Answer: c. Total Assets/ Equity

Explanation:

To measure the Return on Equity with 3 ratios, the <em>DuPont Analysis</em> can be used. This is a technique of deconstructing the Return on Equity ratio into various constituent ratios so that their effect on Return on Equity is better know.

The basic DuPont Analysis is;

Return on Equity = $\frac{Net Income}{Revenue} * \frac{Sales}{Total Assets} * \frac{Total Assets}{Equity}$

Total Assets/ Equity or the Assets to Shareholder Equity ratio is the answer.

Answer:

Chevron Phillips (CP)

a. The gross income or annual savings is:

= $804,846.

b. The income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40% is:

= $131,600.

c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:

= $559,400.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings = $804,846

Interest expense 113,846

Depreciation 362,000

Taxable income $329,000

Income tax 131,600

Net income $197,400

Cash Flows:

Net income $197,400

Depreciation 362,000

After-tax cash flow $559,400

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1) the product launch.

Explanation:

As the product in consideration is new, and that the company performs the analysis of customer demands and needs for the product to be introduced, also the company defines the target market for its product, this conclusively reflects that the company wants to launch a new product.

Since it is a preliminary activity basically analyzing market before launch of product, there are no results therefore there is no evaluation of results.

Further there is a market testing, not for the entire company products, but only for the new product thus, it can not be termed as pre-market demonstrations.

Eastern Electric currently pays a dividend of about $1.64 per share and sells for $27 a share.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. 9.07%

b. 5.93%

c. 12.07%

Explanation:

Dividend valuation method is used to calculate the the value of stock based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return.

Stock Price = Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 3% )

Rate of return - 0.03 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.03 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.03

Rate of return = 0.0907 = 9.07%

$27 = $1.64 / ( 12% - Growth rate )

0.12 - Growth rate = $1.64 / $27

0.12 - Growth rate = 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.12 - 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.0593 = 5.93%

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 6% )

Rate of return - 0.06 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.06 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.06

Rate of return = 0.1207 = 12.07%

Berkshire Inc. uses a periodic inventory system. At the end of 2015, it missed counting some inventory items, resulting in an in

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Assets understated by $510,000, liabilities understated by $153,000 and shareholders' equity understated by $357,000.

Explanation:

An understatement of closing inventory will have the following effects,

First of all the inventory as an asset is understated by $510,000

Second, this inventory was subject to deduction from the Cost of goods sold as, Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory.

Since this amount was not subtracted from the CGS, the gross profit and ultimately the Net profits were understated by $510,000.

This will be added in the net profits.

With an increase in net profits, the tax payable amount also increases. This is calculated as 510,000 * 0.30 = $153,000

So total change in profits is = 510,000 - 153,000 = $357,000

While $153,000 is still payable and is recorded as a tax payable liability.

Thus,

Assets understated by $510,000

Liabilities Understated by $153,000 (tax payable)

Share holders equity understated by $357,000 (part of retained profits)

Hope that helps.
