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%

One of the likeliest places to be involved in a property-damage only accident is?
sesenic [268]

Place your car in "park."

Defend you against approaching traffic.

When a vehicle collision occurs, it might be stressful, but it's crucial to keep in mind that your safety is always the top priority. Immediately upon being involved in a collision, keep in mind the following advice:

Verify your own health and the health of any passengers.

If you require medical asisstance or can't move your car, call "911" and follow the operator's instructions.

You should relocate to a safe area (such as the closest shoulder, the median, or the rightmost lane of the road) before exiting your car to examine the situation if it is still operational and neither you nor any of your passengers have been hurt.
