Answer:
LeCompte Corp.
The profit margin that LeCompte Corp. would need in order to achieve the 15% ROE, holding everything else constant is:
A) 7.57%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets = $312,900
Common Equity = Assets = $312,900
Sales for the last year = $620,000
Net income after taxes = $24,655
Expected return on equity (ROE) = 15%
ROE (in amount) = $312,900 * 15% = $46,935
Profit margin = Returns on Equity/ Sales * 100
= $46,935/$620,000 * 100
= 7.57%
b) The expected returns on equity in dollars is equal to the net income. Therefore, we can use the ROE to calculate the profit margin. The profit margin expresses the relationship between sales and profit. It shows the profit made from each dollar sales.
Answer:
$11881.4
Explanation:
Given :
Future value, FV = $15,000
Interest rate, r = 6%
Period, n = 4 years
Using the Present Value formula :
PV = FV(1 ÷ (1 + r)^n)
15000(1 ÷ (1 + r)^n)
15000(1 ÷ (1 + 0.06)^4)
15000(1 ÷ 1.06^4)
15000(1 ÷ 1.26247696)
15000(0.7920936)
= $11,881.4
The aspect of the SMART goal that is missing is that of TARGET DATE.
SMART goals refers to goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result oriented and Time bound. The aspect of the time bound was not included in the scenario given in the question.
