Answer:

Its operating expenses were $ 3.588 B

Explanation:

The operating ratio is the ratio of operating expense to the operating or revenue generated.

This ratio is used for comparison of results from the operations of various industries.

Given that the operating ratio of 78% and the operating revenue is $4.6B, the operating expense T may be computed as

78% = T/4.6 * 100%

T = 4.6 *.78

= $3.588 B

The computation of two different depreciation schedules is shown below:-

a. Using the Double-declining balance method

Year Equipment Cost Depreciation rate Amount

2005 $90,000 50% $45,000

2006 $45,000 50% $22,500

2007 $22,500 50% $11,250

2008 No depreciation as it is lower that straight line method that is $22,500 also we took the double rate of 25% so we consider 50%

b. Using the straight line method

Straight Line Depreciation Method:

$100,000 - $10,000

= $90,000

Year Equipment Cost Depreciation rate Amount

2005 $90,000 25% $22,500

2006 $90,000 25% $22,500

2007 $90,000 25% $22,500

2008 $90,000 25% $22,500

Depreciation rate is

= 1 ÷ 4 years

= 25

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$1,102,820

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of yearly cash inflows - initial investment

where,

Present value of yearly cash inflows is

= Annual year cash inflows × PVIFA factor

= $300,000 × 2.9906

= $897,180

And, the initial investment is

= $1,500,000 + $500,000

= $2,000,000

So the net present value is

= $897,180 - $2,000,000

= $1,102,820

Part d

Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

Margin of safety in % = (Expected Sales - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00

Which function(s) of money informs the consumer what currency to use to obtain a good or service?

inna [77]

The third function explains that money is a medium of exchange. It means that it is better to use the money used in the country itself to gain better service because it would provide better protection. Costumers would be more satisfied if the business would accept the money they have and it would be safer and mutually good for both if the customer would transact using the currency country's currency.
