Last year Ann Arbor Corp had $195,000 of assets (which equals total invested capital), $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income,

and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes a new computer program will enable it to reduce costs and thus raise net income to $33,000. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Assets, total invested capital, sales, and the debt to capital ratio would not be affected. By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answer:

The cost reduction would improve the ROE by 10.67%

Explanation:

Debt is 37.5% of Total capital or we can say equity is 62.5% of total capital.

Total capital = $195,000

Equity = $195000*62.5%

           = $121,875

Old ROE = (Net income/Total Equity)*100

               = ($20,000/$121875)*100

               = 16.41025641%

New ROE = ($33000/$121875)*100

                 = 27.076923076%

Improvement in ROE = 27.076923076% - 16.41025641%

                                   = 10.6666666666%

Therefore, The cost reduction would improve the ROE by 10.67%

Igoryamba

Answer:

$300

Explanation:

Deductible referred to as the amount paid from one's pocket to join the amount of one's loss, while the insurance company balance up the remaining.

The loss which is $800 is a little bit more than deductibles.

Damage=$800

Deductibles=$500

The damages is just $300 more than deductibles.

As stated in the question there is a collision and comprehensive insurance for the driver , therefore the driver will pay $500 from his own pocket.

THE PORTION OF CLAIM THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAY =($800-$500)=$300

$300 will only be received from the company.

In Higher deductibles the premium insurance is reduced in cost.

In lower deductibles there is higher premium but with the cost from one's pocket is low.

Deductible has influence on

one's claim.

Comprehensive insurance is one of automobile insurance,it covers damages or event that occurs to a car that is out of one's control.It covers for replacement or repairment of one's car if damaged by something or to repair bit, other a collision.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The income elasticity of demand for frozen dinners is negative when there is an increase of hourly wages. -51%

Explanation:

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Distributive bargaining

Explanation:

Distributive bargaining can be defined as a type of bargaining system/strategy in which one party gains only if the other party loses.

Distributive bargaining is mostly used when there is a negotiation that involves fixed resources e.g; money, assets, etc.

Distributive bargaining as a negotiation strategy does not aim to provide a win-win situation for all parties involved but that one party loses while the other gains considerably.

An example of distributive bargaining is a supermarket having a fixed price for an item. in that situation, you can't bargain and as such you either buy the item or leave the store.

That results in a win for the supermarket and a loss for you the buyer should yo choose to buy the item.

How can a country gain from specialization and​ trade? A. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has an absolut
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.

Explanation:

<em>Comparative advantage</em> is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.

For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per <em>Comparative Advantage</em> concept.

Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per <em>Comparative Advantage </em>model.

Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.

<em> In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory</em>.

It is to be noted that <em>Absolute Advantage model </em>of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the <em>Comparative Advantage Model </em>developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.
