Answer:

Note: <em>See missing wordings in attached picture below</em>

<em />

a. <u>2015</u>

Gross profit percentage = [Total revenue - Cost of crude oil and products] / Total revenue

Gross profit percentage = [$225 - $119] / $225

Gross profit percentage = $106 / $225

Gross profit percentage = 0.47111111

Gross profit percentage = 47.11%

<u>2014</u>

Gross profit percentage = [Total revenue - Cost of crude oil and products] / Total revenue

Gross profit percentage = [$242 - $127] / $242

Gross profit percentage = $115 / $242

Gross profit percentage = 0.475206612

Gross profit percentage = 47.52%

Conclusion: Insignia Corporation are likely to earn less gross profit from each dollar of sales in 2016 because Gross profit percentage decreased from 2014 to 2015.

b. <u>2015</u>

Net profit margin = Net income / Total revenue

Net profit margin = $26/$225

Net profit margin = 0.1155555

Net profit margin = 11.56%

<u />

<u>2014</u>

Net profit margin = Net income / Total revenue

Net profit margin = $37/$242

Net profit margin = 0.152893

Net profit margin = 15.29%

Virginia supply offers their customers trade credit with terms 2/15, net 30. this implies that:
Ivenika [448]

This implies that 2%/15 net 30 is a method of giving cash discounts on purchases. What this means is that if the bill is paid within 15 days, there is a 2% discount. Or else, the total amount is payable within 30 days. For instance, if "$1000 2/15 net 30" is printed on a bill, the buyer can take a 2% discount ($1000 x .02 = $20) and make a payment of $980 within 15 days or pay the whole $1000 in 30 days.
