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%

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The answer is: Compensation

Explanation:

Compensation is not only the money you earn as a salary for the job you perform. It is the total amount of monetary (salary) and non-monetary benefits provided to an employee by his employer.

Non-monetary benefits include perks which aren't part of the salary but have real value for the employees.

The problem for small companies is that their pockets aren't as deep as corporate pockets, so they can offer limited compensation (both monetary and non-monetary).

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: If interest rate was 4%= $180.09. If interest rate was 8%= $317.22

Explanation:

Assuming that the aboriginal trackers were promised the $100 at the beginning of the year 1880 and the claim was also made at the beginning of the year 1995.

Number of years from 1880-1995 = 15 years

If the interest rate was 4%

= 100*(1+4%)^15

= $180.09

If the interest rate was 8%

= 100*(1+8%)^15

= $317.22
