Answer:
E. If the interest rate the companies pay on their debt is more than their basic earning power (BEP), then Company Heidee will have the higher ROE.
Explanation:
Base on the scenario been described in the question, we saw that between the two companies, Heidee and Leaudy, they both have the same total assets, sales, operating costs, and tax rates, and they pay the same interest rate on their debt but company Heidee has a higher debt ratio, this will make company Heidee has a higher ROE because of its higher ratio of debt
The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A future value 12200
P present value 6100
R interest rate ?
K compounded quarterly 4
T time 9 years
Set the equation and solve for r (interest rate)
12200=6100 (1+r/4)^(4×9)
Divide both sides by 6100
12200/6100=(1+r/4)^(36)
2=(1+r/4)^(36)
Take the root of 36 for both sides
2^(1/36)=1+r/4
R= (2^(1/36)-1)×4
R=(2^(1÷36)−1)×4
R=0.0778×100
R=7.78%

Answer:
(B) 40%
Explanation:
↓Q / ΔPrice = Price-elasicity
The price elasticity is the relationship between a change in price with the quantity demanded of a certain good assuming, other factor remains constant.
ΔPrice = (P0 - P1)/((P0 + P1)/2) = (2 - 6)/((2+6)/2) = 4/4 = 1
We know that price elasticity is 0.4
Now we can solve for the change in the quantity demanded:
↓Q/ 1 = 0.4
↓Q = 0.4 x 1 = 0.40 = 40%
E S ( elasticity of supply ) = .5 ( supply is inelastic: E S < 1 )
The formula is:
E S = Δ Q / Δ P * P / Q,
where: Δ Q is the change in quantity, Δ P is change in price, P is initial price and Q is initial quantity.
.5 = Δ Q / 25 * 50 / 100,000
Δ Q = .5 * 25 * 100,000 / 5
Δ Q = 25,000
Quantity at the new price: Q ( new ) = 100,000 + 25,000 = 125,000
