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

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

Explanation:

The real income is determined by adjusting the nominal income for inflation. The consumer price index (CPI) is used to measure the rate of inflation.

Real income = Nominal income × CPI Base year/ CPI in current year

Real Income = 32000 × 120/125

=$30,720

Change Real income

Change in real income ($) = 30,720 - 30,000

= $ 720

Change in real income (%) = (720/30,000) × 100

= 2%

Real income has increased by $720 in terms of dollar and 2% in percentage

The profit, P, in dollars for manufacturing n units of a certain product is given by the formula P = 3n2 - 90n - 720. (Assume th

sesenic [268]

Answer:

$n=40$

Explanation:

We want to know the value of $n$ when $P=480$

$P=3n^2-90n-720\\480=3n^2-90n-720\\3n^2-90n-720-480=0\\3n^2-90n-1200=0\\3(n^2-30n-400)=0\\n^2-30n-400=0$

From here, we can find the factors of the quadratic equation, we need two numbers that multiplied give -400 and added -30. Since they are factors of 400, we can choose -20x20 or -40x10. When adding -20 and 20 the result is zero, but the sum of -40 and 10 is -30. Then:

$n^2-30n-400=0\\(n-40)(n+10)=0\\$

The solutions of the quadratic equation are $n-40=0$ and $n+10=0$ :

$n_1=40\\n_2=-10$

Since $n$ is a positive integer:

$n=40$

Dr Salaries Expense 3,920

Cr Salaries Payable 3,920

Dr Salaries Expense 3,920

Cr Salaries Payable 3,920

The Adjustment will be :

1,960 x 2 = 3,920

Therefore the pay that occured in New Year's Day will not be used because it falls in the next year.
