Answer:

Value created for the firm = $8.18 million

Explanation:

given data

net sales = $80 million

total operating costs = $52 million

Investor-supplied capital = $115 million

after-tax cost = 7.5%

company’s tax rate = 40%

solution

we get here Earning Before Interest and tax that is express as

Earning Before Interest and tax = Net Sales - Operating costs   .........1

put here value and we get

Earning Before Interest and tax  = $80 million - $52 million

Earning Before Interest and tax  = $28 million

and

Net Operating profit after tax = $28 × ( 1 - 40% )    .........2

Net Operating profit after tax  = $16.8 million

and

Return on investor-supplied capital will be

Return on investor-supplied = $115 million × 7.5%

Return on investor-supplied = $8.625 million

so here Value created for the firm will  be

Value created for the firm = Net operating profit after tax - Return on investor-supplied capital    ..................3

Value created for the firm = $16.8 - $8.625 = $8.175 million

Value created for the firm = $8.18 million

Complete the balance sheet and sales information in the table that follows for J. White
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

A newspaper story on the effect of higher milk prices on the market for ice cream contained the following: "As a result [of the
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for icecream is -0.75, that means that is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the porcentage of the change in the demand when there is a change in the price. If the change in porcentage of the demand is less than the pocentage of change in the price we talk about inelastic demand. An increase in the price of inelastic goods will result in bigger revenues, as the porcentage in the drop of sales is less than the porcentage   of increase in the price.

The formula is: % in change demand/% in change of price

-3%/4= -0.75

The minus symbol indicates that when the price rises the demand decrease.

A plant's fixed overhead costs total $500,000 for a year to produce 400,000 widgets, among other items. If machine‐hours are use
maxonik [38]

Answer:

$0.5

Explanation:

A plant's fixed total overhead cost is $500,000 for a year

400,000 widgets are required to be produced for this period

All processes require a 40,000 machine hours and the widgets use 16,000 hours out of the total hours

The first step is to calculate the fixed overhead application rate

= $500,000/40,000

= $12.5 machine-hour

The fixed overhead that is applied to the widgets can be calculated as follows

= $12.5 × 16,000

= $200,000

Therefore, the fixed overhead that is applied to each of the widgets produced can be calculated as follows

= 200,000/400,000

= $0.5

Hence the fixed overhead that is applicable to each widgets is $0.5

atroni [7]

Answer:

-jerry is entitled to monetary damages compensations due to a contract breach.

-Freddy has to pay Jerry $90

Explanation:

the damage that the gym is entitled to would be that of a contract breach. Freddy wanted to earn more money so he breached the contract. Now given that Jerry had to go with another supplier of water at a greater cost of 50 dollars for 9 months, just to satisfy his requirements. Freddy has to pay him monetary damages for this breach in contract.  he has to pay the difference that exists between the price in the contract they had and what jerry now has to pay due to the breach. The difference is 10 dollars, which is to be paid every month for 9 months

= (50 - 40)*9

= 10 * 9 = $90
