Suppose the price of corn rises from $30 in January to $32 in February to $32.7 in March. What is the March inflation rate

1 answer:

3 0

The inflation rate formula is ( CPI2 - CPI1 )
      -------------------- x100
      CPI1
CPI2 = Price of the latter date
CPI1 = Price of the earlier date

So the latter price is $32.7 and the earlier is $32 (I'm assuming you mean the inflation from January to February)

Then plug in the numbers ( 32.7 - 32 )
      ---------------- x100
   32
32.7 - 32 = .7/32 = .021875 x 100 = 2.1875

Which means the answer would be if you round 2.2%

Answer:

The Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%)

Explanation:

As we know that,

Self Supporting Growth Rate = Return on Equity * (1 - Payout Ratio) ...Eq1

Here

Payout ratio given is 50%

and

Return on Equity = 35% (Step 1)

By putting values in Eq1, we have:

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 35% * (1 - 50%)

Self Supporting Growth Rate = 17.5%

Which means that Sales will increase by $350,000 (2000,000 * 17.5%) which is 17.5%.

Step 1: Find Return on Equity

We know that:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity ..............Eq2

As we are not given value of Net Income we can not calculate the value of return on equity. But there is another way that we can calculate by simply multiplying and dividing by sales on Left hand side of the Eq2 equation.

Return on Equity = Net Income / Equity * Sales / Sales

By rearranging, we have:

Return on Equity = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Equity

Now here,

Net Income / Sales = Profit Margin

By putting this in the above equation, we have:

Return on Equity = Profit Margin * Sales / Equity

Here

Profit Margin is 7% given in the question.

Sales were $2,000,000

And

Equity is $400,000 (Step 2)

By putting values, we have:

Return on Equity = 7% * $2,000,000 / $400,000

Return on Equity = 35%

Step 2. Find Equity

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Here,

Assets are worth $1,400,000

Liabilities are standing at $1,000,000 which includes only current liabilities because company doesn't have any long term borrowings

By putting the values, we have:

Equity = $1,400,000 - $1,000,000 = $400,000
