Answer:

PepsiCo, Inc.

a) Computation of the Inventory Turnover:

= Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

(in millions)                     2015                      2016                      2017

= Cost of goods sold    18,038                     20,351               20,099

/ Average Inventory     $2,108                    $2,406               $2,570

=                                   8.6 times                8.5 times             7.8 times

b) computation of the days in inventory:

= Days in the period/Inventory Turnover Ratio

(in millions)                     2015                      2016                      2017

= Days in the period       365                       365                       365

/ Inventory Turnover Ratio 8.6 times               8.5 times              7.8 times

=                                       42 days                43 days                  47 days

c) Computation of the Gross profit rate:

= Gross profit/Sales * 100

(in millions)                     2015                      2016                      2017

Gross profit               $21,436               $22,900                 $23,142

/ Sales  Revenue        39,474                   43,251                  43,232

=                                  54.3%                     52.9%                     53.5%

d) PepsiCo's inventory turnover reduced marginally from 2015 to 2017.  The days in inventory fluctuated unsteadily just like the gross profit rate in the three years under review.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

(in millions)                     2015            2016             2017

Beginning inventory  $ 1,926        $ 2,290        $ 2,522

Ending inventory         2,290            2,522            2,618

Total Inventory             4,216              4,812            5,140

Average Inventory    $2,108           $2,406         $2,570

Sales revenue           39,474           43,251         43,232

Cost of goods sold    18,038           20,351         20,099

Gross profit             $21,436        $22,900        $23,142

PepsiCo's inventory turnover is a ratio that shows the frequency at which the company sells and replenishes its goods during an accounting period.   It is calculated as the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory.

PepsiCo's days in inventory indicates the number of days the company takes to sell its inventory.  It is calculated as the number of days in the period, e.g. 365 days, divided by the inventory turnover ratio.

The Gross profit rate shows the relationship between the gross profit and the sales revenue.  It is the percentage of sales revenue that covers the business expenses and from which net income is derived.

Bowie Sporting Goods manufactures sleeping bags. The manufacturing standards per sleeping bag, based on 5,000 sleeping bags per
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Total Material Variance = $52,130 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Total Material Variance = Actual Cost - Standard Cost

Total Material Variance = Direct Material Price Variance + Direct Material Usage Variance.

But here, we will calculate straight, therefore

Standard cost for 5,200 sleeping bags

= 5,200 \times 4 \times $5.50 = $114,400

Actual Cost = 27,300 \times $6.10 = $166,530

Total Material Variance = $166,530 -  $114,400 = $52,130 Unfavorable

As this is the positive, as also Actual cost is higher than standard therefore, this is unfavorable.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

The payback period for both projects would be calculated as:

Alpha Project

Cost = $530,000

Annual net cash flow = $60,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $530,000 / $60,000

= 8.83

Beta Project

Cost = $170,000

Annual net cash flow = $18,000

Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow

= $170,000 / $18,000

= 9.4

We can see that Alpha Project is better as the payback period is lesser than Beta project
