Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

B) stiff fines are not the only way to collect past due corporate taxes

Explanation:

Collecting taxes is not an easy or inexpensive job. The IRS spends billions of dollars in order to collect taxes and the same applies to state taxing entities (at a smaller proportion).

So if state tax official can find a way to collect past due taxes then it should always be a good idea. Everyone loves a discount and corporations probably love discounts more. If the reduction or elimination of fines will make corporations pay their state taxes, then it's a great idea.

It's always better to collect $100 in taxes than to have $200 in past due taxes that aren't collected.

A firm has a net profit/pretax profit ratio of .6, a leverage ratio of 1.5, a pretax profit/EBIT of .7, an asset turnover ratio
Alenkinab [10]

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%.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

This stage extends from birth to the acquisition of the individual's language. Children build step-by-step knowledge and understanding of the world by coordinating experiences (such as sight and hearing) related to physical interaction with objects (such as grabbing and stepping).

The development of the permanence of the object is one of the characteristic achievements of this stage. Object permanence is the child's understanding that objects continue to exist even though he or she cannot perceive them.

Have a nice day!
