Answer:
- If a company has a profit margin of 10%, it means that the company earned a net income of $0.10 for each dollar of sales. A 10% PROFIT MARGIN MEANS THAT THE COMPANY EARNED 10 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR OF REVENUE.
- If a company's operating margin increases but its profit margin decreases, it could mean that the company paid more in interest or taxes. OPERATING PROFIT = GROSS PROFIT - FIXED COSTS, NET PROFIT = OPERATING PROFIT - (INTERESTS AND TAXES). IF TAXES OR INTERESTS INCREASE, NET PROFITS DECREASE
Explanation:
there are several profitability ratios, the most important ones are:
- profit margin = net profit / total revenue
- gross profit margin = gross profit / total revenue
- return on equity = net income / total shareholder equity
- return on assets = net income / total assets
Answer:
The company should provide, in average, 90 jobs per month in order to break even.
Explanation:
We will assume that the variable costs are proportional to the quantity and thus VC=a*Q
the profit obtained is
profit = P*Q , (Price [$/job] * Jobs sold [jobs])
and the total costs are
total costs= FC+VC = FC + a*Q , FC=fixed costs
in order to break even the quantity sold should be enough to cover all costs, therefore
profit = total costs
P*Q = FC + a*Q → Q= FC/(P-a)
thus
Q= FC/(P-a) = $3240 / ($60/job - $24/job) = 90 jobs
Answer:
the total cost in the flexible budget is $8,100
Explanation:
The computation of the total cost in the flexible budget is shown below;
Variable cost per unit is
= $4000 ÷ 8,000 units
= 0.50 per unit
The total cost for the flexible budget is
= Variable costs+ fixed costs
= 0.5 × 8,200 units + $4,000
= $4,100 + $4,000
= $8,100
Hence, the total cost in the flexible budget is $8,100
They don't have to pay as much interest.
Answer:
$1,420,000
Explanation:
Total sales of October = $1,300,000. Collected in November = (60% of 1,300,000) = $780,000
November sales = $1,600,000. 40% sales of November = $640,000
Total cash collection = $780,000 + $760,000
Total cash collection = $1,420,000
So, the cash that Pinewood will receive in November is $1,420,000.
