Answer: 16.55%
Explanation:
Profit margin is the amount of earnings that a company has left when every expenses and costs have been deducted.
From the information given, firstly, we calculate the return on equity. This will be:
= Growth rate /(1 + Growth rate) × Retention ratio
= 8% / (1 + 8%) × 46%
= 0.08/(1 + 0.08) × 0.46
= 0.08/1.08 × 0.46
= 0.08/0.4968
= 0.1610
= 16.10%
Return on equity, ROE = 16.10%
We then calculate the profit margin. This will be:
= ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier
where,
Equity Multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio
= 1 + 0.37 = 1.37
Profit margin = ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier
= 16.10% / {(1/1.41) × 1.37}
= 16.10% / 0.71 × 1.37
= 0.1610 / 0.9727
= 0.1655
Profit margin = 16.55%
Answer:
B. $0.02
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Since the annual holding cost percentage is 10% and the cost of production is $5. So, the holding cost would be
= $5 × 10%
= 0.5
Now if the t-shirts run 25 times a year, so the holding cost would be
= 0.5 ÷ 25 times
= $0.02
Simply we compute the holding cost based on number of times the t-shirt turns in a year
All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
Establishing international treaties .............................. is a good way to control INTRODUCTION OF INVASIVE SPECIES.
Invasive species are those animal species which are removed from a different ecosystem and are brought to a new ecosystem, where they cause damages to other species which originally inhabit the ecosystem. Invasive species can wipe out the native species thus disrupting the ecosystem.

Answer:
80000 unit of Alpha
Explanation:
This is a Limiting factor/resource constraint question. In certain situations entities suffer from shortage of necessary resources (e.g: shortage of material, labor hours, machine hours), in such circumstances entities strive to allocate the constraint resources to the production of those products which generate the highest contribution per limiting factor and help maximize total contribution. In this case the limiting factor for Cane is Raw material.
Lets suppose that each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta sell for $120 and $80</em> respectively and variable cost per unit of <em>Alpha and Beta is $69 and $20 </em>respectively. Each unit of <em>Alpha and Beta require 2 and 5 pounds</em> of raw material for production respectively.
Now that we have supposed the data we have to compute contribution per unit and then contribution per limiting factor and based on the ranking (i.e highest first) of contribution per limiting factor we decide which product should be given priority for resource allocation.
<em>Lets calculate contribution per unit.</em>
Alpha:
Contribution per unit= SP-VC
Where, SP stands for selling price and VC stands for variable cost.
CPU= 120-69
CPU=$51
Beta:
Contribution per unit= 80-40
CPU=$40
<em />
<em />
<em>Now, lets calculate contribution per limiting factor.</em>
Alpha:
CLF: $51÷2
CLF: $25.5 1st Rank
Beta:
CLF: $40÷5
CLF: $8 2nd Rank
So clearly Alpha has a greater contribution per limiting factor and it implies that Alpha will earn the highest contribution margin therefore Cane should produce and allocate resources to Alpha first and then Beta if there remains any?
Profit maximizing output:
It requires 2 pounds of raw material to produce one unit of Alpha (i.e 80000×2=160000) Therefore Cane should produce 80000 units of Alpha only in order to maximize its profits.
