Last year Ann Arbor Corp had $250,000 of assets (which equals total invested capital), $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income,

and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes that a new computer program will enable the company to reduce costs and thus raise net income to $33,000. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Assets, total invested capital, sales, and the debt to capital ratio would not be affected. By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE

Answer:

8.32%

Explanation:

The computation of  cost reduction improve the ROE is shown below:-

For computing the increase in ROE first we need to follow some steps which is here below:-

Debt = capital × Debt

= $250,000 × 37.5%

= $93,750

Equity = Assets - Debt

= $250,000 - $93,750

= $156,250

New ROE = New Net income ÷ Equity

= $33,000 ÷ $156,250

= 21.12%

Old ROE = Old Net income ÷ Equity

= $20,000 ÷ $156,250

= 12.8%

Increase in ROE = New ROE- Old ROE

= 21.12% - 12.8%

= 8.32%

Why is your amount owed considered when determining your credit score?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Owing cash on credit accounts doesn't really mean you're a high-hazard borrower with a low credit Score. Notwithstanding, when a high level of an individual's accessible credit is been utilized, this can show that an individual is overextended, and is bound to make late or missed installments.

The amount owed on different accounts decides 30% of the FICO score. Aside from the general amount owed, the FICO scores think about the amount claimed freely on explicit accounts. On the off chance that you utilize a noteworthy part of the credit you are qualified for, it can negatively affect the FICO scores. Be that as it may, utilizing a less amount from as far as possible allowed can give you a superior score than not utilizing the credit by any stretch of the imagination.

You have $140,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000

Beta of portfolio = 1.636

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total amount to be invested = $140,000

Stock                          X       Y

Expected return       14%     10%

Beta                          1.42     1.18

Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%

Now,

let the weight invested n stock X be W

therefore,

Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W

thus,

( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6 %

or

14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%

or

4W = 7.6

or

W = 1.9

Therefore,

weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9

Thus,

Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight

= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )

= - $126,000 i.e short Y

Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)

= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]

= 2.698 - 1.062

= 1.636
