When preparing a representative sample from a list of 200 customers who complained about errors in their statements, this type of sample might select every tenth customer for review.
Answer:
The Square Box should accept Project B only
Explanation:
Square Box should decide the project whose Net present value (NPV) of future cash inflow is higher than the initial cost of investment
NPV of cash inflow from Project A = 3,000/(1+12%)+7,000/(1+12%)^2+10,000/(1+12%)^3 = $15,377, lower then initial cost of $18,000 → deny Project A
NPV of cash inflow from Project B = 3,000/(1+12%)+7,000/(1+12%)^2+15,000/(1+12%)^3 = $18,936, higher then initial cost of $18,000 → accept Project B
Answer:
Steve Jobs coming back, Innovations, and Tim Cook taking over as COO
Explanation:
The fluctuations in stock prices of a company are due to improved performance of the company in meeting it's objectives and perception that the business will do better in the future.
In the given scenario there was an initial increase in Apple’s stock price from $27.97 to $702.10, an increase of 25 times.
This can be attributed to the return of Steve Jobs as the CEO of Apple. There was a confidence boost by his coming back. Also there were various innovations like: iPhone, iMac, iPod, and iTunes. These improved the performance and by extension share price of Apple.
However when Tim Cook took over as COO he reduced production by half resulting in stock price decrease by 37% from its peak in September 2012 until the end of March 2013, from $702.10 to $442.66.
Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Inventory A/c Dr $73,500
To Accumulated depletion A/c $73,500
(Being the depletion is recorded)
The computation is shown below
First we have to compute the depletion per ton which is shown below:
= (Acquired cost of coal mine + Intangible development costs + fair value of the obligation - Sale value) ÷ (Number of estimated tons of coal extracted)
= ($400,000 + $100,000 + $80,000 - $160,000) ÷ (4,000 tons)
= $105
Now if 700 are extracted in first year, so the depletion would be
= 700 × $105
= $73,500

Horizontal analysis

Net sales 600000 500000 100000 20.00%
Cost of goods sold414000 350000 64000 18.29%
Gross Profit 186000 150000 36000 24.00%
Operating Expensese 150000 120000 30000 25.00%
Net Income 36000 30000 6000 20.00%
Looking at the table above you’ll notice that the company is showing a healthy growth in all the figures bott at the top line as well as bottom line. The percentage in gross profit has increased and even higher than the % net sales increase over last year. This clearly reveals that the company has enhanced its economy of scale. But this enhancement has been invalidated by the corresponding increase in the operating expenses %.
Vertical analysis (having net sales as base)
Net sales 100% 100%
Cost of goods sold 69.00% 70.00%
Gross Profit 31.00% 30.00%
Operating Expenses 25.00% 24.00%
Net Income 6.00% 6.00%
There is not much variation in vertical analysis. The companies performance here is stable as last year.
