Contribution margin ratio= 0.42
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Bryce Co. sales are $801,000
Variable costs are $465,100
Operating income is $287,000.
<u>To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:</u>
contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable cost) / sales
contribution margin ratio= (801,000 - 465,100) / 801,000
contribution margin ratio= 0.42
Answer:
Option B,
The higher the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm, THE HIGHER THE PROBABILITY THAT THE FIRM WILL ENCOUNTER FINANCIAL DISTRESS.
Explanation:
The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is a leverage ratio that measures the sensitivity of a company's earnings per share to fluctuations in it's operating income, as a result of changes in its capital structure.
This ratio indicates that the higher the degree of financial leverage, the more volatile earnings will be.
The use of financial leverage varies greatly by industry and by the business sector. There are many industry sectors in which companies operate with a high degree of financial leverage (examples are retail stores, grocery store, banking institutions, airlines...). Unfortunately, the excessive use of financial leverage by many companies in this sector has played a major role in forcing a lot of them to file for bankruptcy.
Therefore, if the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm is high, then the probability that the firm will encounter financial distress will also be high.

9.63 According to USA TODAY research, the average personal debt (such as loans on cars, credit cards, and so forth) per household in the United States was $17,989 in 2004 (USA TODAY October 4, 2004). A recent random sample of 75 households from New Hampshire yielded a mean personal debt of $16,450 with a standard deviation of $4650. Using the 2% significance level, can you conclude that the current nean personal debt for all households in New Hampshire is different from $17,989? Use both the p-value approach and the critical-value approach.
