Answer:

Firms HD has higher ROE than firm LD.

In details, LD's ROE = 15.79%; HD's ROE = 18.20%. So the difference between LD's ROE and HD's ROE is (2.41%) with LD has lower ratio.

Explanation:

*For firm HD:

Value of debt = 200 * 50% = 100; Value of equity = 200 - 100 = 100.  

Interest expenses = 100 * 12% = $12 => EBT = 40 -12 = $28

Net income = EBT*(1 - tax rate) = 28 * (1-35%) = $18.2

ROE = net income / equity = 18.2 / 100 = 18.2% .

*For firm LD:

Value of debt = 200 * 30% = 60; Value of equity = 200 - 60 = 140.

Interest expenses = 60 * 10% = $6 => EBT = 40 -6 = $34

Net income = EBT*(1 - tax rate)  = 34 * (1-35%) = $22.1

ROE = net income / equity = 22.1 / 140 = 15.79%

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Supplier's quotation (2,400 x $6.25)                     150,000

Less: Relevant cost of production:

Direct material (2,400 x $31)                 74,400

Direct labour (2,400 x $18)                    43,200

Variable overhead (2,400 x $9)             <u>21,600</u>       <u>139,200</u>

Savings                                                                       <u> 10,800</u>

The parts should be produced in-house since the relevant cost of production is lower than supplier's quotation.

 Explanation:

In this case, we need to compare supplier's quotation to the relevant cost of production. The price of $6.25 above was computed by dividing the total price charged by the supplier by the number of parts. Moreso, the relevant cost of production is obtained by the aggregate of direct material, direct labour and variable overhead.
