Answer: Jack Corp's D/E ratio is 0.67.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

We begin with the DuPont Identity for Return on Equity (RoE)

RoE = Net Profit Margin * Asset turnover Ratio * Equity Multiplier

Substituting the values from the question in the DuPont identity we get,

0.1964 = 0.051 * 2.3 * Equity Multiplier

Equity Multiplier = \frac{0.1964}{0.051*2.3}

Equity Multiplier = 1.674339301


Equity Multiplier = \frac{Total Assets }{Equity}

So,

\frac{1}{Equity multiplier} =\frac{Equity}{Total Assets}

Substituting the value of equity multiplier in the formula above we get,

\frac{Equity}{Total Assets} = 0.597250509

Now,

\frac{Equity}{Total Assets} + \frac{Debt}{Total Assets} =1

So,

\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 1 - \frac{Equity}{Total Assets}

\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 1 - 0.597250509


\frac{Debt }{Total Assets} = 0.402749491


Now that we have the proportions of debt and equity to total assets, we can  find the Debt Equity (D/E) ratio as follows:

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{\frac{Debt}{Total Assets}}{\frac{Equity}{Total Assets}}

Substituting the values we get,

\frac{D}{E} = \frac{0.402749491
}{0.597250509
}

\frac{D}{E} = 0.674339301

Answer:

The correct options are as follows

Buyers will pay all of the tax.

The price of Humbugs will rise to $60.

The quantity of Humbugs demanded will not change.

Explanation:

As the question is not complete, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith.

The options given are as follows

Sellers will pay all of the tax.

Buyers will pay all of the tax.

The price of Humbugs will rise to $60.

The price of Humbugs will rise by less than $10.

The quantity of Humbugs demanded will not change.

Now option 1 is not correct as the buyer has to pay the tax not the seller.

option 2 is correct

option 3 is correct

option 4 is not correct as the initial price is $50 and the new price is to be more than $60 thus the rise is more than $10.

option 5 is correct as the demand of the hamburger will remain the same.

To build trust in a cooperative relationship, both firms can: a. write short-term contracts that must be renewed frequently. b.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

D) make mutual investments in specialized assets.

Explanation:

I'm not sure about the exact background of the question, but if you are trying to build a trust relationship with another company, the best way to do it is by investing together.

E.g. if company A is interested in securing an important supplier, instead of trying to acquire it, they might try to invest together in some assets or another business. That way, when it comes to deciding which company should receive discounts or prioritize their requirements, the supplier will always favor their business partners.

The Sports Club plans to pay an annual dividend of $1.20 per share next year, $1.12 per share a year for the following two years
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$9.63

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Year              Annual dividend paid

   1                                      $1.20

   2                                      $1.12

   3                                      $1.12

   4                                      $14.20

Now,

Year       Annual dividend paid        Present value factor     Present value

   1                              $1.20                          0.84246               1.011

   2                             $1.12                          0.84246               0.7949

   3                             $1.12                          0.59793             0.6696

   4                             $14.20                       0.50373             7.1529

===============================================================

Worth of stock = 1.011 + 0.7949 + 0.6696 + 7.1529

= $9.6284 ≈ $9.63

Note:

Present value factor = [ 1 ÷ (1 + 0.187)ⁿ]

here,

n is the year
