Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Accounting rate of return is determined to take the efficient business decision related to the capital budgeting and it tell us whether to accept the proposal or not. The following is the formula:

Accounting rate of return = (Average Income ÷ Initial Investment)

For example:

Net profit for 3 years are as follows:

2012 - 13 = $50 million

2013-14 = $100 million

2014-15 = $150 million

Initial investment = $200

Average profit = ($50 + $100 + $150) ÷ 3

                        = $100

Accounting rate of return = (Average Income ÷ Initial Investment)

                                          = $100 ÷ $200

                                          = 0.5 or 50%

A company manufactures various sized plastic bottles for its medicinal product. The manufacturing cost for small bottles is $67
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The company should buy from an outside source rahter than manufacturing because each bottle manufactured costs $5 more.

Explanation:

Differential Analysis

                                                          Make            Buy

Manufacturing Cost per bottle         $ 67

Purchasing Cost per bottle                                  $35

Freight per bottle                                                  $ 5

<u>Fixed Costs                                                            $ 22   </u>

<u>Total                                                   $ 67              $62   </u>

<u />

The company should buy the bottles from the  outside source because the manufacturing costs are higher than the purchasing costs and the fixed costs.

The fixed costs are the irrelevant costs that will continue whether bottles are manufactured or purchased.

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

1. If you were going to buy a fuel-efficient car, which three would you consider? Why? Answer:
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Ford Fusion, Toyota Corolla and BMW i3

Explanation:

Fuel economy and fuel efficiency is one of the most important thing to consider when buying a car.

In United States, nearly 8 thousand gallons of petroleum are consumed by cars everyday. This cost a lot to the people's purse and most importantly it costs the atmosphere.

When we burn or use more fuel, the atmosphere gets more polluted by the exhaust of the fuel burning, and the world oil supply is depleting faster. This results in the rise of gasoline price. Thus, it is very necessary to plan before buying cars.

I would consider the cars Ford Fusion, Toyota Corolla and the BMW i3 while planning to buy a car because they are the most fuel efficient cars available in the U.S. They are also equipped with latest technology like cruise control which reduces the fuel consumption of the car.

The 2020 Ford fusion is a 6 speed automatic front wheel drive which gives the best driving experience and less energy wastage.
