Answer:

The correct answer is 26.05%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Beginning Assets = 12,888 ( million)

Ending Assets = 13,099 (million)

Operating profit = 3,385 (million)

So, Average Assets for the year = (12,888 + 13,099) ÷ 2 = 12,993.5 (million)

So, we can calculate the return on investment by using following formula:

Return on investment = Operating profit ÷ Average assets for the year

By putting the value, we get

Return on investment = 3,385 ÷ 12,993.5 (million)

= 0.2605 or 26.05%

The present value of a lump sum future amount:__________
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

  • <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.

The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.

Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:

  • a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
  • <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.

How is the present value related to the future value?

They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus,  the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false

How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?

  • c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
  • d) increases as the interest rate decreases

The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).

Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

Ugo [173]

Answer:

D) were highly likely to be in their lower-achieving group.

Explanation:

Theory X refers to a motivation theory developed by Douglas McGregor. Theory X can be described as a pessimistic view of humanity and human workers. Managers who support theory X tend to dislike their own work and believe everyone else dislikes their work, are not ambitious and believe everyone else is not ambitious either, and finally don't like to assume responsibility over their actions and believe everyone else is like them.

So it shouldn't be a surprise that managers who support theory X are underachievers.

Explanation:

The following information was taken from the income statement and balance sheet of The Perryman Company for the years 2018 and 2019:

                                                 2019                2018

Sales revenues                     $590,000       $574,000

Net income                               212,000          184,000

Total assets                            2,142,000      1,998,000

Total stockholders’ equity        712,000        690,000

Compute the following ratios for 2019:

Net profit margin

Asset turnover

Return on assets

The answers are now explained as follows:

a. Net profit margin for 2019

This can be calculated as follows:

Net profit margin for 2019 = Net income in 2019 / Sales revenues in 2019 = $212,000 / $590,000 = 0.3593, or 35.93%

b. Asset turnover for 2019

This can be calculated as follows:

Asset turnover for 2019 = Sales revenues / Average total assets = Sales revenues in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $590,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.29 times

c. Return on assets for 2019

This can be calculated as follows:

Return on assets = Net income / Average total assets = Net income in 2019 / ((Total assets in 2019 + Total assets in 2018) / 2) = $212,000 / (($2,142,000 + $1,998,000) / 2) = 0.1024, or 10.24%
