Answer:

a. 5.37%

b. 5.08%

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate net profit before return on stockholder's equity

Sales. $4,430,000

Net income % on sales 2%

Net income. $88,600

We will also calculate total stockholder's equity

Sales. $4,430,000

Asset turnover ratio. 4.5

Total assets. $984,444

Less: current liab. ($167,000)

Less: long term liab. ($342,000)

Total stockholder's. $475,444

equity

a. Return on stockholder's equity

= Total stockholder's equity ÷ Net income

= $475,444 ÷ $88,600

= 5.37%

b. New return on stockholder's equity

Total assets $984,444

× Asset turnover ratio. 4.75

New total sales. $4,676,109

Net income % sales. 2%

Net income $93,522

Recall that total stockholder's equity = $475,444

Net income = $93,522

Therefore, New return on stockholder's

equity = Total stockholder's equity / Net income

= $475,444 ÷ $93,522

= 5.08%

COMPANY – B= $6.64

Explanation:

Calculation for the higher productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input

PRESENT

Average time =59 minutes

Cost=59 minutes x$1.30 per minute

Cost = $76.7

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$76.7

Productivity (per $input)= $5.21

COMPANY – A

Average time= (59 minutes-16 minutes)

Average time=43 minutes

Cost= 43 minutes x $1.30 per minute + $3.60

Cost=$55. 9+$3.60

= $59.50

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$59.50

Productivity (per $input) = $6.72

COMPANY – B

Average time= (59 minutes - 17 minutes)

Average time=42 minutes

Cost= 42 minutes x $1.30 per minute + $5.60

Cost=$54. 6+$5.60

= $60.20

Productivity (per $input)=$400/$60.20

Productivity (per $input) = $6.64

Summary

PRESENT:Productivity (per $input)= $5.21

COMPANY – A:Productivity (per $input) = $6.72

COMPANY – B:Productivity (per $input) = $6.64

Therefore COMPANY – A with the amount of $6.72 would have the higher productivity in terms of revenue per dollar of input because it has the highest amount.
