Available Options Are:
a. Cost of Goods Sold
b. Net Profit Margin
c. None of these
d. Asset Turnover
Answer:
Option B. Net Profit Margin
Explanation:
The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.
Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:
Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.

1. The net cash after-tax cash flow effect of the preceding information of using the indirect method.
First, we need to calculate the pretax income.
Pretax income = Sales - Expenses other than depreciation - depreciation expense
Pretax income = $260 - $140 - $50 = $70
Also,
Tax expense = 35% × pretax income $70 = $24.5
Therefore, the indirect method would be;
Pretax income
$70
Less:
Tax expense
($24.5)
After tax income
$45.5
Add:
Depreciation expense
$50
After-tax cash flow
$95.5
Direct method
After tax cash operating income
[($260 - $140 - $50) × (1 - tax rate 35%)]
$45.5
Add :
Depreciation expense
$50
After tax cash flow
$95.5
