Answer:

The retainesd earnings figure will increase by 464,400 dollars

Explanation:

<em><u>Parent Company premium: </u></em>

Premium: 750,000 / 20 years = 37,500 depreciation per year

unamortized portion at Dec 31th 2013:

amortized: 750,000 - 37,500 x 4 years = 150,000

unarmortized: 750,000 - 150,000 = 600,000

We must reverse 40% of the premium as is within the same company:

600,000 x 40% = 240,000

<u><em>Subsidiary Discount:</em></u>

16,500,000 X 40% = 6,600,000

Purchase at 96.6

Discount of 3.4 = 6,600,000 x 3.4% = 224,400

We must reverse this as is part of the same company.

In total retained earnings will increase by

240,000 + 224,400 =  464,400 dollars

b) 2.74

c) 3.89

Explanation:

a) The Degree of Operating Leverage measures how much operating Income will change by if Sales change.

It is calculated with the formula,

= (Sales - Variable Costs) / (Sales - Variable Costs - fixed costs)

= (960,000 - 532,000) / (960,000 - 532,000 - 127,000)

= 1.42

b) The Degree of financial leverage measures how much Income will change due to a change in operating Income.

The formula is,

=Earnings before Interest and tax / Earnings before Interest and tax - Interest or just Earning before tax

= 301,000/110,000

= 2.74

c. Degree of Total Leverage is a measure of how sensitive the net income of a company is to a change in goods produced and/or sold.

It is calculated by multiplying DOL and DFL.

= 1.42 * 2.74

= 3.89

Green Caterpillar Garden Supplies Inc. just reported earnings after tax (also called net income) of $9,750,000, and a current st
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a. $12.08 per share

Explanation:

For computing the next year stock we have to do the following calculations  

Current Earning per share  = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares Outstanding

= $9,750,000 ÷ 5,500,000 shares  

= $1.77

Current Price Earning ratio = Current stock price ÷  Current EPS

= $14.74 ÷ $1.77

= 8.33

Now Next year earning per share = $9,750,000 ×  1.25 ÷ 8,400,000 shares = $1.45

So, the next year stock price = $1.45 x 8.33

= $12.08 per share

The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is the portion of each extra dollar of a household's income that's saved. MPC is the portion of each extra dollar of a household's income that is consumed or spent. Consumer behavior concerning saving or spending has a very significant impact on the economy as a whole.

adoni [48]

Answer:

b.used to evaluate a company's liquidity and short-term debt paying ability.

Explanation:

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year. It tells investors and analysts how a company can maximize the current assets on its balance sheet to satisfy its current debt and other payables.

The current ratio is sometimes referred to as the “working capital” ratio and helps investors understand more about a company’s ability to cover its short-term debt with its current assets.

A company with a current ratio less than one does not, in many cases, have the capital on hand to meet its short-term obligations if they were all due at once, while a current ratio greater than one indicates the company has the financial resources to remain solvent in the short-term.
