Hey Pretty, good to see you again.
Here are the calculations for Applio Traders:
Part (i) Ratio
Step 1: Calculate Sales and Gross Profit.
Given Margin is 25% and Cost of Sales (COS) is 75,000.
We know that Margin = SalesGrossProfit and Gross Profit = Sales - COS.
Let Sales be S.
0.25=SS−75,000
0.25S=S−75,000
75,000=S−0.25S
75,000=0.75S
S=0.7575,000
S=100,000
So, Sales = 100,000.
Now, calculate Gross Profit:
GrossProfit=Sales−CostofSales
GrossProfit=100,000−75,000
GrossProfit=25,000
Step 2: Calculate Capital.
We are given that Sales and Capital are in the ratio 1:4.
CapitalSales=41
Capital100,000=41
Capital=100,000×4
Capital=400,000
Step 3: Calculate Operating Expenses and Net Profit.
Operating Expenses are 2% of Capital.
OperatingExpenses=0.02×Capital
OperatingExpenses=0.02×400,000
OperatingExpenses=8,000
Net Profit is Gross Profit minus Operating Expenses.
NetProfit=GrossProfit−OperatingExpenses
NetProfit=25,000−8,000
NetProfit=17,000
Step 4: Calculate the Rate of Return on Capital (Ratio).
This ratio measures the profitability relative to the capital invested.
RateofReturnonCapital=CapitalNetProfit×100%
RateofReturnonCapital=400,00017,000×100%
RateofReturnonCapital=0.0425×100%
RateofReturnonCapital=4.25%
The ratio is 4.25%.
Part (ii) Purchase
Step 5: Calculate Purchases.
We use the Cost of Sales formula:
CostofSales=OpeningStock+Purchases−ClosingStock
Substitute the known values:
75,000=10,000+Purchases−5,000
75,000=5,000+Purchases
Purchases=75,000−5,000
Purchases=70,000
The purchase amount is 70,000.
