Answer:

Divisions                                              A                  B                         C

1) ROI                                                     23%              7.50%               10.40%

2) Residual income(loss)                    $428400    -$141200               $0        

3)a ROI                                                 reject            accept               reject  

3b) Residual income                         Accept            Reject             Accept      

Explanation:

Divisions                                              A                  B                         C

Sales                                           $15,300,000   $35,300,000     $20,240,000

Net operating income                 $703,800        $529,500          $526,240

operating Assets                         $3,060,000     $7,060,000      $5,060,000

required rate of return                 9.00%                9.50%                  10.40

ROI = Net operating income / average operating assets

Residual income(loss) = controllable margin- required return* average operating expenses

 let controllable margin = net operating income

sales are primary incomes more like gross without any expenses deducted.

3a ) If performance is measured by ROI then the new rate of the investment must be higher than the ROI for a project to be accepted

3b) Residual income: for a project to be accepted it must have a positive effect on it and or should generate a positive residual income.

LTM, Inc. has an issue of preferred stock whose par value is $1,000. The preferred stock pays a 4.5% dividend. If investors requ
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

return on preferred stock (rp) = Dividend/ Current price

rate of return  = 5.5% or 0.055 as a decimal

Dividend amount = dividend rate * par value ;

Dividend amount = 4.5% * 1000 = $45

Current price = ?

Next, plug the numbers to the formula above to find Price;

0.055 = 45/ Price

0.055Price = 45

Divide both sides by 0.055;

Price = 45/ 0.055

Price = $818.18

Latesha Moore has a choice at work between a traditional health insurance plan that pays 80 percent of the cost of doctor visits
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Consider the following calculation and analysis

Explanation:

We will analyse from cost perspective, the alternative with lower cost should be selected.

Total no. of doctor visit = 12 monthly visit + 3 times special visit = 15

Cost = 50 * 15 = $750

Under Traditional health checkup plan

Cost of plan = $ 250 + (20% of doctor visiting charges) = 250 + 20% of 750 = $400

Under HMO

Premium = 20 * 12 months = $240

Co payment = 10 * 15 = 150

Total = $ 390

There is a saving of $10 in HMO, so she should opt for this option. Moreover, the benefit of HMO would be the payments are monthly in small installments ,rather than a big outflow as in the case of traditonal plan.
