koban [17]

Answer:

The asset turnover is 3.66 times

Explanation:

Asset Turnover is the efficiency rate of the assets of the business to generate revenue for the business. It shows how efficiently the assets of the business are used to generate revenue for the business.

Formula for Asset turnover is as follow

Asset Turnover = Net sales / Average total assets

Asset Turnover = $5,490,000 / $1,500,000

Asset Turnover = 3.66 times

Two online magazine companies reported the following in their financial statements: BetterWorth Outdoor Fun 2018 2017 2018 2017

Rudik [331]

Answer:

BetterWorth and Outdoor Fun ROE and P/E Ratio Analysis:

1-a) Computation of 2018 ROE for each company.

ROE = Return on Equity. It is a percentage of the net income over equity. It is best to use the average equity, if given two balance sheets. See explanation for further clarification.

Average Equity = Two balance sheets' equity divided by 2.

BetterWorth's Average Equity = (597,186 + 522,814) / 2 = 560,000

Outdoor Fun's Average Equity = (457,151 + 477,049) / 2 = 467,100

BetterWorth's 2018 ROE = 111,000 / 560,000 x 100 = 19.82%

Outdoor Fun's 2018 ROE = 92,420 / 467,100 x 100 = 19.79%

1-b) BetterWorth's appears to be generating greater returns on stockholders' equity in 2018. It generated 19.82% as against Outdoor Fun's 19.79%, especially with the use of average equity.

2-a) Computation of 2018 P/E Ratio for each company:

P/E Ratio = Price/Earnings Ratio. It is expressed as the market price per share divided by earnings per share.

BetterWorth's 2018 P/E Ratio = 54.90 : 3.4 = 16.15 : 1

Outdoor Fun's 2018 P/E Ratio = 33.05 : 2.30 = 14.37 : 1

2-b) Investors appear to value BetterWorth more than Outdoor Fun. This is because investors are ready to pay 16.15 times more for each unit of the earnings of BetterWorth. For Outdoor Fun, investors are only willing to pay 14.37 times more for each unit of its earnings.

Explanation:

A) ROE = Return on Equity. It is expressed as a percentage of net income over average equity. In the above calculations, we used the average equity. The reason is this: average equity smoothens the mismatch between the income statement and the balance sheet.

But, what does ROE measure? It measures a company's management effectiveness in using assets to make profits for shareholders.

Had we used the 2018 equity, Outdoor Fun would have appeared to have performed relatively better than BetterWorth over ROE.

B) P/E ratio relates a company's share price to its earnings. The P/E ratio shows that the company's stock is overvalued or undervalued. It depicts investors' confidence or lack of it in the company's ability to produce more or less earnings. Without earnings expectation, investors cannot price a company's stock highly. It is therefore a stock valuation tool widely used by financial analysts and investors.

I believe the answer is: Strategy

Strategy reefers to planned decision that is used to achieve a certain goal. In the example above, the goal of the hotel is to survive the downturn.

Conley realized that front-employees are the most curical resources in such situation since they are basically the main people that directly handled the customers. So, he choose a strategy to improve their general welfare and sacrificing his own needs.

Havermill Co. establishes a $460 petty cash fund on September 1. On September 30, the fund is replenished. The accumulated recei

frozen [14]

Answer: Debit Petty cash $408; Credit Cash $408.

Explanation: Petty cash is a small amount of fund set aside for immediate or urgent minor expenses. In most organizations, there is a limit to the petty cash amount that a business unit can have. And someone is always saddled with the responsibility of managing the fund. It has its business rule in the sense that the amount should not be withdrawn beyond zero balance to throw it into debit.

In the instance of the question, the petty cash is $460 and within September, total expenses of $316 were incurred and paid for, leaving a balance of $144. However, the accountant determines that this cash should be increased by $92 on 1 October, so reimbursement to the fund would be the amount already spent ($316) and the proposed increment ($92), making $408.
