Answer:

Gross Profit Margin: 53 % and 54%

Inventory days outstanding: 249 days and 252 days.

Explanation:

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales * 100

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit :

Year 1 : 10,498,448 - 4,860,309 = 5,638,139

Year 2 : 8,277,782 - 3,804,031 = 4,473,751

GP margin :

Year 1 = 53%

Year 2 = 54%

Days of inventory :  Average inventory / Cost of Sales * 365 days

Year 1 : 3,320,864 / 4,860,309  * 365 = 249 days

Year 2 : 2,632,898 / 3,804,031 *365 = 252 days

In a local survey, 100 citizens indicated their opinions on a revision to a local land-use plan. Of the 62 persons giving favora
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: The probability that a randomly selected citizen has a favorable or unfavorable opinion is 1 or 100%.

In this question, we have only two answers favorable or unfavorable.

A person can't have both opinions at the same time.

So these events - favorable and unfavorable are mutually exclusive events i.e one event cannot occur when the other occurs.

Let P(F) be the probability of a person who has a favorable opinion

P(UF) be the probability of a person who has an unfavorable opinion

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F) = \frac{Total people with favorable responses}{Total people in the survey}}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F) = \frac{62}{100}}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(UF) = \frac{No. of people with unfavorable opinion}{Total number of people in the survey}}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(UF) = \frac{38}{100}}}

Now, the probability of either one of two mutually exclusive events occurring is:

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F or UF) = P(F) + P(UF)}}

\boldsymbol{\mathbf{P(F or UF) = \frac{62}{100} + \frac{38}{100} = \frac{100}{100}=1}}

For years Print and Copy, a copier machine supplier, enjoyed strong sales and a huge share of the copier market, far ahead of it
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

<h2>The answer, in this case,would be option D. given in the answer choice or closed.</h2>

Explanation:

  • A closed system strategy basically signifies a confined and a non transparent business strategy which is characterized by a limited interaction between the concerned company or business organizations and its customers.
  • Under the closed system, the companies or business organizations often stick to their traditional or conventional products and services and are usually not open or receptive to contemporary and recent market trends and patterns adopted by their competitors.
  • In this case, Print and Copy mostly relies on their selling existing product lines which have traditionally yielded higher revenue and consolidated company's market share in the industry in comparison to its market competitors. It also doesn't depend much on product modification based on respective customer feedback and reviews to enhance customer satisfaction and market goodwill or reputation,thereby,exhibiting infrequent and limited business and customer interaction.

A competitive firm currently produces and sells 7,500 units of output at a price of $2.50 per unit. The firm's average fixed cos
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A. $-2,250

B. The firm should continue to operate in the short run because price is greater than average variable cost

C.The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

D. In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost. As firms exit the industry, supply would fall and this would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, price would rise

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

( $2.50 -  $2.80) × 7,500 = $-2,250

The firm is earning a loss

A firm should shutdown in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

Average variable cost = average total cost- average total cost

 $2.80 - $0.75 = $2.05

2.50 > 2.05 so the firm should continue to operate in the short run.

The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost

I hope my answer helps you.
