The gross margin ratio is a percentage resulting from dividing the amount of a company's gross profit by the amount of its net sales. In this case it would be 118,350/466,300 = 25.38%
I Think its answer C: Fixed and Variable rates
Answer:
The Degree of Risk
Explanation:
With respect to the consumer buying process, the degree of risk is perhaps the most important factor that affects the time, effort, and expense dedicated to the search for information. When the higher risk is involved, we spend a lot of time in searching for information either from our external sources or internal sources. When the risk factor is less, then we do not spend much time and effort on searching for information. For example, when we are buying a packet of chips, we do not search information by spending much time and effort. But when we have to buy a car or a laptop, then we spend much time in searching for the information from all of the available sources because bad or wrong decision can cost us more in the case of buying a car or a laptop as compared to the buying of a packet of chips.
The question is incomplete. The complete Question is as follows,
Whistle Works manufacturers safety whistle keychains. They have the following information available to prepare their master budget:
Units to be produced
October 4,500
November 4,750
December 5,200
Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?
A) 4,500 ounces
B) 13,575 ounces
C) 13,425 ounces
D) 4,525 ounces
Answer:
Purchases = 13575 ounces
Option B is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.
Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces
Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit
Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces
Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500
Production = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
13500 = 1350 + Purchases - 1425
13500 + 1425 - 1350 = Purchases
Purchases = 13575 ounces
