Afina-wow [57]

Given: Sales/Revenue = $10.6 million

           Cost of goods sold = $5.6 million

           General and administrative expenses = $550,000

           Research and development expenses = $1.1 million

           Annual depreciation = $1.3 million

           Tax rate = 35%

Find: gross margin, operating margin and net profit margin

Solutions:

a) The Gross Margin is 47.2%

Gross Margin = (Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold)/Revenue

$10.6 million –$ 5.6 million = $5,000,000

$5,000,000/$10,600,000 = 0.4716 or 47.2%


b) The Operating Profit Margin is 72.2%

Operating Profit Margin = Operating Income / Sales Revenue

*Get first the total amount of operating income

Operating income = Gross Profit – General and Administrative Expenses – Research and Development – Depreciation

Operating income = $10,600,000 - $550,000 - $1,100,000 - $1,300,000

Operating income = $7,650,000

*Then get the operating margin

Operating margin = $7,650,000 / $10,600,000

Operating margin = 0.7216 or 72.2%


c) The net profit margin is 46.9%

Net Profit Margin = Net Income/ Total Revenues

*Get first the total amount of Net Income

Net Income = Total Revenues – Total Expenses

Net Income = $10,600,000 - $550,000 - $1,100,000 - $1,300,000 x (1-0.35) <span>
Net Income = $7,650,000 x (1-0.35)</span>

Net Income = $4,972,500

*Then get the Net Profit Margin

Net Profit Margin = $4,972,500/$10,600,000

<span>Net Profit Margin = 0.4691 or 46.9%</span>

Nina [5.8K]

A hardware store makes a profit of $30,000 during its first year. The store owner sets a goal of increasing profits by $4000 eac
MrMuchimi

Answer:

$294,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Profit during the first year = $30,000

Increase in profit each year = $4,000

Now,

Profit for the current year = Profit for the previous year + $4,000

Therefore,

Year                 Current year profit

1                           $30,000

2                           $34,000                   [$30,000 + $4.000]

3                           $38,000                   [$34,000 + $4.000]

4                           $42,000                   [$38,000 + $4.000]

5                           $46,000                   [$42,000 + $4.000]

6                           $50,000                   [$46,000 + $4.000]

7                           $54,000                   [$50,000 + $4.000]

Hence,

The total profit during the first 7 years of business = ∑ (Current year profit)

= $30,000 + $34,000 + $38,000 + $42,000 + $46,000 + $50,000 + $54,000

= $294,000
