Chap 1 Knowledge Check Answer Key

Knowledge Check 1.1

  1. a. $9,000        b.         $66,000
  2. Sounders: [latex]\frac{$936,400}{$184,000}[/latex], Elecktronicks: [latex]\frac{$1,245,900}{$209,400}[/latex] (Elecktronicks is better)

Knowledge Check 1.2

1. a. Net Profit = 14% of [latex]$29,000 = 0.14\times $29,000 = $ 4,060[/latex].

b. [latex]Sales \times 0.14 =$5,000[/latex], so [latex]Sales = \frac{$5,000}{0.14} =$35,714.29[/latex]

2 a. $9.80  b. $22.40  c. $39.20

Knowledge Check 1.3

1.a. COGS = 0.65 × $ 90,000 =   $58,500

Sales $90,000
COGS 58,500
Gross Profit 31,500
Operating Expenses 14,000
Net Profit 17,500

2. [latex]\text{Percent gross margin} =\frac{$31,500}{$90,000} = 0.35 = 35%[/latex]

 

Knowledge Check 1.4

COST % MARKUP MARKUP PRICE
a. $10.00 35% $3.50 $13.50
b. $20.00 45% $9.00 $29.00
C. $16.00 25% $4.00 $20.00

 

Knowledge Check 1.5

1. a.

[latex]\begin{align*} &200 € &=& 200 € \times \frac{$1.532}{1 € }&=&$306.40\\ &200 \text{ HKD} &=& 200 \text{ HKD} \times \frac{$0.1678}{1\text{ HKD} }&=&$33.56\\ &200¥ &=& 200 \: \yen \times \frac{$0.011648}{1¥}&=&$2.33 \end{align*}[/latex]

b.

[latex]\begin{align*} $500 &=& $500 \times \frac{1€}{$1.532}&=&326.37€\\ $500 &=& $500 \times \frac{1\;HKD}{$0.1678}&=&2,979.74\;HKD\\ $500 &=& $500 \times \frac{1\yen}{$0.011648}&=&42,925.82\yen \end{align*}[/latex]

Knowledge Check 1.6

  1. [latex]700(1-0.3)(1-0.25) =$ 367.50[/latex]
  2. Discount = [latex]349-$ 244.30 =$ 104.70[/latex]

[latex]\text{Discount Rate} =\frac{$104.70}{$349}=0.30=30%[/latex]

 

Knowledge Check 1.7

Before Discount: [latex]6\times $ 749 (1-0.3)(1-0.05) = $ 2,988.51[/latex]

After Discount: [latex]2,988.51(1-0.03)=$2,898.85[/latex]

 

Knowledge Check 1.8

  1. The last day you can pay off both debts is the day the fridge invoice is due:  May 4.  On this day, the fridge will not get a discount, but the range will be eligible for a 5% discount
  2. The first payment of $760 is worth a credit of:

[latex]Credit = \frac{$760}{(1-0.05)}=$800[/latex]

so the we owe [latex]$2,500-$800=$1,700[/latex] on the fridge, and [latex]$3,250(1-0.05)=$ 3,087.50[/latex] on the range, so our final payment will be:

[latex]Payment =$1,700+$3,087.50 = $4,787.50[/latex]
