Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
2018:
Accounts receivable (net) = $20
Net sales = $115
Cost of goods sold = $60
Net income = $20
Inventory turnover = 5.22
Return on equity = Return on assets × Equity multiple
= 10.3% × 2.36
= 24.308% or 24.3%
Therefore, Dowling's return on equity for 2018 is 24.3%.
Answer:
696,325 Pounds
Explanation:
The computation of the direct material purchase budget is given below:
Here we assume that
one pound = 16 ounces
Now total wax needed is
= Production of Finished Goods × Pounds of wax needed for production
= 730,000 candles × 11 ÷ 16
= 501,875 pounds
Now
Total direct material purchased = (Total Wax needed + Ending Inventory, Jan.31 - opening inventory) × unit price
= (490,625 Pounds + 12,900 pounds - 17,400 pounds) × $1.40 per pound
= 696,325 Pounds
Answer:
C. Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
Explanation:
Mary buys a lottery ticket and promises to buy her friend Sharon a new pair of shoes if she checks the lottery results while Mary is away.
Sharon agrees to do so, provided she has the time for it.
If Sharon fails to check the results and Mary wins the lottery, then it would be true of the contract between Mary and Sharon that Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
The reason is Mary's promise is based on the condition that Sharon checks the result, Sharon's promise is based on the condition that 'if she has the time for it.'
The condition was not met by Sharon hence she cannot claim a breach of contract because she did not check the results, similarly, Mary cannot sue Sharon because sharon made it clear that she will only check If she has the time.
Answer:
Price Risk, Reinvestment Risk, Investment Horizon and Longer maturity Bond.
Explanation:
- Price risk is the risk of a decline in a bond's value due to an increase in interest rates. This risk is higher on bonds that have long maturities than on bonds that will mature in the near future.
- Reinvestment risk is the risk that a decline in interest rates will lead to a decline in income from a bond portfolio. This risk is obviously high on callable bonds. It is also high on short-term bonds because the shorter the bond's maturity, the fewer the years before the relatively high old-coupon bonds will be replaced with new low-coupon issues.
- Which type of risk is more relevant to an investor depends on the investor's investment horizon, which is the period of time an investor plans to hold a particular investment.
- Longer maturity bonds have high price risk but low reinvestment risk, while higher coupon bonds have a higher level of reinvestment risk and a lower level of price risk.
When there is highly inelastic supply of the factor and highly inelastic demand of the factor, in these situations the owners supply factors of production are the most likely to earn economic rent. So, the answer should be:
factors of production are the most likely to earn economic rent when they are highly inelastic supply of factor and highly inelastic demand of the factor.
