Answer:

Decrease their production costs.

Explanation:

Profit margin is the ratio of gross profit to net sales expressed as a percentage. This measures how an entity is able to control its cost and can be used as inter-corporation comparison for entities in the same industry .

The cost of goods sold is subtracted from the net sales to obtain gross profit. The gross profit is in turn divided by the net sales and expressed as a percentage to obtain the profit margin.

When the cost of production is reduced or decreased, the gross profit which form the numerator of the profit margin fraction will increase and with an increase in the numerator the profit margin will go up, all things being equal.

Regina Henry deposited $20,000 in a money market certificates that provides interest of 10% compound and quarterly if the amount

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Regina: Final amount=$62,769

Will Smith: Present value: $213,216

Explanation:

Regina:

Compound quarterly means that each quarter of the year ( every three months) she will receive a 10% interest rate of her deposit. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate( because the problem ask you about years) you use this formula :

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In this case the number of periods means the number of quarters a year have, which is 4

Annual rate= ((1+10%)^(4))-1= 46.41%

To find the final amount Regina has after 3 year we use this formula:

Final Capital (FC)= Initial Capital (IC)*[(1+interest(i))]^(number of periods(n))

FC= $20,000*[(1+46.41%)^3]

FC=$62,769 I attached an excel figure which shows a more detailed data.

Will Smith

Semiannually means that every 6 months Will Smith will receive a 12% interest rate of the initial investment. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate you use the same above formula:

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In each year Will will receive twice the interest rate over the initial investment

Annual rate = ((1+12%)^(2))-1

Annual rate= 25.44%

The present value of $80,000 from now to 5 years is calculated using the formula attached, but I used Excel. First you have to copy all the cash flows of the 5 years. Then, you set the interest rate that in this case is the one that you found above( 25.44%). Finally you use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(25.44%;C4:C8)" I used C4:C8 because in those excel cells i copied the cash flows.

I got that the present value of this amount is $213,216
