ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  • If a company has a profit margin of 10%, it means that the company earned a net income of $0.10 for each dollar of sales.  A 10% PROFIT MARGIN MEANS THAT THE COMPANY EARNED 10 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR OF REVENUE.
  • If a company's operating margin increases but its profit margin decreases, it could mean that the company paid more in interest or taxes.  OPERATING PROFIT = GROSS PROFIT - FIXED COSTS, NET PROFIT = OPERATING PROFIT - (INTERESTS AND TAXES). IF TAXES OR INTERESTS INCREASE, NET PROFITS DECREASE

Explanation:

there are several profitability ratios, the most important ones are:

  1. profit margin = net profit / total revenue
  2. gross profit margin = gross profit / total revenue
  3. return on equity = net income / total shareholder equity
  4. return on assets = net income / total assets

maxonik [38]

Answer:

player 2 is signing a better contract

Explanation:

the present value of an annuity (player 1) = annual payment x annuity factor

assuming that the interest rate is 10%

present value = $10 million x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $61.446 million

player 2's contract

the present value of a growing annuity = [payment / (i - g)] x {1 - [(1 + g) / (1 + i)]ⁿ} = [$10 / (10% - 5%)] x {1 - [(1 + 5%) / (1 + 10%)]¹⁰} = $200 x 0.372 = $74.398 million

Machine A average rate return

40000 out of 300000. It means that 300000 is 100% and $ 40000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

40000       X                     X= 4000000/300000

300000     100%               X= 13.33%

Machine B average rate return

50000 out of 250000. It means that 250000 is 100% and $ 50000 is X. We apply a simple three rule:

50000       X                     X= 5000000/250000

250000     100%               X= 20%

Machine C average rate return

$75,000 out of $500,000. It means that $500,000 is 1005 and $75,000 is X. We apply a simple three rule

$75,000     X                       X=7500000/500000

$500,000  100%                 X= 15%

The highest average is the one onf Machine B
