Answer:

Savings Ratio = 6.15%

Explanation:

  • To calculate the savings ratio, income statement should be prepared at first.
  1. You should find the Income statement in the picture attached

According to the Income statement Ed and Marta has $200 available for savings after taking out all the expenses.

  • After preparing the Income Statement, now we can calculate the savings ratio by using the formula mentioned below.

Formula: Savings ratio =  \frac{Income available for saving}{Income available for living expenditure\\}

After applying the formula we get:  Savings ratio = \frac{200}{3250}= 0.0615 = 6.15%

Interpretation: As the ratio is about how much income you have for the savings in percentage. It is a great tool to determine weather you can save more or are savings enough, which in turn will help you in future decision making.

Ed and Marta's savings ratio is about 6% which is enough for them and means that they are saving much, although it's not even near to favorable percentage which is 10% but considering their will power to save even 6% is good. Further they should compare this to past savings ratio to get the idea of where they are standing at right now. Even better would be comparing this ratio with their desired savings if they have any in their mind.

Vasudevan Inc. recently reported operating income of $2.75 million, depreciation of $1.20 million, and had a tax rate of 40%. Th
exis [7]

Answer:

Free cash flow = $2.25 million.

Explanation:

We know,

Free cash flow = Operating income ×( 1 - tax rate) + depreciation - net working capital.

Given,

free cash flow = ?

Operating income = $2.75 million

tax rate = 40%.

depreciation = $1.20 million.

net working capital = $0.6 million.

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Free cash flow = [Operating income ×( 1 - tax rate) + depreciation - net working capital] million.

Free cash flow = [$2.75 ×( 1 - 40%) + $1.20 - $0.6] million.

Free cash flow = ($2.75 × 0.6 + $1.20 - $0.6) million.

Free cash flow = ($1.65 + $1.20 - $0.6) million.

Free cash flow = ($2.85 - $0.6) million.

Free cash flow = $2.25 million.

Brown Street Grocers has a cost of equity of 11.8 percent, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.9 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent.
motikmotik

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is  - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%
