Answer:
1. $100,000 and 25%
2. $137,200 and 34.3%
3. $150,000 and 27%
Explanation:
1. It does not expand
a. Net income= $100,000 (as given in the question)
b. Return on equity= (net income)/(shareholder’s equity)
Shareholder’s equity= $400,000
Thus return on equity= 100000/400000 = 0.25 or 25%
2. It expands and issue $160,000 in debt
a. Net income= $100000 + 50000 – 12800 (debt interest 8% of $160000)
= $137,200
b. Return on equity= (net income)/(shareholder’s equity)
= 137200/400000
=0.343 or 34.3%
3. It expands and raises equity of $160000
a. Net Income= $100000 + 50000
= $150000
b. Return on equity= (net income)/(shareholder’s equity)
= 150000/(400000 + 160000)
Where ($560,000) 400000 + 160000 is shareholder’s equity
= 0.27 or 27%

Answer:
Workplace discrimination prevents the firm from using the full potential of those employees that are being discriminated against.
Explanation:
For example, if the firm discriminates against a specific group of people when hiring (for example, it can discriminate against older people), the firm could lose valuable potential employees that could have provided great skill and experience for the firm.
If the firm practices discrimination against employees, the operation in the company will not be as streamlined as it could be against discrimination because those who are being treated poorly will be less motivated and have lesser output.
Answer:
6.80%
Explanation:
The average nominal returns is the sum of the returns for 5 years divided by the number of returns considered( i.e 5, 5 returns for 5 years)
average nominal returns=(6%-13%+24%+18%+15%)/5
average nominal returns=10.00%
The Fisher's equation is shown thus:
(1 + i) = (1 + r) (1 + π)
i=nominal return=10.00%
r=average real return=the unknown
π=inflation rate=3%
(1+10.00%)=(1+r)*(1+3%)
1.10=(1+r)*1.03
1+1=1.10/1.03
r=(1.10/1.03)-1
r=6.80%
