Answer:

7.47 times

Explanation:

The computation of operating leverage is shown below:-

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs)

= ($1,896,000 - $804,000 - $180,000) ÷ ($1,896,000 - $804,000 - $180,000 - $520,000 - $270,000)

= $912,000 ÷ $122,000

= 7.47 times

The (Sales - Variable costs) = Contribution margin

The  (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs) = EBIT

The correct answer is 7.47 times.Therefore, the option is not available.

Dove, Inc., had additions to retained earnings for the year just ended of $643,000. The firm paid out $40,000 in cash dividends,
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Earnings for the year = Addition to retained earnings + Dividend paid = $643,000 + $40,000 = $683,000

a. Earnings per share = Earnings / No of shares = $683,000 / 750,000 = 0.91

Dividend per share = Dividend / No of shares = $40,000 / 750,000 = 0.05

Book value per share = Ending equity / No of shares = $7,380,000 / 750,000 = $9.84

b. Market price per share is 30.8. Market to book ratio = $30.80 / $9,84 = $3.13

c. Price earning ratio = $30.80/$0.91 = $33.82

Total sales = $10,680,000, Sales per share = 14.24

Price sales ratio = Market price / Sales = $30.80 / $14.24 = $2.16

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a. The preparation of partial amortization is shown below:-

b. $2,892

Explanation:

a. Date Lease  Effective        Decrease in  Outstanding              

             payment     interest           balance          balance

July 1                                                                           $150,000

July 1     $5,376                                  $5,376             $144,624

                                                                                ($150,000 - $5,376)

Oct 1      $5,376       $2,892              $2,484              $142,140

                                                       ( $5,376 - $2,892) ($144,624 - $2,484)

b. Interest expense on October 1 = $2,892

Working Note:-

Take the outstanding balance times 2% (8% annual = 2% quarterly)

So, the Effective interest = $144,624 × 0.02

= $2,892.48

olga55 [171]

Answer:

The number of mugs Fiwrt should plan on producing during the month of November is 35400 units of mugs.

Explanation:

Production unit (november) = Sale unit + Desired ending inventory-Beginning inventory

                                               = 36000 + (34000*30%) - (36000*30%)

                                              = 35400 Units

Therefore, The number of mugs Fiwrt should plan on producing during the month of November is 35400 units of mugs.

Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta of th
pentagon [3]

Answer (A):

Need more data to select the better adviser

<u>Explanation: </u>

Adviser A averaged 19% return on the investment which is more than that of Adviser B who averaged 16% return on investment. However, adviser A has a beta of 1.5 which is also greater than that of Adviser B who has a beta of 1. This means that adviser A made a more riskier investment and hence a higher average return on investment. We need more data to tell which adviser performed better in relation to each other.

Answer (B):

Investment Adviser B

<u>Explanation:</u>

R_{f} = T-bill rate = 6%

R_{m} = Market return = 14%

R_{m} - R_{f} = Market risk premium = 14% - 6% = 8%

ER_{a} = Average Return by Adviser A =19%

\beta _{a} = Beta of Adviser A = 1.5

ER_{b} = Average Return by Adviser B =16%

\beta _{b} = Beta of Adviser B = 1

CAPM Equation is ER_{i} = R_{f} +\beta  (R_{m} - R_{f} ) +\alpha

<u>For Adviser A</u>

ER_{i} = 6 + 1.5 (14 - 6) = 18%

The expected average return for the investment is 18% which means that Adviser A over performed the market by 1 %

<u>For Adviser B</u>

ER_{i} = 6 + 1 (14 - 6) = 14%

The expected average return for the investment is 14% which means that the Adviser B over performed the market by 2 %

Clearly, Adviser B performed better than Adviser A.

Answer (C):

Adviser B

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

In this part, the R_{f} = 3 % and R_{m} = 15%

All else remains the same

We make similar calculation as in part B
