Answer:

Please check the info below

Explanation:

1. For Osaka

Margin =  Net Operating Income / Sales *100

= $ 792000 / $9900000 *100

= 8.00%

Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets * 100

= $ 9900000 / $ 2475000 * 100

= 4.00%

ROI =  Margin * Turnover

= 8% *4 %

= 32.00%

Hence the correct answer is 32.00%

For Yokohama :

Margin =  Net Operating Income / Sales *100

= $ 2900000 / $ 29000000*100

= 10.00%

Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets * 100

= $ 29000000 / $ 14500000* 100

= 2.00%

ROI =  Margin * Turnover

= 10% *2 %

= 20.00%

Hence the correct answer is 20.00%

2. The correct answer is  

Osaka = $ 371,250

Yokohama = $ 435,000

3. The correct answer is No

This is because since Osaka has a higher ROI, Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income is not an indication that it is better managed

wel

Answer:

$18,400

Explanation:

A/R                                                               $20,100

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts         ($1,700)

net realizable value of A/R                             $18,400    

The write off amount is already included in allowance for doubtful accounts on provision basis therefore it can't be separately deducted again.

You are trying to decide between a par value corporate bond carrying a coupon rate of 6.25% per year and a par value municipal b
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

D.

Municipal bond because the equivalent taxable yield is 6.6%

Explanation:

we should make the important difference that municipal bonds are tax free while corporate bonds don't.

Therefore we should solve for the after tax rate fo the corporate bond:

pretax (1-t) = after tax -rate\\0.0625(1-0.28) = 0.0625(0.72) = 0.045

The corporate bond as a yield of 4.5% after taxes which is lower than the municipal bond. This make it more attractive

We can also solve for the pre-tax rate of the municipal bond:

pretax(1-t) = after tax - rate\\pretax (1-0.28) = 0.0475\\pretax = 0.0475/0.72 = 0,065972 = 0.066

the municipal bonds would be equivalent to a 6.6% corporate bonds.

This makes option D correct.
