Answers
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
1. Profit margin = Net profit / Net sales
2016 - Profit margin
= (70,000 / 570,000) * 100
= 12.28%
2017 - Profit margin
= (95,000 / 700,000) * 100
= 13.57
2. Gross profit rate = Gross profit / Net sales
2016 - Gross profit rate
= (220,000 / 570,000) * 100
= 38.60%
2017 - Gross profit rate
= (275,000 / 700,000) * 100
= 39.29%
3. Asset turnover = Net sales / Average total assets
2016 - Asset turnover
= (570,000 / [(600,000 + 533,000) / 2 ]
= 570,000 / 566,500
= 1.01 times
2017 - Asset turnover
= (700,000 / [(725,000 + 600,000) / 2 ]
= 700,000 / 662,500
= 1.06 times
4. Earnings per share = Net income / Outstanding shares
2016 - Earnings per share
= 70,000 / (310,000/10)
= 70,000 / 31,000
= $2.26 per share
2017 - Earnings per share
= 95,000/ (320,000/10)
= 95,000 / 32,000
= $2.97 per share.
5. Price earnings ratio = Market value per share / EPS
2016 - price earnings ratio
= 7.50 /2.26
= 3.32 times
2017 - price earnings ratio
= 8.50/2.97
= 2.86 times
6. Payout ratio = Dividend per share / Net income or earnings per share × 100
2016 - payout ratio
=
7. Debts to assets ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
2016 - Debts to assets ratio
=

Consider two products, X and Y, that have identical cost, retail price, and demand parameters and the same short selling season (the summer months from May through August). The newsvendor model is used to manage inventory for both products. Product X is to be discontinued at the end of the season this year and the leftover inventory will be salvaged at 75 percent of the cost. Product Y will be reoffered next summer, so any leftovers this year can be carried over to the next year while incurring a holding cost on each unit left over equal to 20 percent of the product's cost. The quantity of each product is selected to maximize expected profit. How do those quantities compare?

Suppose that Spain and Germany both produce jeans and shoes. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 3 pairs of jeans while Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 11 pairs of jeans.By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell that ------- has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes and ------ has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.Suppose that Spain and Germany consider trading shoes and jeans with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than ------ of jeans for each pair of shoes it exports to Germany. Similarly, Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than--------- of shoes for each pair of jeans it exports to Spain.Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of jeans) would allow both Germany and Spain to gain from trade?4 pairs of jeans per pair of shoes, 1 pair of jeans per pair of shoes, 6 pairs of jeans per pair of shoes, 2 pairs of jeans per pair of shoes

Jobs argument justifications is the pundit using to argue for the trade restriction on steel rods
Explanation:
A main argument often put forward to curb trade would be that trade decreases the amount of jobs domestically available.
The point about maintaining jobs is often put forward by employers to protect union jobs. Nevertheless, unions are undermining the market by prohibiting businesses from receiving their products at lower prices, causing them to increase prices. Moreover, businesses are often discouraged from using automation or robotics to retain jobs, which is ironic because automation and robotics improve the productivity of workers, thereby encouraging companies to pay employee salaries and benefits.

Answer:
correct option is d.$7,511.61 unfavorable
Explanation:
given data
standard material cost = $1.97 per yard
Actual material cost = $2.05 per yard
Standard yards = 4.67 per unit
Actual yards = 5.08 per unit
Units of production = 9300
solution
we get here Direct material quantity variance that is express as
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard quantity - actual quantity) × Standard rate .....................1
put here value and we will get
Direct material quantity variance = (9300 × 4.67 - 9300 × 5.08) × 1.97
Direct material quantity variance = −7511.61
so correct option is d.$7,511.61 unfavorable

b. False
Answers
Answer: a. True
Explanation:
Marginal Cost as well known is the cost of producing an extra unit of a good. Average Cost on the other hand is the cost of producing all the goods divided by the number of units that are produced.
It therefore stands to reason that if goods are getting more expensive to produce, the Average Cost will rise.
For example, take 2 scenarios.
Scenario 1.
Cost of producing units 1 to 5 is $2 each.
Average Cost = (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2) / 5
= 10/5
Average Cost = $2
Scenario 2
Cost of Producing Units 1 to 5 are;
Unit 1 - $2
Unit 2 - $2
Unit 3 - $2
Unit 4 - $2
Unit 5 - $4
Average cost at unit 5 = (2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4)/5
= 12/5
= $2.40
Average Cost has increased by $0.40
