return on investment is equal to net income divided by average investment ($1,100,000-$700,000) ÷ [($1,200,000 + $2,000,000) ÷ 2] = $400,000 ÷ $1,600,000 = 25%.

ABC (activity-based costing) is a system of costing that assigns cost to activities performed in the organization and then to products according to their use of the various activities.

Measures related to the solvency of a firm are primarily concerned with the ability of a firm to pay its debts as they become due.

Times-Interest-Earned Ratio = (Net Income + Interest Expense + Income Tax Expense) / Interest Expense
Times-Interest-Earned Ratio = (Net Income + Interest Expense + Income Tax Expense) / Interest Expense
The net working capital formula is calculated by subtracting the current liabilities from the current assets.

Accounts receivable turnover is calculated by dividing net credit sales by the average accounts receivable for that period.
Accounts receivable turnover is calculated by dividing net credit sales by the average accounts receivable for that period.
Turnco’s average collection period is 72 days. This answer is calculated as the number of days in a year divided by the receivables turnover, or 360/5 = 72 days
Turnco’s average collection period is 72 days. This answer is calculated as the number of days in a year divided by the receivables turnover, or 360/5 = 72 days
The average days’ sales in inventory is calculated as: 360 days/Inventory Turnover.
Inventory Turnover = COGS/Average Inventory
Inventory turnover measures the number of times that inventory is acquired and sold or used during a period.

Inventory turnover measures the number of times that inventory is acquired and sold or used during a period.
The operating cycle measures the average length of time to invest cash in inventory, convert the inventory to accounts receivable, and collect the receivables.
The cash conversion cycle includes AR, Inventory and then subtract AP.

In pledging of accounts receivable, the receivables are used as collateral in a financing agreement with a lender. In factoring of accounts receivable, the receivables are sold at a discount for cash to a factor.

In general, items of short-term financing do not require collateral from or impose restrictive terms on the borrower. Accounts payable and accrued payables, for example, do not require either collateral or have restrictive terms. Similarly, most short-term notes do not require collateral or have restrictive terms.

A swap agreement would be recommended to hedge interest rate risk on long-term floating-rate bonds. In an interest rate swap agreement one stream of future interest payments (e.g., floating-rate payments) is exchanged for another stream of future interest payments (e.g., fixed-rate payments) for a specified principal amount. In this case, an interest rate swap would hedge (mitigate) exposure to fluctuations in interest rates of the floating-rate bonds by exchanging those payments for a fixed-rate payment.

Regression analysis determines the functional relationship between variables and provides a measure of probable error. Multiple regression analysis involves the use of two or more independent variables (such as the number of shipments and the weight of materials handled) to predict one dependent variable (inventory warehouse costs).

Sales Volume Variance - The difference between the budgeted quantity of units sold and the actual quantity of units sold. This figure is multiplied by the profit per unit (margin). For example, (9,500 actual quantity of units sold - 10,000 budgeted quantity of units sold) * $6.10 budgeted contribution margin per unit = ($3,050)

For example, (9,500 actual quantity of units sold - 10,000 budgeted quantity of units sold) * $6.10 budgeted contribution margin per unit = ($3,050)
Direct labor rate variance - ($10.50 per hour actual direct labor rate - $10.00 per hour standard direct labor rate) * 8,000 actual direct labor hours = $4,000 - Unfavorable Result
Direct labor rate variance - ($10.50 per hour actual direct labor rate - $10.00 per hour standard direct labor rate) * 8,000 actual direct labor hours = $4,000 - Unfavorable Result
Direct labor efficiency variance - (8,000 actual direct labor hours - 10,000 standard direct labor hours) * $10.00 per hour standard direct labor rate = ($20,000). Favorable result - The direct labor efficiency variance is favorable because the actual direct labor hours are less than the standard direct labor hours.
Direct labor efficiency variance - (8,000 actual direct labor hours - 10,000 standard direct labor hours) * $10.00 per hour standard direct labor rate = ($20,000). Favorable result - The direct labor efficiency variance is favorable because the actual direct labor hours are less than the standard direct labor hours.
Materials price variance - ($5.25 per unit actual materials price - $4.00 per unit standard materials price) * 4,000 actual units used = $5,000. Unfavorable Result - The materials price variance is unfavorable because the actual materials price is higher than standard materials price.

Materials usage variance - (4,000 actual units of materials used - 4,750 standard units of materials used ) * $4.00 per unit standard materials price = ($3,000); $3,000 instructed to enter variances as positive whole numbers. Favorable result - The materials usage variance is favorable because the actual units of materials used was less than the standard units of materials used.

Variable overhead spending variance - $23,440 actual variable overhead expenditure - (8,000 actual direct labor hours * $2.00 standard variable overhead rate per direct labor hour) = $7,440. Unfavorable result - The variable overhead spending variance is unfavorable because the actual variable overhead costs are higher than the standard variable overhead costs.
