Answer:

2017

ROI = 18%

Profit Margin = 30%

2018

ROI = 25.2%

Investment Turnover = 84%

Explanation:

The formulas for the required ratio are as follows,

ROI = Operating income / Average invested assets

Profit margin = Operating Income / Sales  

For 2017,

ROI = 6,948,000 / 38,600,000 = 0.18 = 18%

Profit margin = 6,948,000 / 23,160,000 = 0.3 = 30% of sales

For 2018, we compute increased sales first

Sales = 23,160,000 * 1.4 = $32,424,000 after 40% increase

with profit margin staying the same, profit for 2018

Profit = $32,424,000 * 0.3 = $9,727,200

Using the earlier formulas,

ROI = $9,727,200 / 38,600,000 = 0.252 = 25.2%

Investment turnover = Sales / Average invested assets

Investment Turnover = $32,424,000 / 38,600,000  = 0.84 = 84%

Hope that helps.

Answer:

1. Return on investment for 2017

ROI = Operating income/Average invested assets x 100

ROI = $6,948,000/$38,600,000 x 100

ROI = 18%

2. Profit margin for 2017

Profit margin

= Operating income/Sales x 100

= $6,948,000/$23,160,000 x 100

= 30%

3.  Forecast sales for 2018

= 140% x $23,160,000

= $32,424,000

Forecast operating income for 2018

= 140% x $6,848,000

= $9,587,200

Return on investment in 2018

ROI = $9,587,200/$38,600,000 x 100

ROI = 24.84%

4. Investment turnover for 2018

   = Sales/Average invested assets x 100

   = $32,424,000/$38,600,000

   = 0.84 times

Explanation:

Return on investment is the ratio of operating income to average invested assets

Profit margin is the ratio of operating income to sales

Since forecast sales in 2018 increased by 40%, thus, the forecast sales are 140% of original sales (140% x $23,160,000), Increase in sales increases the operating income by 40% (140% x $6,948,000).

Investment turnover is the ratio of sales to average invested assets.

Explanation:

Freshness dates shows for how long a drink can be considered to not have expired. For example Pepsi can be considered to give freshness from 6-9 months after the date printed on the bottle.

Pepsi spent about $25 million on advertising and promotion related to freshness dates. Initially freshness dates were only seen as important by a few people.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

$525,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net inflow or outflow is shown below:

= Total outflow - total inflow

where,

Total outflow = ∈2,000,000 × $1.05 = $2,100,000

Total inflow =  ∈1,500,000 × $1.05 = $1,575,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $2,100,000 - $1,575,000

= $525,000

This amount shows a net outflow as total outflow is greater than the total inflow.
