Answer:

The answer is A.15.12%.

Explanation:

Please find the below for explanation and calculations:

We have EBIT = Pretax profit /0.7 = Net profit / (0.6 x 0.7) = 0.42 x Net Profit

=> Net profit / Sales = Profit margin =  0.42 x EBIT/ Sales = 0.42 x Return-on-sales = 2.52%;

Leverage ratio = Asset/ Equity = 1.5;

Sales / Asset = asset turn over ratio = 4;

Apply the Dupont model we have:

Return on Equity = Leverage ratio x Profit Margin x Leverage ratio = 2.52% x 1.5 x 4 = 15.12%.

Thus, the answer is A. 15.12%.

The price of cheddar cheese rises from $1 per pound to $2 per pound, and as a result, producers of cheese increase their product
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

the arc price elasticity of supply is \frac{5}{2}

Explanation:

Given:

P1: $1 and Q1 = 5 thousand tons

P2:$2 and Q2 = 55 thousand tons

We need to find:

%ΔQ = \frac{Q2-Q1}{(Q1+Q2)/2} = \frac{55-5}{(55+5)/2} = \frac{5}{3}

%ΔP = \frac{P2-P1}{(P1+P2)/2} = \frac{2-1}{(1+2)/2} = \frac{2}{3}

As we know that, the arc price elasticity of supply :

E = %ΔQ  / %ΔP

<=> E = \frac{5}{3} /\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{2}

Big Valley has a times interest earned ratio that is _________, which indicates that Big Valley has _________ long-term insolven
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

C. 3.91; more

Explanation:

the first part of the question is missing. It involved several aspects of Big Valley including its current and quick ratios, ROE and how they compare to the industry's average (they are generally lower than the industry's average).

This particular question refers to times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = 3.91, and how it compares to the industry's average (it is higher than the industry's average).

Since Big Valley performs poorly against the industry's average when comparing the other 3 metrics, but performs very well in the times interest ratio, it means that Big Valley has a low debt ratio. A low debt ratio results in lower financial leverage and lower interest expense.
