Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a
Luden [163]

Answer:

2.41%

Explanation:

The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-

Particulars          Firm HD                             Firm LD

Assets $200      Debt ratio 50%            Debt ratio 30%

EBIT $40            Interest rate 12%          Interest rate 10%

Tax rate 35%

Debt                            $100                              $60

Interest                        $12                                  $6

                          ($100 × 12%)                       ($60 × 10%)      

Taxable income         $28                                 $36

                               ($40- $12)                          ($40 - $6)

Net income                $18.2                                $22.1

                       $28 × (1 - 0.35)                     $36 × (1 - 0.35)

Equity                          $100                                $140

                              ($200 - $100)                   ($200 - $60)

ROE                              18.2%                               15.79%

                           ($18.2 ÷ $100)                   ($22.1 ÷ $140)

Taxable income = EBIT - Interest

Net income = Income - Taxable income

Equity = Assets - Debt

ROE = Net income ÷ Equity

Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD

= 18.2% - 15.79%

= 2.41%

So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.

A retired auto mechanic hopes to open a rustproofing shop. Customers would be local new-car dealers. Two locations are being con
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1) Outside Location

2) Central Location

The profit will be the same when monthly demand is 230 cars

Explanation:

Let central location be termed as location A

Let outside location be termed as location B

<u>1. Demand 200 cars</u>

Profit- Location A = (90-30) * 200 - 7000 = $5000

Profit- Location B = (90-40) * 200 - 4700 =$5300

<u>2. Demand 300 cars</u>

Profit- Location A = (90-30) * 300 - 7000 = $11000

Let x be the number of cars where profit is same,

we will equate both the profit equations

(90-30)*x - 7000 = (90-40)*x - 4700

60x - 7000 = 50x - 4700

60x - 50x = 7000 -4700

10x = 2300

x = 2300/10

x = 230 cars

Profit- Location B = (90-40) * 300 - 4700 =$10300

A comparative advantage is the ability of a country to produce a particular good or service at a lower ____________ than another
kotykmax [81]

Answer

Hi,

Correct answer option is {a}

Explanation

Comparative advantage occurs when a nation produces a good or service for a lower opportunity cost than other countries. In this case, the advantages of buying their goods or services will surpass the disadvantages. This is to say that country may not be the best nation in production of a particular good or service but the good or service offers a low opportunity cost for other nations to import. A good example is oil-producing nations who have a comparative advantage in chemicals because the oil is locally produced thus a cheap raw material for chemicals as compared to nations without oil production.

Best of Luck!
