Answer:

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

Explanation:

The best statement which explains the above scenario is 'post hoc, ergo propter hoc'.  This statement is known as an informal fallacy, according to this statement because burglaries were followed by an increase in ice-cream sales then it means that an increase in ice-cream sales is the cause of burglaries. In other words, if 'y' is followed by 'x' then 'x' must have caused 'y'.

Setler [38]

Answer:

If the firm uses less leverage, its ROE will decrease since the cost of equity is much higher than the cost of debt. If all debt is eliminated, then ROE will decrease to 7.764% from 10.83%.

Explanation:

net income = $9.75 million

capital structure:

  • $90 million equity
  • $60 million debt

interest rate = 4% and tax rate = 21%

current return on equity (ROE) = $9.75 / $90 = 10.83%

current return of assets (ROA) = $9.75 / $150 = 6.5%

cost of debt = 4% x (1 - 21%) = 3.16%

if the company issues more equity to lower debt to 0, then:

net income = $9.75 + [$60 million x 4% x (1 - 21%)] = $9.75 + $1.896 = $11.646 million

return on equity (ROE) = $11.646 / $150 = 7.764%

return of assets (ROA) = $11.646 / $150 = 7.764%

emmainna [20.7K]
<span>Personal selling requires the two-way flow of communication between a buyer and a seller, often in a face-to-face encounter, designed to influence a person's or a group's purchase decision. When meeting with people in person, it allows for conversation to flow back and forth smoothy and communication is much better. Having face-to-face meetings allows the buyer and seller to connect on a different level then if it were email, phone or another type of communication.</span>
