Answer:

gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue

I looked for the missing information:

year                    total sales                   cost of goods sold

2012                    $7,175                            $4,365

2013                    $8,052                           $5,140

2014                    $8,268                           $5,370

   

a)

gross profit ratio:

2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%

2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%

2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%

b)

since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%

estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion

estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

What is the difference between a demand curve and a demand schedule?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Demand schedule:

The Demand schedule refers to the tabular representation of the quantity demanded at the various price levels. By observing the demand schedule, we can conclude that as the price of the good increases then as a result the quantity demanded for that good falls. It represents various combination of price and quantity demanded.

Demand curve:

A demand curve refers to the graphical representation of the demand schedule which shows the relationship between the price of the commodity and the quantity demanded for that commodity. It is downward sloping curve which shows that there is an inverse relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded.
