Granfield Company is considering eliminating its backpack division, which reported an operating loss for the recent year of $41,

Crane Company reports the following information (in millions) during a recent year: net sales, $10,700.0; net earnings, $365.0;
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

(a)

(1) return on assets = 8.6%

(2) asset turnover = 2.5 times

(3) profit margin = 3.45%

Explanation:

Given

Net sales = $10,700.0

Net earnings = $365.0

Total assets, ending = $4,155.0

total assets, beginning = $4,340.0

(a)

(1) Return on assets = net income/average total assets

                                 = 365/((4155 + 4340)/2)

                                 = 365/(8495/2)

                                 = 730/8495

                                 = 0.0859

                                 ≈ 0.086 ≈ 8.6% (rounded to 1 decimal place)

(2) Asset turnover = net revenue/average total assets

                              = 10700/((4155 + 4340)/2)

                                 = 10700/(8495/2)

                                 = 21400/8495

                                 = 2.5 times (rounded to 1 decimal place)

(3) Profit margin = net earning/net sales

                         = 365/10700

                         = 0.034 ≈ 3.45% (rounded to 1 decimal place)

Clifford Witter was a dance instructor at the Arthur Murray Dance Studios in Cleveland. As a condition of employment, he signed
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

What would be the result? What additional information, if any, would you need to know to decide the case?

To determine who would win this case, we need to know two things:

  1. The non-compete agreement was supposed to last how many years, e.g. 1 or 2 years, maybe 3?
  2. When did Clifford Witter stopped working for Arthur Murray Dance Studios and when did he started to work for Fred Astaire Dancing Studios?

Most states consider non-compete agreements valid only if they last up to 2 or 3 years at most (which is considered a reasonable time). If Clifford started to work at Fred Astaire before the non-compete clause was over (assuming it lasted a reasonable time) then Arthur Murray would win. But if Clifford started to work at Fred Astaire after the non-compete clause was over, then there is nothing Arthur Murray can do to win the case.

A production line has three machines A, B, and C, with reliabilities of .99, .96, and .93, respectively. The machines are arrang
Lina20 [59]

Answer: plan B is better

Explanation:

Machines _____reliability

__A__________ 0.99

__B__________ 0.96

__C__________ 0.93

Backup machines A, B, C also have similar probabilities :

PLAN 1:

P(success) = 0.99 * 0.96 * 0.93 = 0.8839

P(line fails) = 1 - 0.8839 = 0.1161

P(backup) = 0.99 * 0.96 * 0.93 = 0.8839

P(success) + [p(line fails) * p(backup)]

0.8839 + (0.1161 * 0.8839)

0.8839 + 0.10262079

= 0.9865

Plan B:

Backup is provided for each machine ;

P(success) + [p(line fails) * p(backup)] for each of machine A, B and C

Machine A:

0.99 + (1 - 0.99)*0.99 = 0.9999

Machine B:

0.96 + (1 - 0.96)*0.96 = 0.9984

Machine C:

0.93 + (1 - 0.93)*0.93 = 0.9951

A*B*C = 0.9999 * 0.9984 * 0.9951 = 0.9934

Plan B has greater probability of success.

2.) plan A provides a central or one single backup option should any of the machines fail. However, plan B provides separate backup options for each of machines A, B and C.

3.) choosing a plan may also depend on the cost of providing each backup plan.

The composition of the Fingroup Fund portfolio is as follows: Stock Shares Price A 200,000 $ 35 B 300,000 40 C 400,000 20 D 600,
Flura [38]

Answer: 35.71%  

Explanation:

Value of assets sold and replaced(D) = Stock × Share price

= 600,000 × $25

= $15,000,000.

Value of all assets = (Stock × Share price) of A + (Stock × Share price) of B + (Stock × Share price) of C + (Stock × Share price) of D

= (200,000 × $35) + (300,000 × $40) + (400,000 × $20) + (600,000 × $25)

= $42,000,000

Turnover\ rate = \frac{Value\ of\ the\ assets\ sold\ and\ replaced}{value\ of\ all\ the\ assets}

Turnover\ rate = \frac{15,000,000}{42,000,000}

                               = 0.3571

                                = 35.71%
