Last year Blease Inc had a total assets turnover of 1.33 and an equity multiplier of 1.75. Its sales were $205,000 and its net i

ncome was $10,600. The firm finances using only debt and common equity and its total assets equal total invested capital. The CFO believes that the company could have operated more efficiently, lowered its costs, and increased its net income by $10,250 without changing its sales, assets, or capital structure. Had it cut costs and increased its net income by this amount, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answer:

Had it cut costs and increased its net income by this amount, The ROE would have changed 11.64%.

Explanation:

Old Net profit margin = Net income/ Revenue

                                    = $10,600/$205,000

                                    = 5.170731707%

Old ROE = Net profit margin*Asset turnover*Equity multiplier

              = 0.0517*1.33*1.75

              = 12.03487805%

New net income = $10,600 + $10,250

                            = $20,850

New net profit margin = $20,850/$205,000

                                     = 10.17073171%

New ROE = 0.1017*1.33*1.75  

                = 23.67237805%

Change in ROE = New ROE – Old ROE

                          = 23.67237805%  - 12.03487805%

                           = 11.6375%

Therefore, Had it cut costs and increased its net income by this amount, The ROE would have changed 11.64%.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

True or False

True - explanation below

Explanation:

The congress has been able to prevent the widespread stoppages because they have the power to enforce the emergency board recommendations. These recommendations were viewed by the parties to be very valuable and could definitely serve as the grounds for the resolutions of disputes that may arise.  

A one-day rail strike that happened in 1991 was resolved by the congress by enacting PUB L.102 -29 which was said to have the effects of imposing many of the recommendations of Presidential Emergency Board ( PEB) 219

What are the pros and con's for the arrive alive campaign?
Elena-2011 [213]
The Arrive Alive campaign was launched to prevent road accidents or at least lessen the instances of accidents due to drunk driving and reckless driving.

The advantages of this campaign are:

1. It promotes awareness among drivers to drive safely. 
2. It educates drivers on the rules and safe acts when on the road. 

The disadvantages of this campaign are:

1. It does not completely eliminate the risk of accidents due to drunk and reckless driving. It merely 'educates' the drivers about safe acts. 
2. It still allows the drivers to drink and drive but at 'allowable alcohol level' which does not help at all.

In the end, the Arrive Alive campaign failed.
