Answer:
- The earnings per share of common stock is closest to
D. $11.41.
Explanation:
To find the Price-Earning Ratio first, it's necessary to deduct from the Net Income the part corresponding to Preferred Stock,
which is , $2,532,000 - (200,000*1,25= $250,000) = $2,282,000
Then we calculate the Earning/Share Ratio : $2,282,000/200,000 = 11,41
Shares of Common stock outstanding 200.000
Shares of Preferred stock outstanding 200.000*$1,25 = $250.000
NET INCOME Available $2,282,000 = $ 2,532,000 - $250,000
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1.
Direct Material Price Variance = Actual material cost - Actual Quantity × Standard Price
For Silver
= $13848 - 577 × 23
= $577 (U)
For Crystal
= $2926 - 7700 × 0.40
= $154 (F)
Direct Material Quantity Variance = (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) × Standard Price
For Silver
= (577 - 1530 × 0.40) × 23
= $805 (F)
For Crystal
= (7700 - 1530 × 5) × 0.40
= $20 (U)
2.
Direct Labor Rate Variance = Actual Cost - Actual Hours × Standard Rate
= $36915 - 3210 × 12
= $1605 (F)
And,
Direct Labor efficiency Variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard Rate
= (3210 - 1530 × 2) × 12
= $1800 (U)
Answer:
Total= $292,520
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Zhang Industries sells a product for $750. Unit sales for May were 400 and each month's sales are expected to grow by 3%. Zhang pays a sales manager a monthly salary of $4,000 and a commission of 2% of sales in dollars. Assume 30% of Zhang's sales are for cash. The remaining 70% are credit sales; these customers pay in the month following the sale.
Cash budget for June:
Sales= [(400*1.03)*750]*0.3= 92,700
Sales from May= (400*750)*0.7= 210,000
Salary= (4,000)
Commision= [(400*1.03)*750]*0.02= (6,180)
Total= $292,520
A market segment is a subgroup of people or organizations that have one or more characteristics in common that cause them to have the same product needs. Everyone needs water to drink, but does everyone need bottled water? For companies to successfully reach their precise customer, they need to divide a market into similar and identifiable segments through market segmentation.
The main reason companies divide markets into identifiable groups is so that the marketing team can create a custom marketing mix for the specific group. For example, Farmer Joseph realized early on that not everyone would purchase his expensive organic produce. He did not want to exhaust his financial budget by advertising to the masses. Instead, he identified his target market and created a specific marketing plan to communicate effectively with his prime customers.
His target market consisted of females age 18-65, with an income of $50,000+, who have healthy eating habits and who are concerned about pesticides. His plan consisted of ad placement in local women's magazines, newspapers and also email blasts to a list that he formulated with age and income specifics. Lastly, he advertised with a local gym about his healthy produce. Marketers have numerous choices in how they can segment a market.
If the farmer had planned on targeting everyone, then the type of segmentation would have been called no market segmentation. The opposite type of segmentation would be if he decided to target based on every individual factor available. This would be called a fully segmented market. Other choices include segmenting just by gender, income, lifestyle, ethnicity, family life cycle, age group, or even a combination-type.
Companies will not survive if the marketing strategy is dependent upon targeting an entire mass market. The importance of market segmentation is that it allows a business to precisely reach a consumer with specific needs and wants. In the long run, this benefits the company because they are able to use their corporate resources more effectively and make better strategic marketing decisions.
