Answer:

(c) 280%

Explanation:

Given that

Number of shares purchased = 100 shares

Purchase cost of a share = 49 ÷ 8

Sale price of a share = $24

And, brokerage paid = 2%

Now the purchase cost is

= 100 shares × 49 ÷ 8 + 2% × 100 shares × 49 ÷ 8

= $612.5 + 0.02 ×$612.50

= $624.75

And, the income amount arise from the sales is

= $24 × 100 - 2% of $2,400

= $2,400 - $48

= $2,352

Now the percentage gain on the investment is

= (Income - purchase amount invested)  ÷ (Purchase amount invested) × 100

= ($2,352 - $624.75) ÷ ($624.75) × 100

= ($1,727.25) ÷ ($624.75) × 100

= 276.43% or 280%

The computation of labor efficiency variance for June is shown below:-

For computing the labor efficiency variance for June first we need to find out the standard hours

Standard hours = 0.5 hours per unit × 3,100 units

= 1,550 hours

Now, we will put it into formula

Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) × Standard rate

= (1,550 - 510) × $10

= $10,400 Favorable

Therefore for computing the labor efficiency variance for June we simply applied the above formula.

yarga [219]

Answer:

a. Apple current ratio =  Current asset / Current liabilities

                                    =   $128.78billion/ $101.27billion

                                     = 1.27

b Apple Quick ratio    =  (Current asset - Inventory ) / Current liabilities

                                     = ( $74.48billion + $17.58billion)/ $101.27billion

                                     =  $92.06billion/$101.27billion

                                     =  0.91

c. Apple Cash ratio   = cash and short-term investment / current liabilities

                                   =  $74.48billion / $101.27billion

                                  =   0.77

d. By comparing the computed ratios of Apple and HPQ, it shows that Apple asset liquidity is better than that of HPQ.  The current ratio of Apple is 1.27 as against 0.96 for HPQ. also in term of Quick ratio, Apple has 0.91 while HPQ has 0.54.  The cash ratio of HPQ is 0.33 while Apple figure stood at 0.77

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Agglomeration advantages stem from knowledge spillover from one firm to another.

Explanation:

In Business, Agglomeration refers to the cluster of companies in one common physical area. Agglomeration is divided into two categories: <em>urbanization economies </em>and<em> localization economies</em>. Urbanization economies refer to businesses sharing the same physical area even if they are dedicated to providing different goods or services.

Localization economies, instead, refers to firms of the same industry being located in a common location. In such a scenario, companies can take advantage of the same pool of labor and the quick spread of ideas among entities or the knowledge spillover.
