Eskom is not a profitable company recently because the construction of their new power plant led them to not get profit from it for the next years because of the billions of revenue it cannot shoulder. The expenses are just way too big to equal or surpass the projected profit they have. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A. Return on investment on Campbell business = $6,821,100 / $58,300,000 x 100%

= 11.7%

B. Return on investment on Tree cutting business = $1,174,670 / $6,790,000 x 100%

C. Return on new investment on tree cutting business :

i. Only new investment = $434,000 / $2,170,000 x 100%

= 20%

ii. Total new investment = $1,608,670 / $8,960,000

= 18%

Residual income on Campbell business = $6,821,100 - (9.70% x $58,300,000)

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Projected total assets = <u>$10,318 </u>

Projected retained earnings = <u>$4,675.30 </u>

Additional new debt required = <u>$537.70</u>

Explanation:

external financing needed = EFN = [(total assets/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [(total current liabilities/total sales) x ($ Δ sales)] - [profit margin x forecasted sales in $ x (1 - dividend payout ratio)]

total assets = $9,380, projected total assets = $9,380 x 1.1 = $10,318

total sales = $7,800

$ Δ sales = $780

current liabilities = $1,550

profit margin = net income / sales = $410 / $7,800 = 0.052564

forecasted sales = $7,800 x 1.1 = $8,580

dividends payout ratio = dividends / net income = $187 / $410 = 0.4561

EFN = [($9,380/$7,800) x ($780)] - [($1,550/$7,800) x ($780)] - [0.052564 x $8,580 x (1 - 0.4561)]

EFN = $938 - $155 - $245.30 = $537.70

projected retained earnings = current retained earnings - projected net income - projected dividends = $4,430 + $451 - $205.70 = $4,675.30
