Answer:
a. in order to calculate this we must assume that the economy entered a recession:
degree of operating leverage = [($20 - $70)/$70] / [($260 - $520)/$520] = -0.7143 / -0.5 = 1.43
b. $14 million
Explanation:
strong economy:
total sales $520 million
<u>variable costs $420 million</u>
gross profit $100 million
<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>
EBIT $70 million
<u>income taxes $21 million</u>
net income $49 million
weak economy:
total sales $260 million
<u>variable costs $210 million</u>
gross profit $50 million
<u>fixed costs $30 million</u>
EBIT $20 million
<u>income taxes $6 million</u>
net income $14 million
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Total assets. $240,000
Less total liabilities ($130,000)
$110,000
Less common stock ($24,000)
Retained earnings at end $86,0000
Less Retained earnings at the beginning ($29,000)
Addition to retained earnings $57,000
Add dividends $6,400
Net profit earned $63,400
Add expenses $94,000
Revenue. $157,400
Therefore, company's net profit margin expressed as a percentage = Net profit earned / Revenue
= (63,400/157,400) × 100
= 40%
Answer:
The dividend payable to the cumulative preferred stock holers in 2021 is $11,550 while the amount payable to common stock holders is $1,450.
Explanation:
Cumulative preferred stock dividends accrue and becomes payable when the reporting entity has favourable cash flows. Rachael Designs plans to make payment of $13,000 dividends in 2021. As the annual cumulative preferred dividend is $3,850 (1,100 shares x $50 x 7%), the amount due over three years will be $3,850 x 3 whcih is $11,550. Thus, out of the proposed cash outflow of $13,000, the amount of $11,550 will be paid to cumulative preferred stock holders while only $1,450 will be paid to the common stock holders.
Answer: 860
Explanation:
The gross domestic product is the value of the goods and services which are produced in a particular country from the year.
In this question, we are informed that we should calculate GDP loss if equilibrium level of GDP is $10,000, unemployment rate 9.8%, and the marginal prospensity to consume is 0.75.
The GDP loss will be calculated as:
= [(0.75 × 9.8)/100 × 10,000] + 125
= [(7.35/100) × 10000] + 125
= [(0.0735) × 10000] + 125
= 735 + 125
= 860
Answer:
Report it to the right person
Explanation:
According to the article titled "What to do when you spot your employer doing something illegal" written by Catherine Conlan.
It says the best thing to do is to report it to the right person.
This is evident when it is stated in the article that "If you reasonably believe your employer is doing something illegal or unethical, you should first bring it to your supervisor’s attention... If it’s your supervisor you suspect, exhaust the chain of command within the company.
Hopefully, the company will investigate the matter. If no one within the chain of command responds, then there is generally a government agency with whom one can file a complaint,"
