1. Provide the definitions of throughput, inventory and operational expense given in The Goal. How do they compare with the traditional definitions? Do you find them useful, and why? Throughput is the rate at which the system generates money through sales while inventory is all the money that the system has invested in purchasing things which it intends to sell.
The final component of trading accounts is gross profit; gross profit is the amount of money that is left after the cost of goods sold has been taken away from the stock turnover. The formula for gross profit is sales turnover – cost of goods sold. According to business alpha the gross profit was 410,000.
The organization should primarily focus on the incremental cash flow because the incremental cash flow holds a marginal benefit from the project. Depreciation is considered to be an expense item which means that the greater the depreciation, the larger the expense will be to the organization. Therefore, if Caledonia was looking at the project from an accounting profit view, the profit would be much lower than that of the free cash flow. 2. What are the incremental cash flows for the project in years 1 through 5 and how do these cash flows differ from accounting profits or earnings?
EGT1 TASK 1 McConnell, Brue and Flynn define Marginal Revenue as “the change in total revenue that results from the sale of one additional unit of a firm’s product; equal to the change in total revenue divided by the change in the quantity of the product sold.” (McConnell, Brue and Flynn, 2012). When we look at the relationship between total revenue and marginal revenue we can see that it is purely a mathematical relationship. The formula that is used to determine Total Revenue is the following; Total Revenue = Price X Quantity, (TR = P X Q). McConnell, Brue and Flynn also define Marginal Cost they state that it is “the extra cost of producing one more unit of output; equal to the change in total cost divided by the change in output.” (McConnell, Brue and Flynn 2011). The marginal cost and total cost is directly related to each other.
Profit Maximization is the process that a firm uses to establish where the best output and price levels are, in order to maximize its return. There are two primary methods that can be used to establish profit maximization. One method is the Marginal Revenue minus the Marginal Cost (MR-MC) method. When utilizing this method economists assume that profit would be at its highest when MR and MC are equal, which denotes that for every item made MP=MR-MC. When / if MR is higher than MC then MP would result in a profit for Company A.
These ratios assess the ability of the company to generate earnings, profits and cash flows relative to some metric, often the amount of money invested. They highlight how effectively the profitability of a company is being managed. Common examples of profitability ratios include return on sales, return on investment, return on equity, return on capital employed, return on capital invested, gross profit margin and net profit margin. All of these rations indicate how well this company is performing at generating profits or revenues relative to a certain metric. Solvency ratios this is one of many ratios used to measure a company’s ability to meet long-term obligations.
it represents the purchase price of a business that is about to be sold. D. it is the difference between the fair market value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets as compared with the purchase price of the acquired business. 42) Easton Company and Lofton Company were combined in a purchase transaction. Easton was able to acquire Lofton at a bargain price. The sum of the market or appraised values of identifiable assets acquired less the fair value of liabilities assumed exceeded the cost to Easton.
BTEC FIRST UNIT 3 P1 All businesses need money to survive in order to buy materials and pay wages and other types of expenses or costs, like utility bills (gas, electricity and water), business rates and advertising. Money coming into a business is called income or revenue and usually comes from customers who pay for the goods and/or services that business provides. If a business' income is greater than its expenditure, it is said to be making profit since money is entering the business than income - then the business is making a loss. Firstly start-up costs are faced once, so they are not too much of a problem. Operating costs, however, are faced every fortnight for the whole time of the business.
When preparing the income statement, the first entry is revenue. The sum of money received from selling a
What is the difference between a firm’s cash cycle and its operating cycle? A company’s cash cycle is the average length of time from when a firm pays cash for its inventory to when it receives cash from the sale of that inventory. On the other side an operating cycle is the average length of time between when a firm purchases inventory and when it gets the cash for the product. b. How will a firm’s cash cycle be affected if a firm increases its inventory, all else being equal?
