Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $395,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of

maxonik [38]

Answer: 5.9%

Explanation:

Before:

Equity is calculated as:

= Total Assets / Equity Multiplier

= $ 175,000 / 1.2

= $ 145,833

Therefore, ROE will be:

= (Turnover × Profit Margin) / Equity

= ($ 395,000 × 5.3%) / $ 145,833

= $ 20935 / $145,833

= 0.1436

= 14.36%

After:

New Total Assets will be:

= $ 175,000 - $ 51,000

= $ 124,000

Equity

= Total Assets / Equity Multiplier

= $ 124,000 / 1.2

= $ 103,333

ROE will then be:

= (Turnover × Profit Margin) / Equity

= ($ 395,000 × 5.3%) / $ 103,333

= $ 20935 / $ 103,333

= 0.2026

= 20.26%

Therefore, the change in ROE will be:

= 20.26% - 14.36%

= 5.9%

= 4.035%

larisa86 [58]

Complete Question:

Assessments of how a diversified company's subsidiaries compare in competitive strength should be based on such factors as;

A. vulnerability to seasonal and cyclical downturns, vulnerability to driving forces, and vulnerability to fluctuating interest rates and exchange rates.

B. relative market share, the ability to match or beat rivals on key product attributes, brand image and reputation, costs relative to competitors, and the ability to benefit from strategic fits with sister businesses.

C. the appeal of its strategy, the relative number of competitive capabilities, the number of products in each business's product line, which businesses have the highest/lowest market shares, and which businesses earn the highest/lowest profits before taxes.

D. the ability to hurdle barriers to entry, value chain attractiveness, and business risk.

E. cost reduction potential, customer satisfaction potential, and comparisons of annual cash flows from operations.

Answer:

B. relative market share, the ability to match or beat rivals on key product attributes, brand image and reputation, costs relative to competitors, and the ability to benefit from strategic fits with sister businesses.

Explanation:

Assessments of how a diversified company's subsidiaries compare in competitive strength should be based on such factors as;

1. Relative market share: this measures the subsidiaries position in a market in relation to its competitors in the same industry. It is a measure of the percentage of the market they control.

2. The ability to match or beat rivals on key product attributes: this is really important in the assessment of competitive strengths because it represents the level of acceptance of their products by consumers in comparison with rivals.

3. Brand image and reputation: if the subsidiary is well accepted by the consumers, it simply suggests that they have a good brand image and reputation in the market. A good brand image and reputation is competitive strength.

4. Costs relative to competitors: the higher the price a company is selling its products relative to rival companies, the lesser its sales would be because consumers would naturally go for cheaper products or lower prices.

5. The ability to benefit from strategic fits with sister businesses: companies should be able to achieve their set goals and objectives from opportunities presented by their sister company.

<em>Hence, the competitive strength of a diversified company and its subsidiaries should be assessed based on the aforementioned factors</em>.

"Stock R has a beta of 1.5, Stock S has a beta of 0.75, the required return on an average stock is 10%, and the risk-free rate o

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

4.5%

Explanation:

Stock R (Beta) = 1.5

Stock S (Beta) = 0.75

Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%

Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%

Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B

Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B

Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B

Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)

Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09

Stock R = 0.13

Stock R = 13%

Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)

Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045

Stock S = 0.085

Stock S = 8.5%

Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.

= 13% - 8.5%

= 4.5%

On 31 December 2020: Debit Compensation expense for $39,667; and Credit Paid-in capital from share options for $39,667.

On 31 December 2021: Debit Compensation expense for $41,067; and Credit Paid-in capital from share options for $41,067.

On 06 January 2022: Debit Cash for $48,000; Debit Paid-in capital from share options for $22,400; Credit Common stock for $3,200; and Credit Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure) for $67,200.

Explanation:

Note: See part b of the the attached excel file for the journal entries

Also note that before the journal entries are recorded, the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021 are first calculated. See part a of the attached excel file for the calculation of the the current compensation expense for year 2019, 2020 and 2021.

In part a of the attached excel file, the estimated compensation cost for 2019, 2020 and 2021 are calculated as follows:

Estimated compensation cost for 2019 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2020 = Option value on the grant date * Number of executives * (1 - Expected option forfeited rate) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * 50 * (1 - 15%) * 200 = $119,000

Estimated compensation cost for 2021 = Option value on the grant date * (Number of executives - Actual executives turnover for the entire service period) * Number of shares in the option = $14 * (50 - 7) * 200 = $120,400

On 06 January 2022, the calculation of the entries used in the part b of the attached excel file are as follows:

w.1. Cash = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Purchase price per share after completing a 3-year service period = (8 * 200 * $30) = $48,000

w.2. Paid-in capital from share options = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Option value on the grant date = (8 * 200 * 14) = $22,400

w.3. Common Stock = Number of executives who exercise their options * Number of shares in the option * Sahre par value = (8 * 200 * $2) = $3,200

w.4. Paid in capital in excess of par- common stock (balancing figure) = Cash + Paid-in capital from share options - Common Stock = $48,000 + $22,400 - $3,200 = $67,200
