Fincher, inc., has a total debt ratio of .82. What is its debt–equity ratio? (do not round intermediate calculations and round y

mario62 [17]

(a) Debt ratio = 0.82

Debt/ Assets = 0.82

Debt/(Debt + Equity) = 0.82

Debt = 0.82Debt + 0.82 Equity

0.18Debt = 0.82 Equity

Equity = 0.18Debt/0.82

Debt/Equity = Debt/(0.18Debt/0.82) = 4.5556

Debt/Equity = 0.82/0.18 =4.5556

Debt-Equity ratio = 4.56 times

(b) Equity Multiple = 1 + Debt-equity ratio

Equity multiplier = 1+4.56 = 5.56

Equity multiplier = 5.56 times

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. For annual implicit cost

= Earning annual salary + earned annual interest

= $80,000 + $500

= $80,500

2. For Annual accounting cost

= Explicit cost

= Direct expenses

= Office rent + rent of equipment + supplies + utilities + salary of a book keeper

= $15,000 + $3,000 + $1,000 + $1,200 + $35,000

= $55,200

3. For economic cost

= Accounting cost + implicit cost

= $55,200 + $80,500

= $135,700

4. For revenue

= Accounting profit + profit

= $55,200 + $50,000

= $105,200

5. For revenue

= Economic cost + profit

= $135,700 + $50,000

= $185,700

Typhanie, a customer service representative with WestComm Wireless Services, was asked by one of her customers if WestComm would

insens350 [35]

Answer:

E. Centralized Authority.

Explanation:

As Typhanie, a customer service representative with WestComm Wireless Services, was asked by one of her customers if WestComm would be interested in joining the chamber of commerce to meet potential customers and increase its contacts in the local business community. Typhanie believes this is a very good idea and approached her manager, Deondre, about becoming a chamber member. Deondre said to Typhanie, "Because the cost of membership is over $500 and you will have to leave the office to attend meetings, I will have to get approval from management above me." WestComm is an example of an organization with centralized authority.

In centralized authority, the decisions are made from the top level management or decisions are made from certain managers. Anyone can't make decisions by his or her own in this kind of management style. This system has many flaws as well. As we have seen here in this case, Typhanie is interested in going to chamber of commerce which definitely will be very good for the organisation but when she approached her manager Deondre, he said he even himself can't decide about it, he has to get the orders from his boss. Although the event can be good for the organisation but centralized decision making has made it almost impossible.
