ryzh [129]

Answer:

$14,439.8

Explanation:

The computation of operating cash flow is shown below:-

The operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,

EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense - selling and administrative expense

= $44,432 - $14,909 - $4,965 - $10,816

= $13,742

Tax expenses = ( Earnings before interest and tax - interest expenses ) × tax rate of 40%

= ($13,742 - $3,074) × 40%

= $10,668 × 40%

= $4,267.2

So, the operating cash flow

= $13,742 + $4,965 - $4,267.2

= $14,439.8

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a.Titanium = $2,890,500

Platinum = $5,185,000

b. Platinum is more profitable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

For Titanium

Total gross margin = 5,000 × $1,590

= $7,950,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 5,000 ÷ 200) + (1% × $7,950,000)

= $1,700,000 + $79,500

= $1,779,500

Promotion cost = $2,850,000 × 80%

= $2,280,000

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Promotion cost

= $7,950,000 - $1,779,500 - $2,280,000

= $2,890,500

For Platinum

Total Gross margin = 20,000 × $ 325

= $6,500,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 20,000 ÷ 2,000) + (1% × $6,500,000 )

= $680,000 + $65,000

= $745,000

Cost of promotion = $2,850,000 × 20%

= $570,000

Since, 80% is allocated for promotion expenses of titanium so we assume 20% for Platinum

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total Gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Cost of promotion

= $6,500,000 - $745,000 - $570,000

= $5,185,000

B. Since, Platinum is higher than Titanium. So, Platinum is more profitable.
