Answer:

-203.4%

Explanation:

Initial investment = 2,500*349*10%

Initial investment = 87,250

Return = (278 - 349) * 2,500 unit

Return = -71 * 2,500 unit

Return = -177,500

Return on invested capital = Return / Initial investment

Return on invested capital = -177,500/87,250

Return on invested capital = 2.034383954154728

Return on invested capital = -203.4%

The budget for making the movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon was one-fifth the budget for making Harry Potter: The Half Blood Pri
sergey [27]

Answer:

The budget for The Twilight Saga: New Moon = $50 million

Explanation:

Let the budget for Twilight Saga: New Moon = T

Let the budget for Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince = H

We are given the following:

T=\frac{1}{5}H (The budget for Twilight Saga is one-fifth the budget for Harry Potter)

Cross multiplying the equation

5T = H  - - - - (1)

H + T = 300,000,000 - - - - - (2) (Together the budgets totaled $300 million)

Next, let us substitute the value of H in equation (2) with equation (1)

(5T) + T = 300,000,000

6T = 300,000,000

T = \frac{300,000,000}{6} \\T = 50,000,000

Therefore, the budget for The Twilight Saga: New moon = $50,000,000

And the budget for Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince = $250,000,000

Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 730,000 candles for the January. Wax is required to produce a candle. Assume 13 ounc
Olin [163]

Answer:

Direct material budget (in pounds)= 588,125

Direct material budget ($)= $941,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 730,000 candles

Direct material required for each unit:

13 ounces of wax

The estimated January 1 wax inventory is 18,600 pounds.

The desired January 31 wax inventory is 13,600 pounds.

Candle wax costs $1.60 per pound.

The direct material purchases are determined by the production requirements, the beginning inventory, and the ending inventory.

First, we need to calculate the amount of wax for the period:

Production= 730,000 candles*13 ounces= 9,490,000 ounces

In pounds= 9,490,000/16= 593,125 pounds.

Direct material budget (in pounds)= Production for the month + ending inventory - beginning inventory

Direct material budget (in pounds)= 593,125 + 13,600 - 18,600= 588,125

Direct material budget ($)= 588,125*1.6= $941,000

If a store sells a good at the market price, even though the government authorities have set the minimum price that can be charg
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D, Legal Market for a market price that is lower.

Explanation:

If there is a store which sells the goods at the market price even though the government authorities have set the minimum price that can be charged, it means store is selling the product at a price which is higher than the minimum price set by the government, but it doesn't mean that the store owner is doing any illegal trading. This is because the government has set the lower price limit but that ceiling price is non binding. It is not necessary for the market sellers to sell at the price given by government. So they are operating in a legal market for a market price that is lower.
