Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

According to this general formula

f1,k = [(1+rk+1)k+1/((1+r1)]1/k -1

f1,1 = [(1+ 4.9%)1+1/((1+4.4%)]1/1 -1 = 5.40%

f1,2 =  [(1+ 5.6%)2+1/((1+4.4%)]1/2 -1 = 6.21%

f1,3 =  [(1+ 6.4%)3+1/((1+4.4%)]1/3 -1 =7.08%

The Intramural Sports Club reports sales revenue of $578,000. Inventory at both the beginning and end of the year totals $110,00
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$363,500

Explanation:

Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold.

In the case

Revenue = $578,000.

The Cost of Goods Sold: COGS

Inventory turn over = COGS/ Average turnover

Average turnover = Opening stock + closing stock/2

In this case Opening stock + Closing stock = $110,000

Average turnover = $110,000 /2 =$55,000

Therefore:

3.9 = COGS/$55,000

COGS = $55,000 x 3.9

COGS =$214,500

Gross profit =  $578,000 - $214,500

Gross profit = $363,500

Jason purchased ABC stock at $40 per share and DEF stock at $35 per share on the same day in 2015. Exactly 6 months later, the A
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing Cost of Stock ABC purchased = $40 per share

Purchasing Cost of Stock DEF purchased = $35 per share

Time = 6 months

Selling price of share of ABC = $42 per share

Selling price of DEF share = $36

Dividend paid to the DEF = $0.5 each quarter i.e $0.5 twice in 6 months

Thus,

Total dividend paid to DEF = $0.5 × 2

= $1

Now,

For ABC

Total return = Selling price - Purchasing Cost

= $42 - $40

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $40 ] × 100%

= 5%

For DEF

Total return = Selling price + Dividend received - Purchasing Cost

= $36 + $1 - $35

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $35 ] × 100%

= 5.7%

Hence,

option C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%.

lawyer [7]

Answer:

Franchising

Explanation:

Since Marianna wants to open additional locations, but she doesn't have a lot of start-up capital, the consolidation strategy for fragmented industries that she could utilize is franchising

Franchising is a business expansion model and marketing concept which can be adopted by an organization that does not have to put down additional capital for expansion.

The expanding firm (a franchisor) only needs to license its know-how, procedures, intellectual property, and the use of its business model, brand, and rights to sell its branded products and services to a franchisee.

The franchisee is the party to bring the capital for the expansion.

Much explains why most restaurants use this same strategy, e.g. KFC, Subway and McDonald's;
