Answer:

15.79%

Explanation:

The computation of the return on investment is shown below:

Return on investment  = Operating Income ÷  New operating asset base

where,

Operating income is $60,000

And, the new operating asset is

= $500,000 - $120,000

= $380,000

So, the return on investment is

= $60,000 ÷ $380,000

= 15.79%

By dividing the operating income from the new operating asset base we can get the return on investment

Castle State Bank has the following financial information.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Castle State Bank's equity multiplier is 2.2

Explanation:

Total Assets = $2,200

Total Liabilities and Equity = $2200

Net Loans = $1,200

Total Equity = $2,200 - $1,200 = $1,000

Equity multiplier = Total Assets / Total Shareholders Equity

Equity multiplier = 2,200 / $1,000

Equity multiplier = 2.2

Total Assets is equal to Total equity and Liabilities. Total equity and Liabilities includes the balance of Both equity and liabilities. Total equity is calculated by subtracting Total Loans from Total equity and Liabilities.

2. Skip and Peggy are brother and sister and they fight about everything. Skip says that perfectly competitive firms maximize pr
finlep [7]

Answer: They are both right.

Explanation:

Firms in every market will always maximise profit where their Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized. This is therefore no different in a Perfectly competitive market so Skip is correct.

Peggy is also correct however because in a Perfectly Competitive market, the demand curve is perfectly elastic. This creates a situation where the Price, Marginal Revenue and Average Revenue are all the same and represent the demand curve as well.

With the Price being the same as the Marginal Revenue in a Perfectly competitive firm, that means that where the Price equals Marginal Cost is where the Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost as well so indeed perfectly competitive firms maximize profit where price equals marginal cost.

Answer:

Loan Amortization Table is attached with this answer, please find it

Explanation:

First of all we calculate the Loan Payment per period

Loan Payment per year = r ( PV ) / 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n

Loan Payment per year = 0.11 ( (102,049 - 40,000 ) / 1 - ( 1 + 0.11 )^-4

Loan Payment per year = $6,825.39 / 0.341269 = 20,000 per year
