Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

During the 1990s, several airlines were on the brink of bankruptcy. These same airlines were giving away millions of dollars in
lara [203]

Answer:

Assuming that the elimination of frequent-flyer programs would have enabled the airlines to earn higher profits and remain in business, then it would be a purely good idea for the airlines to eliminate their frequent-flyer programs.

The big question is, how much did the frequent-flyer programs cost the airlines?  Would the cost-savings be sufficient to eliminate their bankruptcies?  It is a known-fact that the airlines that create such programs always recover the program costs by charging higher fares.

Explanation:

The issue of airlines going bankruptcy does not seem to stem from customer-loyalty programs like the frequent-flyer programs.  The root cause lies in operational and other costs that airline managements have not been able to control.
