DuPont system of analysis Use the following ratio information for Johnson International and the industry averages for Johnson's

Verizon [17]

Answer:

a) DuPont analysis for Johnson International

2013: 0.059 x 2.11 x 1.75 = 0.2179 = 21.79%

2014: 0.058 x 2.18 x 1.75 = 0.2213 = 22.13%

2015: 0.049 x 2.34 x 1.85 = 0.2121 = 21.21%

b) DuPont analysis for industry averages

2013: 0.054 x 2.05 x 1.67 = 0.2121 = 21.21%

2014: 0.047 x 2.13 x 1.69 = 0.1692 = 16.92%

2015: 0.041 x 2.15 x 1.64 = 0.1446 = 14.46%

c) Johnson International's drivers follow the same tendency as the industry's average, e.g. net profit margin decreased in a similar manner, and total asset turnover increased also in a similar manner to the industry's average. The only driver that doesn't follow the industry's trend is financial leverage. While other companies in the same industry decreased their financial leverage, Johnson increased it. You should further analyze why this happened and what are the potential consequences.

Explanation:

The DuPont analysis is used to break down ROE into 3 different components and that way you can analyze whether a company's high ROE comes along with a high risk. The following formula is used to calculate ROE based on 3 different factors:

R OE = net pro fit margin x total assets turnover x financial leverage

A company has a process that results in 12,000 pounds of Product A that can be sold for $8 per pound. An alternative would be to

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is management should sell Product A now.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Total production = 12,000 pounds

Sell price = $8 per pound

If process further, Cost = $80,000

Selling price = $14 per pound

So, If we sell the product without further process, than

Total sale value = 12,000 × $8 = $96,000

And, if we sell the product after further processing, then

Total sale value = (12,000 × $14) - $80,000

= $88,000.

As, sales value is more in selling the product without further process, so management should sell the product without further processing it.
