Answer:
(A) Interest coverage charge ratio= 6.21
(B) Fixed charge coverage = 2.84
(C) Profit margin ratio= 8.57%
(D) Total assets turnover= 1.55
(E) Return on assets= 13.26%
Explanation:
(A) The Interest coverage charge ratio can be calculated as follows= EBIT/Interest expense
= 45,300/7,300
= 6.21
(B) The fixed charge coverage can be calculated as follows
= income before fixed charge + interest/fixed charges + interest
= 45,300+13,300/7,300+13,300
= 58,600/20,600
= 2.84
(C) The profit margin ratio can be calculated as follows
= Net income/sales × 100
= 22,800/266,000 × 100
=0.0857 × 100
= 8.57%
(D) The total assets turnover can be calculated as follows
= Sales/total assets
= 266,000/172,000
= 1.55
(E) The return on assets can be calculated as follows
= Net income/Total assets × 100
= 22,800/172,000 × 100
= 0.13255×100
= 13.26%
Answer: d. Dynamic pricing strategy
Explanation:
The companies mentioned above are increasingly turning towards Dynamic pricing in order to maximize sales and therefore increase profitability.
Dynamic pricing refers to a strategy where goods are priced at the optimal price based on the conditions at the time. In other words, it involves trying to sell at a price that is cheapest for the customer based on factors such as consumer willingness to pay, competition and others.
Prices can therefore change multiple times in as little a period as a day just to ensure that customers buy the goods being offered.
Exit the roadway. Hope this helps!
