Answer:
ROE would have changed by 8.52%
Explanation:
First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,
ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity
or
ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
- Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%
The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.
- New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
- The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
Answer:
$ 244 million
Explanation:
Calculation for how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory
Tax rate Amount (In millions)
LIFO $ 10,315.00 35% =$ 3,610.25
FIFO $ 11,012.00 35% =$ 3,854.20
Savings in taxes $ (697.00) $ (243.95)
Hence,
Savings in taxes=$ 3,610.25 million-$ 3,854.20 million
Savings in taxes=($243.95 million)
Savings in taxes=($ 244 million) Approximately
Therefore the amount that GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory will be $ 244 million
Dividends that were paid last year = $200
Retained earnings = $522
Net Income = Retained earnings + Dividends paid = 200+522 =722
Tax rate was 38%.
Earnings before tax (EBT) = Net income/ (1-tax rate) =722/(1-0.38) = 1,164.52
Interest expense= 624
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = EBT + interest expense = 1,164.52 + 624 = 1,788.52
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = 1,788.52
