Answer:
A.) Firm B must have a higher ROE than first A.
Explanation:
Debt ratio is defined as percentage of a company's assets that is made up of debt and so it is calculated as a ratio of debt to assets of a company.
Interest expense is the amount that is paid to service a loan.
This implies that company B has higher loan portfolio than Company A.
Considering the accounting formula
Equity= Asset- Debt
So an increase in debt will result in a decrease in equity.
Return on equity= Net income/Equity
It follows that as debt increases and equity reduces, the ROE will increase since a shrink in the ROE denominator (Equity) will lead to an increase in the ratio.
Answer:
3.45%
Explanation:
the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721
the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609
% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%
Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).
