Answer:
Explanation:
Assume the initial invest at the beginning is $100.
The investment at end of year 4 is:
100 x 1.16 x 1.11 x 1.1 x 1.1 = 155.80
a) CAGR over the 4 years = (155.8 / 100 ) ^ (1/4) = 11.72%
b) Average annual return over 4 years = (16% +11% + 10% +10%) /4 = 11.75%
c) Since the returns over the 4 year period are not much volatile, average annual return is a better measure.
If the investment's returns are independent and identically distributed, Average annual return will be the better measure because there is no correlation between returns over the years and thus there is no point to take into consideration the compounding effect by using CAGR.
Answer: A.exceed units sold
Explanation:
In Absorption Costing, All costs be it Fixed or Variable that are directly related to production are considered when computing the Cost of Production.
Under Variable Costs however, only variable Costs are considered for the computing of Cost of Production.
This difference in consideration of costs under each method leads to difference in income determination under each method.
Under Absorption Costing, fixed manufacturing costs are apportioned on produced units and the costs are only recovered when the units are sold but under variable costing, fixed manufacturing costs are treated as period costs and are therefore charged to the Income statement.
This means that, the amount of income under absorption costing will be more than the amount of income under variable costing when units manufactured exceed units sold.
Answer:
Gross Margin = $6,000
Explanation:
Gross margin refers to the Sales price - Direct cost associated with the product.
Here, Sales Value = 200 outdoor planters for $50 each = $50 
200 = $10,000
Cost associated with this outdoor planters = Purchase cost as paid to supplier = $4,000
Thus, gross margin = $10,000 - $4,000 = $6,000
Note: Time period and dates provided for such sales and collection of amount or payment to supplier is of no relevance.
Final Answer
Gross Margin = $6,000
Answer:
B $3000/year
Explanation:
The minimum amount of salary that Danny should contribute to his 401(k) plan each year = 6% of his annual salary = 6/100 × $50000 = $3000/year
