Answer:
$60 million
Explanation:
The quick ratio is the financial ratio of the current assets less inventory to current liabilities. While the accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity.
This may be expressed mathematically as
Assets = Liabilities + Equity
Given that quick ration is 1.7 and current liabilities = $50 million
1.7 = current assets less inventory/$50 million
current assets less inventory = 1.7 * $50 million
= $85 million
The total asset is made up of the current assets less inventory, inventory, fixed assets. Let the balance for fixed assets be y
$85 + $65 + y = $210 (all amounts in millions)
y = $210 - $150 (all amounts in millions)
y = $60 (all amounts in millions)
Answer:
$81 approx
Explanation:
Contribution margin refers to sales receipts in excess of variable costs incurred. This represents contribution from a product earned which is after variable costs have been incurred.
<u>Product A</u>
Selling price per unit = $88
Variable cost per unit = $38
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $88 - $38 = $50
Similarly, for <u>product B</u>,
Contribution margin per unit = $143 - $47= $96
<u>Products Weights Contribution Weighted contribution</u>
A 0.32 50 16
B <u>0.68</u> 96 <u>65.28</u>
1.00 81.28
Hence, weighted average contribution margin is $81.28 or $81 approx
Answer:
Yes they are sustainable
Explanation:
The strategies mentioned in the question were laid out my Michael Porter and therefore, we can look analyse his model to understand whether these strategies are sustainable or not.
Porter has categorized strategies into 3 broad categories: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, and Focus strategies (all three are known as "Generic Strategies). Focus strategy is branched out into two sub-segments known as Cost Focus and Differentiation Focus.
Now, the question has already clarified that the strategies in question are both focus strategies. So lets understand what each entails.
Differentiation Focus: A strategy in which the company aims to gain market leadership in a focused market (a specific market) through strategic differentiaion. This strategic differentiaion involves offering a specialized service or a unique product in a niche market. Cost focus strategy is similar in the sense is that that the aim is to offer highly low cost products/services to a niche market. Because of the focus on these niche markets, company's develop a strong understansing of the consumer thereby developing strong brand loyalty with that particular customer base. The key ingredient, again, is that the competitive advantage is being harnessed by focusing just on a particular niche market. Another key component is that the companies using this strategy rely on the consumers in the target market having different needs, tastes, and requirements than consumers in other segments in the industry.
Now, these strategies by desig were put forth my Porter has being sustainable. Hence the term "generic strategies" in that they can be broadly used to create and sustain performance. The focus strategies as defined above are sustainable since they harness the power of having priority knowledge of their target market to provide appropriate services and products. The high brand loyalty and knowledge of consumers give them an edge over competitors (competitive rivalry). Supplier power depends on the nature of products being offered therefore it cant be taken into consideration. Buyer power can be managed since you are prodiving unique service offerings to unique customers. Threat of substitution depends on the product and service offering. Threat of new entry by larger player exists, but due to the focus that the company had in the target market, barriers to entry (long strong brand loyalty) can be developed.
Answer:
$3,650
Explanation:
Given that,
Assets = $107,000;
Liabilities = $37,000;
Common Stock = $67,000;
Retained Earnings = $3,000
Amount of net income:
= Revenue - Expenses
= $5,700 - $3,350
= $2,350
Closing retained earnings:
= Retained earnings at the start + Current year net income - Dividends paid
= $3,000 + $2,350 - $1,700
= $3,650
Therefore, the Golden's retained earnings at the end of the year is $3,650.
Answer:
7.92%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on total assets is shown below:
Return on assets = (Net income) ÷ (average of total assets)
where,
Net income is $2,100
Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + ending total assets) ÷ 2
= ($33,500 + $19,500) ÷ 2
= $26,500
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the ratio would equal to
= $2,100 ÷ $26,500
= 7.92%
