Its average sales per day were $ 668.49 during 2008 and its average collection period was 99 days. This represented an improvement from the average collection period of 105 days in 2005. 3. SciTronics apparently needed $ 29,000 of inventory at year-end 2008 to support its operations during 2008. Its activity during 2008 as measured by the cost of goods sold was $ 74,000.
C) The answers are different because if the interest is left untouched, it makes the principal amount higher each year, giving more money after 10 years. Compounded interest allows for more money that simple interest would. 2. A) If the individual retires at the age of 65, having started the program at age 40, there would be $219,318 in the account. $3,000 x (8% in 25 years) 3000 x 73.106 = $219,318 B) If
20,000 bags: 200,000- 80,000 (fixed cost)- 100,000 (variable cost)= $20,000 DFL= 20,000 = 2 20,000 – 10,000 DFL= 2 25,000 bags: DFL= 45,000 = 1.29 45,000 – 10,000 DFL=1.29 e. What is the degree of combined leverage at both sales levels? DCL= DOL x DFL 20,000 Bags: DCL=
1. How would you characterize the snack chip category and Frito-Lays competitive position in the category? * The United States snack food industry recorded retail sales of $37 billion in 1990, a 5 percent increase from the year before. A large source of growth results from increased per capita consumption. Consumers are buying more snack chips per person, an increase of 2 pounds over four years.
There will be increase in overhead with the growth, it cannot be considered like a totally new investment. Most of the overhead costs in this scenario are already fixed costs. * Erosion of Jell-O contribution margin? * Yes. I would consider erosion of Jell-o cost as it is significant which is 20% and we have to consider that it is also growing at the same rate as powder market.
Productivity, as measured by the output per hour by the business sector, grew at a lower rate during the Reagan years than the 7 years prior. The growth rate of 1.3% during Reagan’s tenure was .2% higher than the 6 years afterwards, but .3% lower than the years preceding (Niskanen & Moore 1996). Inflation is an increase in the average price level and is not a positive occurrence. When Reagan took office, the REAGAN-SIDE ECONOMICS consumer price index (CPI) was at a high 13.5%, by the end of his terms, the CPI had been decreased to 4.1% (Niskanen & Moore 1996). Those who are critical of Reagan’s policy speak of the explosion of the United States’ budget deficit during the 1980s.
a. They are recorded at cost and adjusted for inflation. b. They are recorded at market value for financial reporting because historical cost is arbitrary. c. Accounting principles require that companies report assets on the income statement.
The company’s net cash from operations also decreased from 262.69 million to 233.58 million in 2005, a difference of 29.1 million. This decrease in operational cash flow was largely attributed to a significant increase in inventories to 164.41 million from 43.63 million. In addition, Tiffany posted operational losses of 12.03 million and increased prepaid expenses of 16.34 million in 2006. However, the company effectively managed its accounts payables for the year at 17.79 million, a significant change from the prior year. In addition, Tiffany increased ‘other non-cash’ items within its operations to 67.01 million.
An increase in output (Y) leads to an increase in consumption (we model this simply as C = c0 + c1Y). An increase in output and a decrease in interest rates both act to increase investment (the simple model representation of this idea is I = b0 + b1Y - b2i). So a monetary expansion, which increases output and decreases interest rates, will increase both consumption and investment. b. How does a monetary expansion (in an economy will flexible exchange rates) affect net exports?
Price is the most important variable to consider in this demand function. If the price is too high, the demand will be lower than expected and the new venture will fail. If the price is too low, the franchise will not make enough money to sustain growth, and will also fail. The relationship between price of complementary goods and quantity demanded is expected to be inversely related. Population size is being considered for this analysis because
