Answer:

A.

2015 37.7

2016 12.9

B. Yes

Explanation:

Computation of the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015

First step is to find the EBIT

EBIT: 2016 $ 2015 $

Gross profit 44,500 58,400

Less Selling, General and Administrative expenses (36,900) (38,800)

EBIT 7,600 19,600

Second step is to compute the times interest earned ratios for 2016 and 2015 using this formula

Time interest earned = EBIT / Interest expense

Let plug in the formula

Time interest earned 2016 2015

EBIT $7,600 $19,600

÷Interest expense $590 $520

=Time interest earned 12.9 37.7

Therefore the Time interest earned will be :

2015 37.7

2016 12.9

2. Yes Computer Tycoon generate sufficient net income in both 2015 and 2016 before taxes and interest in order to cover the cost of debt financing.

In this case, the original price of the car was $3,250. But since Michael's Plumbing was not able to pay the full amount at once, they made a down payment of $450 and later 24 equal installments of $150. In total, the amount paid will be (450+(150*24))= $4,050. The finance charge is what they will pay over and above the initial cash price. This is arrived at by getting the difference as follows $4,050-$3,250= $800</span></span>

iragen [17]

Answer:

IGR = 9.1640%

Explanation:

IGR = \frac{ROA \times retention}{1-(ROA \times retention)}

.45 dividend payout ratio

1 - .45 = .55 retention ratio

ROA = Return on Assets  

\frac{Earning \: before\: interest\:and\: taxes}{Toal \: Assets}

Income before taxes 6,200

Assets 11,820 + 28,800 = 40,620 Total Assets

ROA 6,200 / 40,620 = 0.15263417

IGR = \frac{ROA \times retention}{1-(ROA \times 0.retention)}

IGR = \frac{0.15263471 \times .55}{1-(0.15263471 \times 0.55)}

IGR = 0.09164031 = 9.1640%
