The total turnover increases
Explanation:
Asset Turnover Ratio is a measure of how efficient the assets of a company is when compared with the company's sales or revenue. To calculate Asset turnover ration, the<u> net sales is set as a percentage of the company's total assets. </u>
The higher the turnover of the asset based on the calculation then the higher the chances that organisation is generating revenue efficiently from its assets. A lower turnover however is the implication that the company is not efficiently using its assets and it could imply some internal issues.
Therefore, the higher the sales without any change in assets means the Asset Turnover will increase or be higher and it will indicate higher efficiency
Answer:
d. 16% - buy
Explanation:
R = (D1 / P0) + g
Where, R=Expected Return, P0 = Current Market Price = $40, D1=Expected Dividend=$, g = Expected Growth Rate = 11% = 0.11
Expected Return = R = ($2/$40) + 11%
R = 0.05 + 0.11
R = 0.16
R = 16%
Expected Return is higher than the required return of 12%. Hence, it should be bought (it is expected to give higher return than required)
Answer:
EPS = $4.50
diluted EPS = $2.46
Explanation:
no option is correct since EPS = $4.50, and the rest of the options are all higher amounts. Diluted EPS are always smaller than EPS.
common stock outstanding = 1,000 stocks
bonds shares (diluted) = 1,000 stocks
net income = $4,500
bond interest = $10,000 x 6% x (1 - 30%) = $420
diluted earnings per share = ($4,500 + $420) / (1,000 shares + 1,000 shares) = $4,920 / 2,000 shares = $2.46
