mixer [17]

Answer:

6,000

Explanation:

The expected value from this investment can be calculated by possible values for random variables by multiplying them by their probability

DATA

Strong = 30,000 , probability = 30%

Moderate = 10,000 , probability = 60%

Weak = -30,000 , probability = 10%

Calculation

Expected profit = Values x Probability

Expected profit = (30,000 x 30%) + (10,000 x 60%) + ( 30,000 x 10%)

Expected profit = 6,000 + 6,000 -6,000

Expected profit = 6,000

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a. $1,764,000.00

b. 12.08%

c. 19.17%

Explanation:

a. What is the company's net income?

Profit margin = Net income ÷ Sales

Therefore, we have:

9% = Net income ÷ $19,600,000

Net income = $19,600,000 × 9% = $1,764,000.00

Therefore, the net income of Aquilera, Inc. is $1,764,000.00

b. What is the company's Return on Assets (ROA)?

ROA = Net income ÷ Total Assets

ROA = $1,764,000 ÷ $14,600,000 = 0.120821917808219 = 12.08%

Therefore, the ROA of Aquilera, Inc. is 12.08%

c. What is the company's Return on Equity (ROE)?

Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity

Therefore,

Total Equity = Total Assets - Total Debt

Total Equity = $14,600,000 - $5,400,000 = $9,200,000

ROE = Net income ÷ Total Equity

ROE = $1,764,000 ÷ $9,200,000 = 0.191739130434783 = 19.17%

Therefore, the ROE of Aquilera, Inc. is 19.17%

Ritchie Manufacturing Company makes a product that it sells for $200 per unit. The company incurs variable manufacturing costs o

NARA [144]

Answer :

Break even units = 10,500

Break even amount = $2,100,000

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

a) Break even units = Fixed expense ÷ CM per unit b ÷ (a - c)

= ($466,000 + $269,000) ÷ ($200 - $110 - $20)

= 10,500 units

b) Break even amount = b ÷ (a ÷ c)

= ($466,000 + $269,000) ÷ ($70 ÷ $200)

= $2,100,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Selling price per unit × 100

where,

Contribution margin = Selling price per unit - variable expenses per unit

c) CM per unit Break even units = Fixed expense ÷ Cm per unit

= $735,000 ÷ $70

= 10,500 units

Break even dollars = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $735,000 ÷ 0.35

= $2,100,000

d) Contribution margin income statement:

Sales = 10,500 × $200 = $2,100,000

Less Variable expenses 10,500 × ($110+$20) = $1,365,000

Contribution margin $735,000

Less Fixed Expense $735,000

Net Operating Income = $0
