    Correct Answer
    A. Revenue and all standard cost
    Explanation
    Gross Margin is the difference between revenue and all standard costs. This means that it represents the amount of money left over after deducting the direct costs associated with producing goods or services.

    • Weeks of supply

    A. All the above
    Explanation
    "Inventory Turns" refers to a metric that measures how many times a company is able to sell its inventory within a year. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by the average inventory value. This metric helps businesses assess their efficiency in managing inventory and can be used to optimize inventory levels. Additionally, "Inventory Turns" can also be interpreted as "Weeks of supply," which indicates the number of weeks a company's inventory can sustain its sales. Therefore, the correct answer is "All the above" as both explanations accurately describe what "Inventory Turns" mean.

    Which of the following is true?

    • Lower product cost translates to better EPS

    • Higher E&O and lower buy-down translates to better EPS

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Lower product cost translates to better EPS
    Explanation
    Lower product cost translates to better EPS because when the cost of producing a product is lower, the company can either sell it at a lower price, which can increase sales volume, or maintain the same price and increase profit margin. In both cases, the company's earnings per share (EPS) would be positively affected. Lower product cost can also lead to improved efficiency and cost management, which can further contribute to better EPS.

    • Credit Memo is issued by Cisco A/P

    Correct Answer
    A. Credit Memo is issued by Cisco A/P
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "Credit Memo is issued by Cisco A/P." A Credit Memo is a document issued by a seller to a buyer, indicating that the buyer's account has been credited with a specific amount. It is used to correct errors or provide refunds to the buyer. While Cisco A/P (Accounts Payable) is responsible for managing the company's payments to suppliers, they do not issue Credit Memos. Therefore, this statement is not true.
