anzhelika [568]

Answer:

8.94%

Explanation:

Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE

Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000

= $37,500

Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation

Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity

Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities

= $250,000 - $37,500

= $212,500

Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;

(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)

= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500

= 8.94%

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C) 4.2 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is as follows;

As we know that

Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

Here

Initial cost = $278000

Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year

where,

Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life

= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years

= $31,000

Annual net cash flow is

= $35000 + $31000

= $66000

So,

Payback Period is

= $278000 ÷ $66000

= 4.2 Years

ahrayia [7]

Answer: $1,031 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Retained earnings(2010) = $14,329 million

Retained earnings(2009) = $13,157 million

Net income(2010) = $2,203 million

Amount of dividends = Retained earnings(2009) + Net income(2010) - Retained earnings(2010)

= $13,157 million + $2,203 million - $14,329 million

= $1,031 million

Therefore, amount of dividends did Colgate-Palmolive pay to its shareholders in 2010 is $1,031 million.
