The compensation survey showed an average hourly rate of $23 for total compensation. Of this amount, wages are $16 per hour and benefits are $7 per hour. In comparison, Butcher Enterprises spends an average hourly rate of $19 for total compensation. Of this amount, 70 percent is allocated for wages.
1-7. On an average hourly basis, how much does Butcher Enterprises spend on wages and benefits, respectively, in dollars?
Answer:
Hourly wage = 0.7 * $19 = $13.3
Hourly benefit = 0.3 * $19 =$5.7
Explanation:
Butcher enterprises spends average hourly rate of total compensation = $ 19
Allocation for hourly wage = 70%
So therefore;
Hourly wage = 0.7 * $19 = $13.3
Allocation for hourly benefit = 30%
So therefore;
Hourly benefit = 0.3 * $19 =$5.7
Answer:
This project should be rejected because the AAR is 10.68 percent.
Explanation:
The accounting rate of return of the project needs to computed,compared with the required accounting rate of return in order to decide whether the project should accepted or rejected:
Profit margin=$86,800*6%=$5208
Average operating assets=($97,500+$0)/2=$48.750
Accounting rate of return=profit margin/average operating assets*100
Accounting rate of return=$5,208/$48,750*100=10.68%
The project accounting rate of return is lower than the required accounting rate of return,hence the project should be rejected.
Answer:
The answer is A.15.12%.
Explanation:
Please find the below for explanation and calculations:
We have EBIT = Pretax profit /0.7 = Net profit / (0.6 x 0.7) = 0.42 x Net Profit
=> Net profit / Sales = Profit margin = 0.42 x EBIT/ Sales = 0.42 x Return-on-sales = 2.52%;
Leverage ratio = Asset/ Equity = 1.5;
Sales / Asset = asset turn over ratio = 4;
Apply the Dupont model we have:
Return on Equity = Leverage ratio x Profit Margin x Leverage ratio = 2.52% x 1.5 x 4 = 15.12%.
Thus, the answer is A. 15.12%.
