Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
Assuming a company sells 800 units at $16 each, has variable costs of $12 per unit. The after-tax income is $1,200.
<h3>After-tax income</h3>
Using this formula
After-tax income=(Selling units×Selling price)-[(Variable costs×Selling price)+Fixed costs]×(1- tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax income=(800 units× $16 each)-[(800 units × $12 each)+$1200]×(1-.40)
After-tax income=$12,800-($9,600+$1,200)×0.60
After-tax income=$12,800-$10,800×0.60
After-tax income=$2,000×0.60
After-tax income=$1,200
Inconclusion the after-tax income is $1,200.

Answer:
The answer is b. Surpluses drive down prices
Explanation:
If you have a large volume of crops, it would not drive up the price simply because there is not a lot of demand for the crop. In that sense, both c and d (even though d is relevant to the equipment) are incorrect. If there is a lot of surplus, farmers will have to lower their prices in order to sell it. They lose in profit which is why large crop surplus are a problem for farmers.
What you’re talking about is Beta. Beta is the ratio of how much a stock changes relative to the market as a whole (NYSE, NASDAQ)
A Beta of 2.0 means it changes (up/down) twice as much as the general market (Dow, S & P, NAS), such as the twitchy, hyper reactive tech stocks ( FAANG’s and also boom-or-bust Big Oil). In other words, high Standard Deviations.
A Beta of 0.5 means it changes (up/down) half as much as the general market. Sleepy blue chips such as GE, AT&T or power utilities fall in that category. Low Standard Deviations
Most stocks by definition pretty much track the market (Beta 1.0) so there are a lot of those. Middling Standard Deviations
So…it is dictated by your risk tolerance.
