Answer:

The portion of the initial amount that was given away is:

= 0.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of apples available = 10

Number of those apples given to a friend for Christmas = 4

The portion given away = 4/10 = 0.4

This represents 40% of the whole.

b) The portion given away to the friend for Christmas is a proportion of the whole.  In this case, it represents just 40% of the 10 apples.  This means that only 60% or 0.60 of the original apples are still available or on hand because 40% had been given away.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

When doing time trend analysis for financial ratios we can know how a company's ratio's have changed over time or if they have remained the same, so for example if a company's current ratio was less than 1 a year ago and is 3 now it means that the company was not very liquid a year ago but since then has made changes because of which it is liquid now, so we can see how a company has performed over a certain period of time.

On the other hand peer group analysis tells us how a company is performing compared to other companies in the same industry. For example if our cement company has a profit margin of 7% but the industry average is 15% we know that our company is doing something wrong  or different as compared to the industry and we can look into it.

You are given the following long-run annual rates of return for alternative investment instruments: U.S. Government T-bills 3.10
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The real rate of return is 0.10%

Explanation:

For computing the real rate of return, we need to apply the formula which is shown below:

( 1 + nominal rate) = ( 1 + real rate) × (1 + inflation rate)

So,

The real rate = {(1 + nominal rate) ÷  (1 + inflation rate)} - 1

                     = ((1 + 3.10%) ÷  (1 + 2%)} - 1

                     = (1.031 ÷ 1.02) - 1

                     = 1.0107 - 1

                     = 0.10

The Government T-bills is only the nominal rate so we considered this only

tatiyna

Answer:

$5,000= ending inventory

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Gross margin is normally 40% of sales.

Sales= $25,000

beginning inventory= $2,500

purchases= $17,500

First, we need to determine the cost of goods sold:

COGS= 25,000*0.6= 15,000

Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the ending inventory:

COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory

15,000= 2,500 + 17,500 - ending inventory

5,000= ending inventory
