Answer:
Each should be used as follows:
Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb
Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb
Explanation:
Suppose
Weight of peppermints = X
Weight of Chocolates = Y
So According to given condition
X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)
1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40
1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)
By multiplying (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get
1.2X + 1.2Y = 48 (Eq. 3)
Now by subtracting (Eq. 2) from (Eq. 3)
(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66
1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18
1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)
-1.2Y = -18
1.2Y = 18
Y = 18/1.2
Y = 15
By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)
X + 15 = 40
X = 40 - 15
X = 25
<u>Check</u>
1.2X + 2.4Y = 66
1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66
66 = 66
Answer:
Explanation:
Total asset turnover = Sales/total assets
3.2= 14000000/Total assets
Total assets = 4375000
E/A = 1-D/A = 1-0.45 = 0.55
Equity = E/A*assets = 0.55*4375000=2406250
Net income = (EBIT-interest)*(1-tax rate)
=(1344000-546000)*(1-0.25)=598500
ROE = Net income/total equity
ROE% = 598500/2406250=0.248
ROE% = 24.8
Answer:
External forces
Explanation:
Best buy is an electronics retailer that aspires to improve customer's lives through technology. They have over 175+ store locations.
However they have been facing challenges in the market with other playera like Circuit City, CompUSA and RadioShack not surviving.
The challenges faced by Best Buy is mostly as a result of external forces in the form of competition with Walmart and Amazon. Resulting in the loss of their share value.
Walmart and Amazon have been able to capture a large part of the electronics market.
Other problems like leadership scandals and inefficient processes also contributed to their problems.
Answer:
(a) $700
(b) $5.50
Explanation:
Weekly fixed costs = $6,000
Weekly Total meals = Average customers per day × No. of days
= 500 × 6
= 3,000
Fixed cost per meal = Weekly fixed costs ÷ Weekly Total meals
= $6,000 ÷ 3,000
= $2
(a) Lowest price in total = Number of customers × Variable costs for each meal
= 200 × $3.50
= $700
(b) Lowest price = Variable costs for each meal + Fixed cost per meal
= $3.50 + $2
= $5.50
