Unexpectedly high inflation tends to hurt ________ most

Business
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago
5 0
Unexpectedly high inflation tends to hurt lenders the most. When lenders lend money, it is valuable ,  but the amount of money that must be returned to him/her is fixed. Over time, the value of the money keeps depreciating and finally when the borrower does return the money, the value decreases to a very small amount, which is not worth much. For example, let's say a borrower borrows money from a lender to buy a car. With time, the value of money depreciated so much that when the borrower finally returns the money, the same amount of money is not even worth buying a box a matches!

Consolidated Industries is a diversified manufacturer with business units organized as divisions, including the Reigis Steel Div
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

All numbers are expressed in 1,000s

1. Calculate Reigis Steel Division’s unit contribution if it produced and sold 3,300,000 units during the year ended November 30, 2019.

Sales revenue                                            $216,000

- variable costs:                                          ($118,650)

  • COGS ($112,350)
  • selling expenses ($6,300)

contribution margin                                    $97,350

- period costs:                                            ($34,600)

  • administrative expenses ($22,000)
  • selling expenses ($12,600)

EBIT                                                             $62,750

contribution margin per unit = $97,350 / 3,300,000 units = $0.0295 ≈ $0.03 per unit

2. Calculate the following performance measures for 2019 for Reigis:

a. Pretax ROI, based on average operating assets employed.

ROI = net income / cost of investment = $62,750 / $382,250 = 0.1642 ≈ 16.42%

b. Residual income (RI), calculated on the basis of average operating assets employed.

RI = controllable margin – (average operating assets x required rate of return) = $62,750 - ($382,250 x 12%) = $62,750 - $45,870 = $16,880
