Answer: 16.55%
Explanation:
Profit margin is the amount of earnings that a company has left when every expenses and costs have been deducted.
From the information given, firstly, we calculate the return on equity. This will be:
= Growth rate /(1 + Growth rate) × Retention ratio
= 8% / (1 + 8%) × 46%
= 0.08/(1 + 0.08) × 0.46
= 0.08/1.08 × 0.46
= 0.08/0.4968
= 0.1610
= 16.10%
Return on equity, ROE = 16.10%
We then calculate the profit margin. This will be:
= ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier
where,
Equity Multiplier = 1 + debt-equity ratio
= 1 + 0.37 = 1.37
Profit margin = ROE / Asset turnover × Equity Multiplier
= 16.10% / {(1/1.41) × 1.37}
= 16.10% / 0.71 × 1.37
= 0.1610 / 0.9727
= 0.1655
Profit margin = 16.55%
Answer:
- Materials - 100,400
- Conversion - 95,600
Explanation:
Equivalent Units = Units Completed and Transferred out + Ending Work in Progress.
Materials Equivalent Units
Ending Work in Progress = 90% * 16,000
= 14,400 units
Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 14,400
= 100,400 units
Conversion Equivalent Units
Ending Work in Progress = 60% * 16,000
= 9,600 units
Equivalent Units = 86,000 + 9,600
= 95,600 units

Answer: c. Marginal Cost
Explanation:
A Competitive firm operates in a market where they are price takers. This means that the price they charge is equal to both their average revenue and their Marginal Revenue.
P = MR = AR
Companies maximise profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized.
If the Competitive firm's Price is the same as its Marginal Revenue this means that to maximise profits, the firm should choose an output level where the price is equal to the marginal cost.
