Available Options Are:

a. Cost of Goods Sold

b. Net Profit Margin

c. None of these

d. Asset Turnover

Answer:

Option B. Net Profit Margin

Explanation:

The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.

Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.

Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:

Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.

You plan to make a series of deposits in an interest-bearing account. You will deposit $1,000 today, $2,000 in 2 years, and $8,0
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$5,641

Explanation:

DEPOSIT NOW  

$1000 * FVIF 9%,8 PERIODS

= $1000 * 1.9926

= $1992.6

IN 2 YEARS

= $2000 * FVIF 9%,6 PERIODS

= $2000 * 1.6771

= $3354.20

IN 5 YEARS

= $8000 * FVIF 9%, 3 PERIODS

= $8000*1.2950

= $10360

WITHDRAWAL: IN 3 YEARS

= ($3000) * FVIF 9%, 5 PERIODS

= ($3000) * 1.5386

= ($4615.80)

IN 7 YEARS

= ($5000) * FVIF 9%, 1 PERIOD

= ($5000) * 1.0900

= ($5450)

Total value = $1992.6  + $3354.20 + $10360  - $4615.80 - $5450

Total value = $5,641

So, the total future value after eight years is $5,641

Answer:

No.

You cannot open up and put money into a Roth IRA in your child's name.

Explanation:

The IRS allows that any child, regardless of age, can contribute to an IRA if they have earned income.  This means that only a child that has earned income can have an IRA opened for him or her.  As the child is still underage, the IRA must be set up as a custodial account by the parent or another adult. This implies that the child cannot operate the account during the period she is underage but can have money saved in the account from her earned income.
