Answer:

Builtrite has higher than average operating expenses

Explanation:

Subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales will give you gross profit. The reason of high gross profit could be company is able to sell its products at a higher price or it is able to keep its cost of goods sold at a lower level than industry standards.

A higher-than-industry-average gross profit margin increases your chances of generating a net profit provided that you are able to keep your expenses within industry average levels.

Operating profit is the pre-tax profit or in other words it is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from the gross profit. Operating profit margin is equal to operating income divided by the total revenue. A lower operating margin despite of having higher gross profit is because the company is not able to control its operating expenses or in other words they are incurring higher operating expenses as compare to industry.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Given: Selling price= $120 per unit.

          Variable cost= $60 per unit.

First computing contribution margin.

Contribution margin= Selling\ price\ per\ unit - variable\ cost\ per\ unit

⇒ Contribution margin= \$120 - \$ 60

∴ Contribution margin=  \$ 60

Now, calculating the contribution margin ratio.

Contribution margin ratio= \frac{Contribution\ margin}{selling\ price\ per\ unit}

⇒ Contribution margin ratio= \frac{\$ 60}{\$ 120} \times 100

∴ Contribution margin ratio= 50\%

Hence, the product´s contribution ratio is 50%.

You just turned 35 and have been saving for an around-the-world vacation. You want to take the trip to celebrate your 40th birth
Olegator [25]

Answer:

(a) No, there is a Shortfall = $2,965

(b) $25,202.95

Explanation:

As provided current balance: $15,000

Current return on investment = 8%

Assumed this is compound interest as no amount is withdrawn in between.

Therefore, future value of $1 after 5 years @ 8% compounded per year =

1.469

Value of $15,000 on the date of 40th Birthday = $15,000 \times 1.469 = $22,035

There is a shortfall in the budgeted amount = $25,000 - $22,035 = $2,965

If $500 annual contributions are made in the same account then value shall be:

Value of $15,000 = $22,035

Value of $500 = Value of $1 after 5 years = $6.3359

= $500 \times 6.3359 = $3,167.95

Then total balance in account = $22,035 + $3,167.95 = $25,202.95

The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batches
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

0.89 orders per minute

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Batch size = 4 orders

Here, process 1 = cooking

process 2 = Bagging and payment accepting

Time taken to complete process 1 by cooking a batch of 4 orders

= 3 × 1 + 0.5 × 3

= 4.5 minutes

Time taken to complete process 2 by Bagging and payment accepting of 4 orders

= 0.80 × 4

= 3.2 minutes

Time in process 1 is greater than time taken in process 2

Since, process 1 is bottleneck operation So, it will decide the capacity of project. therefore,

Overall capacity = 4.5 minutes for 4 orders

Therefore number of orders = 4 ÷ 4.5

= 0.89 orders per minute

Hence, Process capacity = 0.89 orders per minute
