Firms HL and LL are identical except for their financial leverage ratios and the interest rates they pay on debt. Each has $10 m

illion in invested capital, has $1.5 million of EBIT, and is in the 25% federal-plus-state tax bracket. Firm HL, however, has a debt-to-capital ratio of 55% and pays 11% interest on its debt, whereas LL has a 30% debt-to-capital ratio and pays only 10% interest on its debt. Neither firm uses preferred stock in its capital structure. Calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm.

Answer:

0.1125 or 11.25% for each firm

Explanation:

Given that,

Each has $10 million in invested capital,

$1.5 million of EBIT

25% federal-plus-state tax bracket

ROIC for LL:

= [EBIT × (1 - tax rate)] ÷ invested capital

= [1.5 × (1 - 25%)] ÷ 10

= 0.1125 or 11.25%

ROIC for HL

= [EBIT × (1 - tax rate)] ÷ invested capital

= [1.5 × (1 - 25%)] ÷ 10

= 0.1125 or 11.25%

Therefore, the return on invested capital (ROIC) for each firm is 11.25%

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Answer choice C

Explanation:

To be short and to the point, APR literally just means the percent of the money you owe that will receive interest over the course of the year. If you owe $100 on a credit card with 6% APR, then you'll be charged interest for $6 because it's 6%. Your final yearly payment would end up being $106 since the $6 is tacked on. :)

The 2016 income statements of Leggett & Platt, Inc. report net sales of $3,749.9 million. The balance sheet reports accounts
sergejj [24]

Answer:

option (A) 49 days

Explanation:

Data provided:

Net sales = $3,749.9 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2016 = $486.6 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2015 = $520.2 million

Now,

The duration from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 = 365 days

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\textup{Average accounts receivable}}{\textup{Credit sales}}\times Number of days

or

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\frac{\$486.6 + \$520.2}{2}\textup{million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365

or

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\$\textup{503.4 million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365

or

Days sales outstanding = 48.99 ≈ 49 days

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) 49 days

Which clause protects proceeds from creditors of the beneficiary?
Inga [223]
The answer is spendthrift clause. It is a trust that is produced for the benefit of a person that gives an independent trustee full authority to make decisions as to how the trust funds may be spent for the benefit of the beneficiary. Creditors of the beneficiary usually cannot reach the money in the trust, and the funds are not actually under the control of the beneficiary. Also,  it prevents the beneficiary's reckless spending of benefits.
