KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Option E is correct. Pay out ratio is 73.74 %

Explanation:

Payout ratio shows how much portion of the net earning the company pay to its shareholders in form of cash dividend. Higher pay out ratio implies that company pay large portion of its earning to shareholder.

Mathematically, pay out ratio is = 1 - Retention Ratio ------ (a)

Retention ration shows portion of the earning that the company has retained for future investment or operation or growth.

Given data

Growth rate = 5 % or 0.05

Debt to equity ratio = 0.55

Assets turn over = 1.30

Profit Margin = 9 % or 0.09

Retention ration can be calculated from sustainable growth ratio formula.

Sustainable growth rate = Retention ratio x Return on equity

Sustainable growth rate means the growth rate that the company wants to maintain in future.

Retention ratio = Sustainable growth rate / Return on equity ---- (b)

Return on equity is not given the question but it can be calculated from Du Pont equation.

According to Du Pont equation,

Return on Equity = Profit Margin x Assets Turn Over x Financial leverage

Return on Equity = 0.09 x 1.30 x ( 1 + 0.55) = 0.18135

Let r be retention ratio, Then

Sustainable growth rate = (0.18135 x r)/ ( 1- (0.18135 x r))

0.05 = (0.18135 x r)/ ( 1- (0.18135 x r))

r = 0.2626 = Retention ratio

Putting the value of retention ratio in equation (a)

Payout ratio = 1 - Retention ratio = 1 - 0.2626 = 0.7374 or 73.74 %.

A firm wishes to maintain an internal growth rate of 8 percent and a dividend payout ratio of 36 percent. The current profit mar
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

2.16 times

Explanation:

Given that,

Internal growth rate = 8 percent

Dividend payout ratio = 36 percent

Current profit margin = 5.8 percent

Therefore,

Internal Growth Rate = (1 - Dividend Payout Ratio) × ROA

8% = (1 - 36%) × ROA

0.08 = 0.64 × ROA

ROA = 0.08 ÷ 0.64

        = 0.125

ROA = Profit Margin × Total Asset Turnover

0.125 = 0.058 × Total Asset Turnover

Total Asset Turnover = 0.125 ÷ 0.058

                                   = 2.16 times

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a/ 20 days per year on average

b/ The use of road salt to is an effective deicer method. However, it will eventually causes some harmful impact on the environment including but not limited to increasing in water/soild salinity, contamination of public drinking waters, destroy the soild structure and slowly killing of trees and plants. Luckily, there are some other options which are more environment-friendly such as Cheese brine, Sand, Urea, Beet molasses

Explanation:

a/ To evaluate the investment of the new snowplow, denote X is the average amount of saving per a year as the new snowplow is used.

    Consider the average amount of saving as an annuity for the next 12 years, with the discount rate of 14%. The present value (PV) = 45,000 - 2,500/1.14^(-12) =$44,481.1

   Thus, to obtain the rate of return of 14%, PV of the annuity should be equals to $44,481.1 meaning: 44,481.1= (X/14%) x [ 1 - 1.14^(-12)] <=> X = $7858.44

   As one day use would save Ithaca $400, to achieve the targeted saving of $7858.44, the city has to use the snowplow at least 20 days per year ( 7858.44/400)
