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%

<h2>Pre-Increment increments the value immediately, Post increment increments the value only after executing the entire line.</h2>

Explanation:

class PrePostIncOperator {

   public static void main(String[] args){

         int x=5;    

         System.out.println(x++);          

         System.out.println("\n"+ ++x);    

        }

   }

Let us understand the program.

int x = 5 => Initializes the value of 5 to the variable x

System.out.println(x++);  This is the post increment operator. The value of x gets incremented only after printing the value. That is first System.out.println(x) will be executed and then the increment operator takes place once it finds the ";" that is the end of the statement. The memory which holds the value of x is changed only after executing the statement.

System.out.println("\n"+ ++x);     Here the value gets incremented and immediately assigns to the memory.

Bezzdna [24]
The type of marketing channel that this represents is direct.
This means that there are no intermediaries between the seller and the consumer. This local store buys the goods, and then sells it to the buyers itself - there is no third-party retailer or dealer which is going to do that for the local store - that would be indirect marketing, which is something this is not.
