Answer:

a. FedEx = 2.3 , UPS = 3.2

b. UPS appears to be more efficient in using fixed assets as it is able to generate a sales of $3.20 for every $1 invested in assets as against a sale of $2.30 for every $1 invested in asset generated by FedEx

Explanation:

Asset turnover is the ratio of revenue to average assets of a company. It is a financial indicator that shows how much revenue a company generates in an accounting period for each  $1 invested in assets (fixed asset in this case).

Mathematically,

Fixed asset turnover = sales/average fixed asset

The fixed asset turnover ratio for;

FedEx = $47,453/$20,213

= 2.3

UPS = $58,363/$18,317

= 3.2

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Material A = 234,000 lbs.

Material B = 39,000 lbs.

Explanation:

First we must determine how many units we have to manufacture:

expected sales + ending inventory - beginning inventory =  76,000 + 10,500 - 8,500 = 78,000 units to be manufactured

now we calculate the amount of direct materials used:

Material A: 78,000 units x 3 lbs. per unit = 234,000 lbs.

Material B: 78,000 units x 1/2 lb. per unit = 39,000 lbs.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

$1.3 million

Explanation:

Under FIFO costing:

Cost of goods sold = $22 billion

Inventory = $2.1 billion

LIFO Reserve for year-end 2018 = $0.6 billion

At year-end 2019 it had increased to $0.8 billion

Ending inventory (LIFO) = Ending inventory (FIFO) - Ending period LIFO reserve

                                        = $2.1 billion - $0.8 billion

                                        = $1.3 million
