Available Options Are:
a. Cost of Goods Sold
b. Net Profit Margin
c. None of these
d. Asset Turnover
Answer:
Option B. Net Profit Margin
Explanation:
The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.
Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:
Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.

Answer:
A and B can go into a swap to gain advantage while still borrow at their desired rate. Details are in the explanation part.
Explanation:
Both A and B will borrow the same amount in the market, in which:
+ A can borrow from outside, floating at LIBOR + 0.5%. Go to a swap with B to receive LIBOR to B and pay fixed rate of 12% on the borrowed amount. So, total interest rate A has to pay is: Libor - (Libor + 0.5%) - 12.0% = -12.5% or 12.5% fixed => A borrowed fixed at 0.5% lower.
+ B can borrow from outside, fixed at 11%. Go to a swap with A to receive fixed rate of 12% and pay Libor to B on the borrowed amount. So, total interest rate B has to pay is: 12% - Libor -11% = -(Libor - 1%) or Libor - 1% floating => B borrowed floating at 2.5% lower.
