Answer:

b. 30%

Explanation:

The computation of the percentage increased in sales from the previous year to the current year is shown below:

= (Current year Sale - Preceding year Sale) ÷ (Preceding year Sale )

= ($325,000 - $250,000) ÷ ($250,000)

= ($75,000) ÷ ($250,000)

= 30%

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

1.69

Explanation:

asset turnover ratio = net sales / average assets

I looked up the missing information and found the following:

total assets year 1 = $4,000,000

total assets year 2 = $4,300,000

net sales year 2 = $7,000,000

average assets = ($4,000,000 + $4,300,000) / 2 = $4,150,000

asset turnover ratio = $7,000,000 / $4,150,000 = 1.6867 = 1.69

The higher the asset turnover ratio, the more efficient a company is. Therefore, a higher asset turnover ratio is always better although there is no fixed parameter.

You deposit $5,000 per year at the end of each of the next 25 years into an account that pays 8% compounded annually. How much

Volgvan

Answer:

The correct answer is A. $18,276

Explanation:

First you have to calculate how much you'd end up having at the end of the 25 years period in your savings account.

You calculate the total amount saved for each year, using the formula:

$S_{n} = S_{n-1} *(1+r)+D$

Where

$S_{n}$ is the total amount in the savings account for this period.

$S_{n-1}$ is the total amount in the savings account from the previous period.

$r$ is the interest rate.

$D$ are the annual deposits being made into the savings account.

Therefore for the first year you'd do:

$S_{1} = S_{0} *(1+r)+D$

$S_{1} = 0*(1+0.08)+5000=5000$

For the second year:

$S_{2} = S_{1} *(1+r)+D$

$S_{2} = 5000*(1+0.08)+5000=10400$

And so on. You can help yourself calculate the value of this series using programs like Excel.

I have attached an Excel file that has a table with the savings values for each of the 25 years.

So, the 25th year you’ll have $365,529.70 in your savings account. Now you simply divide this number by 20 (that will be the number of years you’ll be withdrawing the same dollar amount from your savings account):

$Withdrawals = 365,529.70/20=18,276.485$

In conclusion, you’d be able to withdraw $18,276.485 each year for the following 20 years after the 25th deposit, if all withdrawals are the same dollar amount.
