7. Goop Inc. needs to order a raw material to make a special polymer. The demand for the polymer is forecasted to be normally di

stributed with a mean of 250 gallons and a standard deviation of 100 gallons. Goop sells the polymer for $25 per gallon. Goop purchases raw material for $10 per gallon and must spend $5 per gallon to dispose of all unused raw material due to government regulations. (One gallon of raw material yields one gallon of polymer.) If demand is more than Goop can make, then Goop sells only what it has made and the rest of the demand is lost.
How many gallons should Goop purchase to maximize its expected profit?

natima [27]

Answer:

Shares of Winston, Inc. Stock

The total percentage return on this investment is:

= -11.25%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase cost = $22,760 (400 * $56.90)

Quarterly dividends received = $440 (400 * $0.55) * 2

Sales price = $19,760 (400 * $49.40)

Total cash receipts from the investment = $20,200 ($440 + $19,760)

Total returns from the investment = -$2,560

Total percentage return on the investment = -$2,560/$22,760 * 100

= -11.25%

b) There is a loss of value on the investment amounting to $2,560, which is 11.25%.  The investment actually yielded a negative return.

Return on investment LO A1, A2 ZNet Co. is a web-based retail company. The company reports the following for 2017. Sales $ 23,16
katovenus [111]

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.
