Laserscope Inc. is trying to determine the best combination of short-term and long-term debt to employ in financing its assets.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Laserscope Inc.

Return on Equity (ROE):

= $1,466,400/$18,000,000 * 100

= 8.15%

Explanation:

a) Laserscope's Return on Equity (ROE) is a financial performance measure, calculated by dividing the net income or Earnings After Tax (EAT) by its total shareholders' equity. It is usually expressed as a percentage. So the above calculation is further multiplied by 100.

b) Data and Calculations:

Current assets = $16

Fixed assets = $20

Total assets = $36

Debt ratio = 50% of $36 million = $18 million

Therefore, Stockholders' equity = 50% (1 - 50%) or $18 million

EBIT = $4.1 million

Short-term debt = $6 million

Long-term debt = $12 million

Interest on short-term debt = $420,000 (7% * $6 million)

Interest on long-term debt = $1,236,000 (10.3% * $12 million)

Total interest expense = $1,656,000

Earnings before interest and taxes = $4,100,000

Interest expense 1,656,000

Earnings before taxes 2,444,000

Company tax (40%) (977,600)

Earnings after taxes (EAT) $1,466,400

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The $5,400 is the amount should Bad Brads BBQ record the equipment.

Explanation:

According to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the amount of asset is recorded at cost or fair market value which ever is lower.

The motive behind this is to present the financial statement in true and fair value rather than mislead values.

Since in the given question, the equipment purchase cost is $5,000 and shipping charges is $400.

So,

The total cost is = Purchase cost + shipping charges

= $5,000 + $400

= $5,400

And, the fair market value is $7,000.

By using the above explanation, the $5400 is the lesser amount than the $7,000.

Hence, the $5,400 is the amount should Bad Brads BBQ record the equipment.
