Using the information below, compute the raw materials inventory turnover:
fredd [130]

Answer:

The raw material inventory turnover is 9.2 times or 40 days

Explanation:

This problem requires us to compute raw material inventory turnover. The inventory turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the inventory used for a period by the average inventory for that period. Average inventory is used instead of ending inventory because many companies' merchandise fluctuates greatly throughout the year.

So RM inventory turnover = RM used/Average inventory

                                            = 104,600/11,350*

                                            = 9.2 times or 40 days**

* Average inventory = (9,900+ 12,800)/2

** (365/9.2) = 40 days

Mitch is a director and officer of Numero Uno, Inc. Mitch makes a marketing decision that results in a dramatic decrease in prof
Stells [14]

Answer:

As long as Mitch acted in good faith and tried to make the best possible decision regarding all available information, and his decision was something that any other person could have made, his mistake has to be considered a bad or negative business judgement (business judgement rule). He thought that his actions would benefit the corporation, but he was wrong and the corporation lost money. That types of mistakes are considered normal and just that, mistakes that anyone can make.

In regards with the second issue, that Mitch is a shareholder and a director of a firm that will directly compete with Numero Uno, he must inform the board about this and resign to either Numero Uno or One of a Kind.

2. Suppose you borrow $2,000 at 5% and you are going to make annual payments of $734.42. How long before you pay off the loan
Alona [7]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

The computation of the time period is shown below

Present value of annuity = Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate

$2,000 = $734.42 × [1 - (1.05)^-n] ÷ 0.05

$2,000 = $14,688.4 × [1-(1.05)^-n]

1-(1.05)^-n = ($2000 ÷ $14,688.4)

(1.05)^-n = 1 - ($2000 ÷ $14,688.4)

( 1 ÷ 1.05)^n = 0.86383813

Now take the log to the both sides

n × log(1 ÷ 1.05) = log0.86383813

n = log0.86383813 ÷ log (1 ÷ 1.05)

= 3 years
