Answer:

A) ROA = 28%

B) ROE = 20%

Explanation:

Requirement A

We know,

Return on Asset = $\frac{Net Income}{Average Total Assets}$

If we break the ROA formula, we can get,

ROA = $\frac{Net Income}{Net Sales}$ × $\frac{Net Sales}{Average total assets}$

We know, Profit margin = Net Income ÷ Net Sales; and

Asset Turnover ratio = Net sales ÷ Average total assets

Therefore, ROA = Profit margin × Asset Turnover

Given,

Profit Margin = 7% = 0.07

Asset Turnover = 4.0

Hence, Return on Asset = 0.07 × 4 = 0.28 = 28%

It shows how assets generate income over a period.

Requirement B

We know,

Return on Equity = $\frac{Net Income}{Stockholders' Equity}$

If we break the formula, ROE = (Asset ÷ Equity) × (Debt Burden) × ROA

Given,

Debt-Equity ratio = 1

We know, Debt-equity ratio = $\frac{Total Debt}{Total Stockholders' Equity}$

As debt-equity ratio is 1, debt = equity

Therefore, assets = 2 times of debt or equity

Debt Burden = Net Income ÷ (EBIT - Interest)

Debt Burden = (EBIT - Interest - Tax) ÷ (EBIT - Interest)

Debt Burden = $(21,000 - 8,200 - 8,200) ÷ $(21,000 - 8,200)

Debt Burden = $4,600 ÷ $12,800

Debt Burden = 0.359375

We have already got ROA from requirement A, ROA = 28% = 0.28

Hence, ROE = (2 ÷ 1) × 0.359375 × 0.28

ROE = 0.20125

ROE = 20%

Longley Trucking is issuing a 20-year bond with a $2,000 face value tomorrow. The issue is to pay an 8% coupon rate, because tha

Katen [24]

Answer:

Longly will receive $1,817.43 from selling the bond.

Explanation:

As the coupon rate is 8%; we have annual coupon payment = 2,000 x 8% = $160.

The price of the bond Longly will receive is equal to the present value of 20 annual coupon payment plus the present value of $2,000 face value repayment in 20 years time; with the two streams of cash flow discounting at the market rate at the date of issuing 9%; which is calculated as:

[ ( 160/9%) x [ 1 - 1.09^(-20) ] ] + ( 2,000 / 1.09^20 ) = $1,817.43.

So, the answer is $1,817.43.

At the beginning of 2014, Sabrina Company had the following normal ledger balances: Accounts Receivable: $24,000 Allowance for U

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$10,300

Explanation:

Accounts receivable, beginning = $24,000

Credit sales = $450,000

Cash collections from customers = $460,000

Accounts receivables written off = $3,700

Accounts receivables, ending = Accounts receivable, beginning + Credit sales - Cash collections from customers - Accounts receivables written off

Accounts receivables, ending = $24,000 + $450,000 - $460,000 - $3,700

Accounts receivables, ending = $10,300

So, at the end of the year, the balance in the Accounts receivable is $10,300.

Answer:

<u><em>But where do we go from here? </em></u>

It depends on the result of more government intervention on quality life standards.

<u><em>Do we need less or more government involvement? </em></u>

It depends on the problems that need to be addressed. For example, to address problems such inequality it is mandatory that the government gets involve and create laws to prevent it. But surely for more movement of capitals there is no need of higher government involvement.
