Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a. $1,764,000.00

b. 12.08%

c. 19.17%

Explanation:

a. What is the company's net income?

Profit margin = Net income ÷ Sales

Therefore, we have:

9% = Net income ÷ $19,600,000

Net income = $19,600,000 × 9% = $1,764,000.00

Therefore, the net income of Aquilera, Inc. is $1,764,000.00

b. What is the company's Return on Assets (ROA)?

ROA = Net income ÷ Total Assets

ROA = $1,764,000 ÷ $14,600,000 = 0.120821917808219 = 12.08%

Therefore, the ROA of Aquilera, Inc. is 12.08%

c. What is the company's Return on Equity (ROE)?

Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity

Therefore,

Total Equity = Total Assets - Total Debt

Total Equity = $14,600,000 - $5,400,000 = $9,200,000

ROE = Net income ÷ Total Equity

ROE = $1,764,000 ÷ $9,200,000 = 0.191739130434783 = 19.17%

Therefore, the ROE of Aquilera, Inc. is 19.17%

Paraphrasing ideas would require one to understand the context of the sentence so that you can write it in your own way so in a way it helps comprehension.<span />

Eastern Electric currently pays a dividend of about $1.64 per share and sells for $27 a share.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. 9.07%

b. 5.93%

c. 12.07%

Explanation:

Dividend valuation method is used to calculate the the value of stock based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return.

Stock Price = Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 3% )

Rate of return - 0.03 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.03 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.03

Rate of return = 0.0907 = 9.07%

$27 = $1.64 / ( 12% - Growth rate )

0.12 - Growth rate = $1.64 / $27

0.12 - Growth rate = 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.12 - 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.0593 = 5.93%

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 6% )

Rate of return - 0.06 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.06 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.06

Rate of return = 0.1207 = 12.07%

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Tech Solutions

1. The predetermined overhead rate is:

= $6

2. The total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement is:

= $79,470

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated direct labor-hours for the year = 55,000

Estimated fixed overhead cost = $302,500

Estimated variable overhead cost ($0.50 per DLH) = $27,500

Total overhead costs = $330,000 ($27,500 + $302,500)

Actual overhead cost for the year = $321,300

Actual total direct labor-hours = 58,850

Predetermined overhead rate = $6 ($330,000/55,000)

Xavier Company's Job:

Direct materials $ 50,850

Direct labor cost $ 27,300

Direct labor hours worked 220

Applied overhead = $1,320 ($6 * 220)

Total job cost = $79,470
