Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
2/10 net 30 means that if the costumer pays within 10 days, he will be offered 2% discount, otherwise the amount is due in 30 days in full.
DSO means average number of days the company takes to receive payment from customers of credit sales.
Since the DSO of a firm given is 28 days, which is lower than the 30 days credit period normally offered by the company, therefore it may indicate that the firm's credit department is operating effectively.
Hence, answer is a) true
Answer:
B. 66.67%
Explanation:
Contribution is the difference between the company's total revenue and the total variable cost. The ratio of the contribution to sales or revenue gives the contribution margin ratio.
The contribution may also be derived from the addition of the fixed cost and the operating income.
Contribution margin
= $115,000 + $54,000
= $169,000
Let the number of units to be sold to achieve targeted income be U
6U - 2U - 115,000 = 54,000
4U = 169,000
U = 42,250
Contribution margin ratio = 169000/(6 * 42,250)
= 66.67%
Answer:
Rest of question:
... equals marginal cost.
Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.
As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.
This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.
