Dove, Inc., had additions to retained earnings for the year just ended of $643,000. The firm paid out $40,000 in cash dividends,

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Earnings for the year = Addition to retained earnings + Dividend paid = $643,000 + $40,000 = $683,000

a. Earnings per share = Earnings / No of shares = $683,000 / 750,000 = 0.91

Dividend per share = Dividend / No of shares = $40,000 / 750,000 = 0.05

Book value per share = Ending equity / No of shares = $7,380,000 / 750,000 = $9.84

b. Market price per share is 30.8. Market to book ratio = $30.80 / $9,84 = $3.13

c. Price earning ratio = $30.80/$0.91 = $33.82

Total sales = $10,680,000, Sales per share = 14.24

Price sales ratio = Market price / Sales = $30.80 / $14.24 = $2.16

VashaNatasha [74]

The fraction of fertilizer in the final mixture is 1/9.

A natural or synthetic material called fertilizer that contains chemical ingredients that help plants grow and produce more. Fertilizers may restore chemical elements that previous crops removed from the soil or increase the land's inherent fertility.

Most of the time, fertilizers' contribution to food production is overlooked. For plants, fertilizers are food. The nutrients that crops remove from the soil and replace with fertilizers. Crop yields and agricultural output would be much lower without the addition of fertilizers.

12 oz fertilizer to 96 oz water will make 12+96 = 108 oz of liquid

=12/108

=1/9

1/9 is the fraction of fertilizer in the final mixture.

e - 6 Incremental

f - 1 Recurring

b) Opportunity costs are those that try to measure and show the sacrifice done at the time of making a decision when that sacrifice represents the best second option that the person could have done.

c) Fixed costs are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.

d) Variable costs are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.

e) Incremental costs are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.

f) Recurring costs are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.

g) Direct costs are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.

h) Non-recurring costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.
