Differentiate Between Static RAM and Dynamic RAM in Tabular form. ANY TWO differences
SRAM (static RAM)

This type of memory maintains data in storage as long as it is powered. Because it is faster and more reliable and expensive than DRAM, SRAM is most often used as cache memory. Earlier forms of SRAM were classified as Async or Sync RAM if they were synchronized with the system clock. The most common type of SRAM today is pipeline burst SRAM, which can operate at higher bus speeds.

DRAM (dynamic RAM)

This type of RAM retains its data by being continuously rewritten every few milliseconds. Like SRAM, the data in storage is volatile, meaning it is lost when the system is not powered. DRAM is the most common type of expandable company memory in workstations and servers today, but there are several different types of DRAM.

ACC501 Assignment # 01 Solution

Sales Rs. 80,000,000

Gross Profit Margin 80%

Operating Profit Margin 35%

Net Profit Margin 8%

Return on Total Assets 16%

Return on common equity 20%

Total assets Turnover 2

Average collection Period 70 Years

Gross Profit Margin Ratio = (Revenue -Cost of Goods Sold)/Revenue

0.8 = (80,000,000 - CGS)/80,000,000

0.8*80,000,000 = 80,000,000 - CGS

64,000,000 = 80,000,000 - CGS

Cost of Goods Sold = 80,000,000 - 64,000,000

Cost of Goods Sold = 16,000,000

Gross Profit = Sale - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit = 80,000,000 - 16,000,000

Gross Profit = 64,000,000

Operating Profit Margin = Operating Income/ Revenue

0.35 * 80,000,000 = Operating Income

Operating Income = 28,000,000

Operating Expense = Gross Profit - Operating Income

Operating Expense = 64,000,000 - 28,000,000

Operating Expenses = 36,000,000

Net Profit Margin = Net Profit ( After Tax)/Revenue * 100

8/100*80,000,000 = Net Profit(After Tax)

Net Profit(After Tax) = 6,400,000

Earnings Available for common stockholders = Net Profit(After Tax = 6,400,000

Return on Assets - Net Income/ Total Assets

0.16 = 28,000,000/Total Assets

Operating Income is also called Net Income

Total Assets = 28,000,000/0.16

Total Assets = 175,000,000

Return on Common Equity = Net Income(After Tax)/Share Holder`s Equity

0.20 = 6,400,000/ Share Holder`s Equity

Share Holder`s Equity = 6,400,000/0.2

Share Holder`s Equity = 32,000,000

Total Asset turnover = Sales/Average Total Assets

2 = 80,000,000/Average Total Assets

Average Total Assets = 80,000,000/2

Average Total Assets = 40,000,000

Average Collection Period = (Days * Account Receivable)/Credit Sale

We assume Total Sale As Credit Sale

7 Days = (360 * Account Receivable)/80,000,000

80,000,000 * 7 = 360 * Account Receivable

80,000,000*7/360 = Account Receivable

Account Receivable = 1,555,555
