7. DuPont Identity. X Corp. has net income of $20 million, Sales of $100 million, asset turnover of .6, and debt-equity ratio of
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Net Income = 20m

Sales = 100m

Debt-equity ration = 40%

Asset turnover = 0.60

A)

Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales  = $20 million / $100 million  = 20%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.40  = 1.40

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier               = 20% * 0.60 * 1.40  = 16.80%

B)

Debt-equity ratio = 60%

Equity Multiplier = 1 + Debt-Equity Ratio  = 1 + 0.60  = 1.60

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier  = 20% * 0.60 * 1.60 = 19.20%

As calculations provide, if debt-equity ratio increases to 60%, Return on equity will increase by 2.40% (19.20% - 16.80%)

Media planners typically use psychographic classifications to define their target audiences and rely heavily on primary research
kati45 [8]
<span>To properly target potential customers, it is necessary to know not only what the needs are of the people they're advertising, they also need to know how the item will be used. There are multiple reasons that a customer would buy an item or service, so I assume media planners would need to use psychographic classifications to know who their target audience is and what they would like. How heavily planners rely on these classsifications probably effects the response they received from the audience.</span>

Ben, a product manager at SunRise Juice Co., is having a hard time choosing the wording for a new ready-made fruit smoothie prod
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

  • I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.

Explanation:

<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.

Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.

Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think  they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>

Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.

This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.

I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.

I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling  in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.
