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%

jekas [21]

Answer:

a) $7,400

b)$60,000

Explanation:

First, we need to complete the question

a) What is Rita's home office deduction for the current year?

b) What is Rita's AGI for the year?

Solution

a) Rita's Home Office Deduction for the Current Year

Description                                                        Amount ($)

Gross Income                                                   13,000

Subtract: Her Business Expenses                    (5,600)

The balance                                                        7,400

Subtract: Expenses under 1st Tier                     (6,700)

(Interest 5,100 + taxes 1,600)

Balance                                                                   700

Subtract: Expenses unde 2nd Tier                        (700)

($800 Operating Expernses before limit)

Balance                                                                    0

Subtract: Expenses under 3rd Tier                         (0)

1,600 Depreciation before limit

<u>Net income from Rita's Business                              0</u>

The Deduction allowed Rita is $7,400 a totla of the home office expenses and the home operating expenses

Note that there was no expense subtracted for the Tier 3 expenses this is because Rita's income had reduced to $0 and there was nothing to subtract from

B)  What is Rita's AGI for the year?

The AGI is the Rita's reported AGI of $60,000 + $0 which is the net calculated income from her business. So her AGI remains $60,000.
