Answer:

Impact on Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets:

a) A company's Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets will increase due to the 30% increase in sales.  This result will be different with an increase by a similar margin in the Cost of Goods Sold.

b) Net Earnings to Sales and Net Earnings to Total Book Assets will decrease by 30% as a result of the increase in Property, Plant, and Equipment, because this increase also increased the operating and administrative expense (depreciation), even though Sales and Cost of Goods Sold remained constant.

Explanation:

The net earnings to sales is an expression of the ratio of the net income to the sales revenue.  The net earnings result after deducting all costs from sales revenue.  The net earnings to total book assets are the same expression as the Return on Assets.

Assume that the risk-free rate of interest is 6% and the expected rate of return on the market is 16%. A share of stock sells fo
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Price of stock at year end =$53

Explanation:

we first compute the Expected rate of return using the CAPM FORMULAE that

Expected return =risk-free rate + Beta ( Market return - risk free rate)

Expected return=6% + 1.2 ( 16%-6%)

Expected return= 0.06 + 1.2 (10%)

Expected return=0.06+ 0.12

Expected return=0.18

Using the formulae Po= D1 / R-g  to find the growth rate

Where Po= current price of stock at $50

D1= Dividend at $6 at end of year

R = Expected return = 0.18

50= 6/ 0.18-g

50(0.18-g) =6

9-50g=6

50g=9-6

g= 3/50

g=0.06 = 6%

Now that we have gotten the growth rate and expected return, we can now determine the price the investors are expected to sell the stock at the end of year.

Price of stock = D( 1-g) / R-g

= 6( 1+0.06)/ 0.18 -0.06

=6+0.36/0.12

=6.36/0.12=  $53

A bank loaned out ​$19 comma 00019,000​, part of it at the rate of 7 %7% per year and the rest at 15 %15% per year. If the inter
Alla [95]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x be the amount loaned at 7% and ($19,000 - x) be the amount loaned at 15%

Given:

Interest incurred at 7%, I1 + Interest incurred at 15%, I2 = $2000

Interest, I = amount × rate

I1 = 7/100 × x

I2 = 15/100 × ($19,000 - x)

From the above expressions,

(0.07)x + (0.15) × ($19,000 - x) = $2,000

Solving for x,

0.07x + 2850 - 0.15x = 2000

Collecting like terms,

0.08x = 850

x = $10625

The amount loaned at 7% interest is

$10625

The amount loaned at 15% interest is ($19000 - $10625)

= $8375

NPV                   $167,675             $2,267

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                         Machine A        Machine B

Cost of machine                              $565,000         $410,000

Incremental after-tax income            165,000             75,000

Salvage value                                      25,000             26,000

Estimated useful life                           6 years             8 years

Required rate of return                      10%                   10%

Annuity factor                                     4.355                5.335

PV factor                                             0.564                0.467

PV of incremental after-tax income $718,575         $400,125

                                                ($165,000*4.355)   ($75,000*5.335)

PV of salvage value                            $14,100             $12,142

Total PV of income                         $732,675          $412,267

NPV                                                  $167,675             $2,267

= Total PV of income minus PV of initial investment cost
