The country of Lessidinia has a tax system identical to that of the United States. Suppose someone in Lessidinia bought a parcel

of land for 20,000 foci (the local currency) in 1960 when the price index equaled 100. In 2002, the person sold the land for 100,000 foci, and the price index equaled 600. The tax rate on nominal gains was 20 percent. Compute the taxes on the nominal gain and the change in the real value of the land in terms of 2002 prices to find the after-tax real rate of capital gain.

Answer: -30%

Explanation:

The Nominal gain is:

= 100,000 - 20,000

= 80,000 foci

Tax on nominal gain:

= 20% * 80,000

= 16,000 foci

After tax nominal value of land:

= 100,000  - 16,000

= 84,000 foci

The real value given the price index is:

= 84,000 / 600 * 100

= 14,000 foci

After tax real rate of cap. gain:

= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000

= -30%

All of these are pitfalls an organization should avoid in strategic planning except:_____________.1. using plans as a standard f
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

1. using plans as a standard for measuring performance.

Explanation:

Strategic planning is an important process that enables a business or an organization to have a sense of direction, goal orientation, and also enables them to evaluate and measure progress.

It is important when carrying out the strategic planning process to first focus on clarifying and developing the vision, mission and objectives of the business before moving on to strategy formulation, this helps to give a sense of direction.

In the process of strategic planning, involving key employees cannot be overemphasized. Giving key employees the chance to be involved in the planning process will enable them to connect to the business and set them up for success.

Apart from the fact that strategic planning provides a sense of direction, it also enables a business to outline goals that can be measured, hence providing a standard for measuring performance.

Rosita's Restaurante has sales of $4,500, total debt of $1,300, total equity of $2,400, and a profit margin of 5 percent. What i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

6.08%

Explanation:

Rosita's restaurant has a sales of $4,500

The total debt is $1,300

The total equity is $2,400

The profit margin is 5%

=5/100

= 0.05

Therefore the return on assets can be calculated as follows

= profit margin×sales/total debt +total equity

= 0.05×$4,500/($1,300+$4,200)

= 225/3,700

= 0.0608×100

= 6.08%

Hence the return on assets is 6.08%

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
