Answer:

The correct answer is Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Explanation:

The Sarbanes Oxley Law was enacted in the United States with the purpose of monitoring companies that are listed on the stock exchange, preventing the valuation of their shares from being altered doubtfully, while their value is lower. Its purpose is to avoid fraud and bankruptcy risk, protecting the investor.

This law, beyond the local level, also involves all companies listed on the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), as well as its subsidiaries.

This law arose in response to the financial scandals of large corporations, such as: Enron, Tyco International, WorldCom and Peregrine Systems, as these diminished the public's confidence in the accounting systems and, above all, in the audit.

katrin [286]

Answer:

ROE would have changed by 8.52%

Explanation:

First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,

ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity

or

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier

  • Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%

The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.

  • New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
  • The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
