Answer:

(A) 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

(B) 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

(C) Margin of Safety 40% of Sales

Explanation:

(A)

$Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin$

275 - 150 = <u>125 CM per unit</u>

$\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}$

$\frac{225,000}{125} = 1,800 = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}$

${units \: sold- BEP_{units} = margin \: of \: safety_{units}$

3,000 - 1,800 = 1,200 Margin of Safety_{units}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution per unit. Then the BEP in units and with that the margin of safety in units.

(B)

$\frac{Contribution Margin}{Sales Revenue} = $Contribution Margin Ratio$

125/275 = 0.45454545 = <u>5/11 CM ratio</u>

$\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}$

225,000/(5/11) = 495,000 BEP USD

${current \:sales - BEP_{USD} = margin \: of \: safety$

825,000-495,000 = 330,000 Margin of Safety_{usd}

HOW? we Calculate the contribution ratio by dividing CM over sales. Then the BEP in dollars and with that the margin of safety in dollars.

<em><u>Important:</u></em> When posible to avoid rounding errors express as fraction iof posible

(C)

$\frac{current \:sales - BEP_{USD}}{current \:sales} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety$

$\frac{330,000}{825,000} \times 100 = margin \: of \: safety$

Margin of Safety 40%

Dividends= $ that people who bought stock in a company receive. Generally, these increase when the company is doing well.
Stock= becomes more expensive the better a company is doing and has been doing for a while because it is in higher demand.

I predict that the company's stock will rise because it is in higher demand based upon it's consistently doing well. Make sense?

Jack corp. Has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, total asset turnover of 2.3, and roe of 19.64 percent. What is this firm's debt-e

anygoal [31]

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
$
