A rock-climbing school faces two demand curves. The demand by local residents is Q = four hundred - zero.fivep and the demand by others is Q = five hundred - zero.fivep. The marginal costs of serving either local residents or other are constant at one hundred dollars. If the rock-climbing school system third-degree price discrimination, It will charge local citizens and others a price of four hundred fifty dollars and five hundred fifty dollars, respectively.
Answer:
a) DuPont analysis for Johnson International
2013: 0.059 x 2.11 x 1.75 = 0.2179 = 21.79%
2014: 0.058 x 2.18 x 1.75 = 0.2213 = 22.13%
2015: 0.049 x 2.34 x 1.85 = 0.2121 = 21.21%
b) DuPont analysis for industry averages
2013: 0.054 x 2.05 x 1.67 = 0.2121 = 21.21%
2014: 0.047 x 2.13 x 1.69 = 0.1692 = 16.92%
2015: 0.041 x 2.15 x 1.64 = 0.1446 = 14.46%
c) Johnson International's drivers follow the same tendency as the industry's average, e.g. net profit margin decreased in a similar manner, and total asset turnover increased also in a similar manner to the industry's average. The only driver that doesn't follow the industry's trend is financial leverage. While other companies in the same industry decreased their financial leverage, Johnson increased it. You should further analyze why this happened and what are the potential consequences.
Explanation:
The DuPont analysis is used to break down ROE into 3 different components and that way you can analyze whether a company's high ROE comes along with a high risk. The following formula is used to calculate ROE based on 3 different factors:
R
OE = net pro
fit margin x total assets turnover x financial leverage
At breakeven point, the cost is equal to the revenue. This also means that the net profit is equal to zero. If we let x be the number of units sold or produced, the total costs and revenue are calculated as follows:
Total Cost = 10x + 10,000
Total Revenue = 20x
Equation both,
10x + 10,000 = 20x
The value of x from the equation is 1000.
Answer: 1000
