Pacific Packaging's ROE last year was only 3%, but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-ca

pital ratio of 45%, which will result in annual interest charges of $546,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of $1,344,000 on sales of $14,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 3.2. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 25%. If the changes are made, what will be the company's return on equity?

Answer:

Explanation:

Total asset turnover = Sales/total assets

3.2= 14000000/Total assets

Total assets = 4375000

E/A = 1-D/A = 1-0.45 = 0.55

Equity = E/A*assets = 0.55*4375000=2406250

Net income = (EBIT-interest)*(1-tax rate)

=(1344000-546000)*(1-0.25)=598500

ROE = Net income/total equity

ROE% = 598500/2406250=0.248

ROE% = 24.8

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

8.89%

Explanation:

The answer is 8.89%

Here is how we arrived at this.

Dividend = 1$ times 4

= $4 annually

Then we calculate for the nominal rate of return.

This is equal to dividend / price.

= $4/ $45

= 0.0889

To convert this to percentage

0.089 x 100

= 8.89% is the nominal annual rate of return.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The best evaluation for Kenton's research is C) Poor; he has only researched the monetary costs of the career.

Explanation:

Besides monetary costs to him (which was not all that comprehensive as it didn't include training tools, books, etc) there are also non-monetary costs such as time, hard work, and all the other things he must forego while he is focused on becoming a make-up artist.

The career also comes with its perks and advantages. Kenton's work would have been comprehensive if he researched the benefits as well as the risks, and regulatory requirements where there are any.

Cheers
