notsponge [240]

Answer:

0.45

Explanation:

Total Asset turnover is the relationship between the total asset and the total sales.  It measure the turnover generated by assets and shows how fully a company is utilizing its assets.

It is calculated as  Net Sales / Average Total asset.

Average total asset is calculated as  Asset at Beginning  + Asset at closing / 2

Applying the formula

The total sales = $900,000  while the total asset is $2, 000,000

$900,000/$2,000,000 =  0.45

Note: The beginning and closing Asset were not given so $2,000,000 is regarded to as the average asset.

Engineers at a tire manufacturing company investigated the effect of a new rubber compound on the tire life of a certain brand o
Naya [18.7K]

64,576 miles.

Explanation:

When the companies advertise their new products they want to present the product in the best possible light as possible. This is due to edging out the competition as in many products small details make a huge difference. The same is the case with the tires and their endurance. The longer way a set of tires takes you the better, since they are expensive product so changing them less often is very beneficial.

In this case, the interval for the mean tire life varies by 2,026 from 62,550, both up and down. The minimum will be 60,524 miles, while the maximum a tire can pass is 64,576. The company will of course go for the maximum value to make the product look as attractive and as good as possible to the customers.

Answer:

that there's a need for an improved poverty measure.

Explanation:

It is interesting to note that poverty has a defined measurement which helps Governments understand how taxes and government programs affect those who are poor.

The budgeted income statement presented below is for Burkett Corporation for the coming fiscal year. Compute the number of units
nlexa [21]

Answer: 47,757 units

Explanation:

To answer this we would need to first find the Contribution Margin. Contribution Margin is the differnce between the sales price and the variable cost per unit.

When the Fixed cost is divided by the Contribution margin, we get the BREAK-EVEN POINT which is where income is zero.

We will then add our required profit to find the Number of units needed.

Calculating the Variable costs we have,

= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Factory overhead+ Variable Marketing Costs

= 235,800 + 241,600 + 151,600 + 51,600

= $680,600

Divide by the number of units to find the Variable cost per unit is,

= 680,609/41,000

= $16.6 per unit.

The Sales per unit will be,

= 984,000/41,000

= $24 per unit.

The Contribution Margin from earlier would therefore be,

= Sales - Variable Cost

= 24 - 16.6

= 7.4

Now we divide the Fixed Costs by that to find the Break-Even Point.

Fixed cost = Fixed factory overhead + Fixed marketing cost

= 111,600 + 108,000

= $219,000

Target sale in unit =Target profit + Fixed cost/Contribution per unit

= 133,800 + 219,000/7.4

= $353,400/7.4

= 47756.7567568

= 47,757

47,757 is the number of units that must be sold in order to achieve a target pretax income of $133,800.
