17.83%

Explanation:

The computation of required rate of return is shown below:-

Required rate of return = ((Expected dividend ÷ (Current Stock price × (1 - Flotation cost as a percentage of issue price)) + Growth rate)) × 100

= ((Dividend × (1 + Growth rate)) ÷ Current Price of stock × (1 - Flotation cost as a percentage of issue price)) + Growth rate))) × 100

= ($3 × (1.04) ÷ $24 × (1 - 0.06) + 0.04) × 100

= ($3.12 ÷ $22.56 + 0.04) × 100

= (0.138297872  + 0.04) × 100

= 17.82978723

or

= 17.83%

Therefore we have applied the above formula.
