Answer:

No it will not, the statement is incorrect.

Explanation:

if the firm is making a profit, then it means it is growing, so we must determine the firm's growth rate:

firm's growth rate = return on assets (ROA) x (1 - dividends paid)

since we are not given ROA, we must calculate it first:

ROA = net profit x asset turnover =  6% x 2 = 12%

now we go back, firm's growth rate = return on assets (ROA) x (1 - dividends paid) = 12% x (1 - 40%) = 12% x 0.6 = 7.2%

The firm can manage to support an annual growth rate of up to 7.2% before it needs to borrow money or issue new stocks.

exis [7]

Answer: -0.24

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a weighted average of the betas of the individual stocks in it.

The portfolio beta before the replacement is;

= (1.4 * 150,000/375,000) + (0.8 * 50,000/375,000) + ( 1 * 100,000/375,000) + (75,000 * 75,000/375,000)

= 0.56 + 0.11 + 0.27 + 0.24

= 1.17

After the replacement, portfolio beta will be;

=  (0.75 * 150,000/375,000) + (0.8 * 50,000/375,000) + ( 1 * 100,000/375,000) + (75,000 * 75,000/375,000)

= 0.32 + 0.11 + 0.27 + 0.24

= 0.93

The change is therefore;

= 0.93 - 1.17

= -0.24

pochemuha

Based on the information given the desired profit per unit is $0.14 per unit.

First step is to find the unit using this formula

Units=Target sales revenue / Target selling price per unit

Units=$850500 / $4.05

Units =210,000

Second step is to calculate the  desired profit per unit using this formula

Desired profit per unit=Target selling price per unit - (Target costs / Units)

Desired profit per unit=$4.05-($821250 / 210,000)

Desired profit per unit=$4.05- $3.91

Desired profit per unit=$0.14

Inconclusion the desired profit per unit is $0.14 per unit.
