Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In the base period a college student buys 20 gallons of gasoline at $2 per gallon, 2 CDs for $13 each, and 4 movie tickets for $7 each.

In the next month, the price of gasoline is $2.25 per gallon, CDs cost $12.50 each, and the price of a movie ticket is $7.50.

The price index

= \frac{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ current\ year}{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ base\ year}\ \times\ 100

= \frac{100}{94}\ \times\ 100

= 106.38 or 106.4

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1. 45.5%

2. 13.3%

3. 7.2%

Explanation:

The formulas and calculations are shown below:

1. Gross margin = (Sales - cost of sales) ÷ (sales) × 100

                          = ($10.1 million - $5.5 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

                          =  ($4.6 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

                          = 45.5%

Gross profit = Sales - cost of sales

2. Operating margin = (Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges) ÷ (sales) × 100

= ($4.6 million -  $460,000 or $0.46 million - $1.4 million - $1.4 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= ($1.34 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= 13.3%

Operating income = Gross profit - selling, general and administrative expenses - research and development - annual depreciation charges

3. Net profit margin = (Operating income - taxes) ÷ (sales) × 100

= ($1.34 million - $0.6097 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= ($0.7303 million) ÷ ($10.1 million) × 100

= 7.2%

The income tax expense =  Operating income × income tax rate

                                          = $1.34 million × 45.5%

                                           = $0.6097 million
