Answer:

14.29% or higher

Explanation:

Municipal bonds interest rates are tax free. Corporate bond rates however are have tac benefits through tax shield.

The formula for aftertax corporate bond rate = pretax rate(1-tax)

pretax rate = 7% or 0.07 as a decimal

aftertax rate(to be indifferent between the two) = 6% or 0.6

In order to be indifferent, the tax rate would be;

0.07 ( 1- tax ) = 0.06

0.07 - 0.07tax = 0.06

0.07 - 0.06 = 0.07tax

0.01 / 0.07 = tax

tax = 0.1429 or 14.29%

Therefore, Investors with a tax rate of 14.29% or higher would prefer the municipal bond.

irinina [24]

Answer:

Part 1 - ROI

In terms of Margin :

Division Osaka  = 20 %

Division Yokohama  = 14 %

In terms of Turnover :

Division Osaka  = 400 %

Division Yokohama = 200 %

Part 2 - Residual Income

Division Osaka = $182,000

Division Yokohama  = $210,000

Explanation:

<em>Return on investment (ROI) = Divisional Profit Contribution / Assets Employed in the division x 100</em>

In terms of Margin :

Division Osaka = $ 455,000 / $ 2,275,000 x 100 = 20 %

Division Yokohama = $ 1,470,000/ $ 10,500,000 x 100 = 14 %

In terms of Turnover :

Division Osaka = $ 9,100,000 / $ 2,275,000 x 100 = 400 %

Division Yokohama = $ 21,000,000/ $ 10,500,000 x 100 = 200 %

<em>Residual income = Controllable Profit - Cost of Capital Charge on Controllable Investment</em>

Therefore,

Division Osaka = $ 455,000 - $ 2,275,000 x 12 % = $182,000

Division Yokohama = $ 1,470,000  - $ 10,500,000 x 12 % = $210,000

The Green Fiddle has current liabilities of $28,000, sales of $156,900, and cost of goods sold of $62,400. The current ratio is
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 83.53 days.

Explanation:

We would need to calculate the Current Assets as well as the Quick Assets.

Calculating the Current Assets we can use the Current ratio and Current Liabilities as follows,

Current Assets = Current Ratio * Current Liabilities

= 1.22 * 28,000

= $34,160

Then we calculate the Quick Assets which are essentially the most liquid assets being Cash and Cash Equivalents,

= Quick Ratio * Current Liabilities

= 0.71 * 28,000

= $19,880

Inventory will be Current Assets minus Quick Assets because Current Assets include all Current Assets whereas Quick Assets are Cash And Cash Equivalents Current Assets

= 34,160 - 19,880

= $14,280

We can then calculate the Inventory Turnover as,

= Cost of Goods sold / Inventory

= 62,400/14,280

= 4.36974789916 times.

Now we can finally calculate the days of Inventory by dividing the days in a year by the Turnover ratio. We will assume a 365 year.

= 365/4.36974789916

= 83.53 days.

It takes 83.53 days on average does it take to sell the inventory.
