Answer:
a. Gross profit rate = Gross profit / sales
= <u> $710,000 * 100</u>
$1,230,000
= 57.72%
b. <u>Supreme Operating Income </u>
Gross Profit $710,000
Operating expenses <u>(440,000)</u>
Operating Profit <u> 270,000</u>
<u />
c. Return on Asset = Return/ Average Asset
= <u>$390,000 * 100 </u>
$4,000,000
= 9.75%
d. Return on equity = Return / Average equity
= <u>$390,000 * 100 </u>
$2,400,000
= 16.25%
e. Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share / earnings per share
= $88/ $4
= 22
Explanation:
Computation of Gross profit
$'000
Net Sales 1,230
Cost of goods sold <u>(520)</u>
Gross Profit 710
Answer:
It is <u>safer</u> for a company to issue equity than debt
It is <u>riskier</u> for an investor to buy equity in a company than debt in the same firm
Explanation:
If company issues debt that it has to make fixed interest payments, thus even if company is making losses, it has to pay interest which is not in case of equity. Hence, it is riskier option for the company to raise debt.
On the other, if investor in debt, then he will get fixed interest, thus debt option is relatively cheap than equity for investor
Answer:
E) none of the above
12.70% and 2.49% standard deviation
Explanation:
We multiply probability by the outcome to get the weighted amount, we add them and get the expected return.
probability outcome weighted
0.25 0.10 0.0250
0.45 0.12 0.0540
0.30 0.16 0.0480
expected return 0.1270
Now that we got the expected return at 12.7%
We now subtract the possible outcome with the expected return and square them:
(0.127-0.1)^2
(0.127-0.12)^2
(0.127-0.16)^2
Then we add them and divide by the sample which is 3
0.000622
²√ 0.000622 = 0.024944383
<u><em>Final step,</em></u> will be the square root which gives the standard deviation
of 2.49% = 0.024947
Answer:
- The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
- Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
Answer/Explanation:
Statistics educators often talk about their desired learning goals for students, and invariably, refer to outcomes such as being statistically literate, thinking statistically, and using good statistical reasoning. Despite the frequent reference to these outcomes and terms, there have been no agreed upon definitions or distinctions. Therefore, the following definitions were proposed by Garfield (2005 and have been elaborated in Garfield and Ben-Zvi (2008).
Statistical literacy is regarded as a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of adults’ numeracy and literacy. Statistical literacy involves understanding and using the basic language and tools of statistics: knowing what basic statistical terms mean, understanding the use of simple statistical symbols, and recognizing and being able to interpret different representations of data (Garfield 1999; Rumsey 2002; Snell 1999)
