    @Priscilla, ROA = Net Income / Average Total Assets and ROI = (Earnings – Initial Investment) / Initial Investment, they are different formulas.

    this is what Becker is saying:

    ROA: NI/ average Total Assets

    ROI: NI/Invested capital

    NI/Average Assets

    NI/Average PPE or WC

    Profit Margin x Investment Turnover

    Thanks!

    4!!!!!!???? you should see my ch.2 formula stack its ridic!!

    DM PRICE VAR.= Actual Q purchased x( Actual P- std P)

    VOH rate(spending var)= Actual hours x ( Actual rate- std rate)

    Estimated req. levels of production=budgeted sales + desired EI- BI

    DL efficiency var=std rate x( actual hours-std hours allowed)

    DL rate var= Actual hours worked x (Actual rate-std rate)

    DM usage budget= BI at cost + purchases at cost- EI at cost

    DM quantity usage var=std price x(Actual q used- std q allowed)

    COGS formula

    Direct cost var=std price x std q

    VOH efficiency var aka production vol. var=std rate x (actual hours-std hours allowed for actual production vol

    FOH budget spending var=actual fixed OH-budgeted fixed OH

    FOH volume var=budgeted fixed OH-std fixed OH cost allocated to production

    sales price var= (actual SP per unit-Budgeted SP per unit) x actual sold units

    sales vol. var=(actual sold units- Budgeted sales units) x std CM per unit

    CM per unit=SP-prime costs-var OH-var SG&A

    BE in units= total FC/cm per unit

    CM ratio=CM/revenue

    BE in dollars=unit price x BE in units OR total FC/CM ratio

    margin of safety=total sales in dollars – BE in dollars

    margin of safety percentage=margin of safety in dollars/ total sales

    target cost=market price – required profit

    selling price based on target GM %-costs/ratio of costs to sales

    setting selling prices based on assumed volume= (FC+var cost+pretax profit)/ # of units sold

    sales dollars needed to obtain a desired profit= var costs + FC+ pretax profit OR FC+pretax profit/ CM ratio

    predicting profits based on volume after BE has been achieved= units above BE x CM per unit

    sales units needed to obtain a desired profit=(FC+pretax profit) / CM per unit

    # of units to be purchased=units of DM needed+ desired EI- BI

    cost of DM to be purchased=units of DM to be purchased x cost per unit

    @Pandarama

    I do not understand this either. I came across this problem today and I don't see how COGS is computed as $480,000. The explanation doesn't offer the computation.

    My COGS is also $510,000.

    The only other factors that could be at play are the payables of $40,000 (possibly).

    Can somebody help explain this problem???
