Answer: 16.55%

Explanation:

Profit margin is the amount of earnings that a company has left when every expenses and costs have been deducted.

From the information given, firstly, we calculate the return on equity. This will be:

= Growth rate /(1 + Growth rate) × Retention ratio

= 8% / (1 + 8%) × 46%

= 0.08/(1 + 0.08) × 0.46

= 0.08/1.08 × 0.46

= 0.08/0.4968

= 0.1610

= 16.10%

Return on equity, ROE = 16.10%

We then calculate the profit margin. This will be:

= ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier

where,

Equity Multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio

= 1 + 0.37 = 1.37

Profit margin = ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier

= 16.10% / {(1/1.41) × 1.37}

= 16.10% / 0.71 × 1.37

= 0.1610 / 0.9727

= 0.1655

Profit margin = 16.55%

Answer:

A) $24 billion

Explanation:

Here is the complete question :

Potential Real GDP $200 Billion

Natural Rate of Unemployment- 6 Percent

Actual Rate of Unemployment- 12 Percent

Refer to the accompanying data, which is for a specific year in a hypothetical economy for which Okun's law is applicable. The amount of output being forgone by the economy is

C) $15 billion. D) $18 billion. A) $12 billion. B) $24 billion.

According to Okun's law, a 1% decline in unemployment results in a 2% fall in potential GDP

Decline in unemployment = Actual Rate of Unemployment - Natural Rate of Unemployment

12 - 6 = 6%

decline in output = 6% x 2% = 12%

potential GDP lost = 12% x $200 Billion  = 24 billion

almond37 [142]

Answer:

2013 Equity: 298,000

2014 Equity: 327,000

Explanation:

(A)

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

395,000 = 97,000 + Equity

395,000 - 97,000 = Equity

298,000 =  Equity

(B)

if asset increase by 65,000

and liabilities increase by 36,000

(395,000 + 65,000)  = (97,000 + 36,000) + Equity

460,000 = 133,000 + Equity

Equity = 460,000 - 133,000 = 327,000

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $72,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of th
Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h2>Dexter Industries</h2>

1. Depreciation Expense for the three years ending December 31:

i) Straight-line Method:

Depreciation charge = (Cost - Residual Value)/Useful life

= Depreciable amount/useful life

Annual Depreciation = ($72,000 - $4,500)/3 = $22,500

Depreciation Expense:

Year 1      $22,500

Year 2     $22,500

Year 3     $22,500

ii) Units-of-Activity Method

Depreciable amount x (hours used/useful life in hours)

or Depreciable amount per hour x hours used

Depreciable amount = $72,000 - $4,500 = $67,500

Depreciation Expense:

Year 1      $28,500 (7,600/18,000 x $67,500) or 7,600 x $3.75

Year 2     $22,500 (6,000/18,000 x $67,500) or 6,000 x $3.75

Year 3     $16,500 (4,400/18,000 x $67,500) or 4,400 x $3.75

iii) Double-Declining-Balance Method

Steps:

Divide 100/useful life = 33.33333%.  This is the straight-line percentage.

Multiply this by 2, to obtain the percentage for double-declining method.

This gives 66.66666%

Depreciation Expenses:

Year 1 = $48,000 ($72,000 x 66.66666%)

Year 2 = $16,000 (($72,000 - $48,000) x 66.66666%))

Year 3 = $3,500  not $5,000 (($72,000 - $48,000 - $16,000) x 66.66666%))

The last year's depreciation cannot exceed the book value less the residual value.

1B) Total Depreciation Expense for the three years by each method:

i) Straight-line Method

Total Depreciation = $22,500 x 3 = $67,500

ii) Units-of-Activity Method

Total Depreciation = $67,500 ($28,500 + 22,500 + 16,500)

iii) Double-Declining-Balance Method

Total Depreciation = $67,500 ($48,000 + 16,000 + 3,500)

2. The method that yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1:

The Double-Declining-Balance Method

3. The method that yields the most depreciation over the three-year life of the equipment:

None.  They yield the same total depreciation because of the presence of the residual value.

Explanation:

1) Cost of Equipment = $72,000

Useful Life = 3 years or 18,000 operating hours

Residual Value = $4,500

2) Depreciation is systematic reduction of the recorded cost of a long-term asset until the asset's value becomes zero or negligible.  It is an accounting estimate based on the entity's judgement.  It is a way of spreading the cost of a noncurrent asset in accordance with the accrual concept and matching principle over the periods that benefit from the long-term asset.  There are many methods which can be adopted.

Answer:

The answer is: the 80/20 rule

Explanation:

Applied in business, the 80/20 rule (also called the Pareto Principle), states that 20% of your customers account for 80% of your sales. It doesn´t necessarily need to be an exact proportion of 80/20, but as a rule it should help organize our time and activities in dealing with our most important customers.

As a general rule it applies to most activities of a person´s ordinary life, were 20% of the time we spend result in 80% of the benefits.
