Answer:

In this section, we are going to take a closer look at what is behind the demand curve and the behavior of consumers. How does a consumer decide to spend his/her income on the many different things that he/she wants, i.e., food, clothing, housing, entertainment? We assume that the goal of the consumer is to maximize his/her level of satisfaction or joy, constrained by his/her income.

Economists use the term utility as a measure of satisfaction, joy, or happiness. How much satisfaction does a person gain from eating a pizza or watching a movie? Measuring utility is based solely on the preferences of the individual and has nothing to do with the price of the good. Let’s do an experiment in utility.

Step 01: Get some of your favorite candy, pastries, or cookies.

Step 02: Take a bite and evaluate, on a scale from 0 to 100 (with 100 being the greatest utility), the level of utility from that bite. Record the marginal utility of that bite (i.e., how much you get from that one additional bite).

Step 03: Repeat step 02. It is important to be consistent with each unit consumed, i.e., the same size and no drinking milk or water part way though. When you run out of candy or your marginal utility goes to zero you can stop.

Answer:

A. Inventory turnover ratio = 5.927

B. Current ratio = 0.95

C. Current ratio after adjusting for the LIFO reserve =  0.97

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

Given,

Cost of goods sold = 164,682

Average inventory = Beginning inventory + Ending inventory

Average inventory = $13,862 + $13,921

Average inventory = $27,783

Putting the values into the formula, we will get

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio = $164,682 ÷ $27,783

Inventory turnover ratio = 5.927

We know,

Days in inventory = $365 ÷ $5.927

Days in inventory = 61.6 days

Requirement B

We know,

Current ratio = Current asset ÷ Current liabilities

Given,

Current asset = $64,131

Current liabilities = $67,822

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Current ratio = Current asset ÷ Current liabilities

Current ratio = $64,131 ÷ $67,822

Current ratio = 0.95

We know,

The current ratio shows us how a company pays its current liabilities.

We assume the inventory is reported in the current asset using the LIFO method.

Requirement C

We know,

Current ratio after adjusting for the LIFO reserve = (Current asset + LIFO reserve) ÷ Current liabilities.

Given,

Current asset = $64,131

LIFO reserve = 1,508

Current liabilities = $67,822

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Current ratio after adjusting for the LIFO reserve = (Current asset + LIFO reserve) ÷ Current liabilities

Current ratio after adjusting for the LIFO reserve = ($64,131 + 1,508) ÷ $67,822

Current ratio after adjusting for the LIFO reserve = 65,639 ÷ $67,822 = 0.97

Current ratio after adjusting for the LIFO reserve =  0.97

sosa company has $39 per unit in variable costs and $1,900,000 per year in fixed costs. demand is estimated to be 138,000 units
satela [25.4K]

Managerial accounting is used to give relevant information to people within a company, mostly management, to aid them in making more informed business decisions. Financial accounting is used to generate financial statements that benefit external users.

Annual fixed cost is $1,900,000.

Producing 138,000 units annually

Fixed cost per unit is $13.77 divided by 1,900,000 units.

$39 is the variable cost per unit.

Fixed cost per unit plus variable cost per unit equals total cost per unit ($13.77 + $39 = $52.77 per unit).

Markup equals Total Cost * 35% (52.77 * 35% = $18.47),

Sale price equals total costs plus a markup of 52.77 plus 18.47, or $71.24.

Any expenses that vary according to how much a business produces and sells are considered variable costs. Contrarily, fixed costs are those outlays that don't change regardless of how much a business produces.

Getler Inc.'s projected capital budget is $2,000,000, its target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity, and its forecaste
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option e (0 $ 200,000).

Explanation:

Residual dividend policy should be used for businesses that fund their capital needs by wealth earned at home. Such that, companies can make investments only if all investment requirements are satisfied by something like internal resources instead of moving to something like the marketplace.

Capital Budget = $2,000,000

Capital structure will be:

Debt = 40%    

Equity = 60%

Income = $1,000,000

So let us measure the balance of our Expected Debt and Equity first:

Debt = 2,000,000 \times  40  \ percent

        = 800,000

Equity = 2,000,000\times  60 \ percent

           = 1,2000,000

As we know our income will be $1,000,000.

Then maybe we can have been using our inner income of $1,000,000 to funding everyone's capital requirement of $1,2000,000.

So,

Residual amount = 1,000,000 - 1,2000,000

                            = -200,000

This suggests that our organization has to sell upwards of $200,000 shares of assets and therefore will not be capable to afford to pay some distributions yet. So that option e would be the right answer.
