Answer:
LeCompte Corp.
The profit margin that LeCompte Corp. would need in order to achieve the 15% ROE, holding everything else constant is:
A) 7.57%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets = $312,900
Common Equity = Assets = $312,900
Sales for the last year = $620,000
Net income after taxes = $24,655
Expected return on equity (ROE) = 15%
ROE (in amount) = $312,900 * 15% = $46,935
Profit margin = Returns on Equity/ Sales * 100
= $46,935/$620,000 * 100
= 7.57%
b) The expected returns on equity in dollars is equal to the net income. Therefore, we can use the ROE to calculate the profit margin. The profit margin expresses the relationship between sales and profit. It shows the profit made from each dollar sales.
Answer: The coupon rate is 13%
Explanation:
We would first calculate the Coupon Payment and then later using the coupon payment we would compute the Coupon rate.
PV = 
+ A [![[\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+r)^{N} } }{r} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%2Br%29%5E%7BN%7D%20%7D%20%7D%7Br%7D%20%5D)
]
Where,
FV = $1,000
PV = $1,291.31
r = 8%
N = 8 Years
A = Coupon Payment
1291.31 = 
+ A ![[\frac{1-\frac{1}{(1+0.08)^{8} } }{0.08} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%281%2B0.08%29%5E%7B8%7D%20%7D%20%7D%7B0.08%7D%20%5D)
Solve for A
A = 130.69
The coupon payment is $130
Coupon rate = (Coupon payment / Face value) x 100
= 
x 100
= 13 %
