Answer:

A.) Firm B must have a higher ROE than first A.

Explanation:

Debt ratio is defined as percentage of a company's assets that is made up of debt and so it is calculated as a ratio of debt to assets of a company.

Interest expense is the amount that is paid to service a loan.

This implies that company B has higher loan portfolio than Company A.

Considering the accounting formula

Equity= Asset- Debt

So an increase in debt will result in a decrease in equity.

Return on equity= Net income/Equity

It follows that as debt increases and equity reduces, the ROE will increase since a shrink in the ROE denominator (Equity) will lead to an increase in the ratio.

Which of the following is NOT one of the main motivations and characteristics of an entrepreneur?
mojhsa [17]

Process of elimination:

Flexibility is a characteristic because entrepreneurs are designing their own path (path being vague for whatever their entrepreneurship is focused on), allowing for flexibility

Risk is a characteristic because being on your own and doing your own thing is much more unstable than simply working for a well-founded company

Innovation is a characteristic, because the flexibility that comes from being an entrepreneur allows for freedom of ones own ideas, making innovation more likely.

Profit is not a particular characteristic, due to the risk factor.

Profit is the right answer :D

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$20,000 ordinary gain

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cash proceeds from Selling of the equipment = $50,000

Purchasing cost of the equipment = $60,000

Depreciation expense = $30,000

Now,

The book value of the equipment

= Purchasing cost of the equipment - Depreciation expense

= $60,000 - $30,000

= $30,000

Since,

the amount of proceeds from sales is higher than the book value of the equipment

Therefore a gain will be recognized

The amount of Gain = proceeds from Selling - book value

= $50,000 - $30,000

= $20,000

Hence,

$20,000 ordinary gain
