Answer: duty not to profit secretly

Explanation: Fiduciary duty could be explained as a legal binding or obligation on an individual, partner or employee who is expected to act in the best interest of another. Fiduciary duty requires transparency and honesty which in most cases is usually attached to financial openness in transactions between clients and service providers. Fiduciary obligation requires that the representative or partner of the service provider deals transparently with the client especially in the best interest of other partners or organization.

If Susan agrees to take Mimms payment, duty not to make secret profit will be breached as the payment is without the consent of Andrusian consulting

Two online magazine companies reported the following in their financial statements: BetterWorth Outdoor Fun 2018 2017 2018 2017
Rudik [331]

Answer:

BetterWorth and Outdoor Fun ROE and P/E Ratio Analysis:

1-a) Computation of 2018 ROE for each company.

ROE = Return on Equity.  It is a percentage of the net income over equity.  It is best to use the average equity, if given two balance sheets.  See explanation for further clarification.

Average Equity = Two balance sheets' equity divided by 2.

BetterWorth's Average Equity = (597,186 + 522,814) / 2 = 560,000

Outdoor Fun's Average Equity = (457,151 + 477,049) / 2 = 467,100

BetterWorth's 2018 ROE = 111,000 / 560,000 x 100 = 19.82%

Outdoor Fun's 2018 ROE = 92,420 / 467,100 x 100 = 19.79%

1-b) BetterWorth's appears to be generating greater returns on stockholders' equity in 2018.  It generated 19.82% as against Outdoor Fun's 19.79%, especially with the use of average equity.

2-a) Computation of 2018 P/E Ratio for each company:

P/E Ratio = Price/Earnings Ratio.  It is expressed as the market price per share divided by earnings per share.

BetterWorth's 2018 P/E Ratio = 54.90 : 3.4 = 16.15 : 1

Outdoor Fun's 2018 P/E Ratio = 33.05 : 2.30 = 14.37 : 1

2-b) Investors appear to value BetterWorth more than Outdoor Fun.  This is because investors are ready to pay 16.15 times more for each unit of the earnings of BetterWorth.  For Outdoor Fun, investors are only willing to pay 14.37 times more for each unit of its earnings.

Explanation:

A) ROE = Return on Equity.  It is expressed as a percentage of net income over average equity.  In the above calculations, we used the average equity.  The reason is this: average equity smoothens the mismatch between the income statement and the balance sheet.

But, what does ROE measure?  It measures a company's management effectiveness in using assets to make profits for shareholders.

Had we used the 2018 equity, Outdoor Fun would have appeared to have performed relatively better than BetterWorth over ROE.

B) P/E ratio relates a company's share price to its earnings.  The P/E ratio shows that the company's stock is overvalued or undervalued.  It depicts investors' confidence or lack of it in the company's ability to produce more or less earnings.  Without earnings expectation, investors cannot price a company's stock highly.  It is therefore a stock valuation tool widely used by financial analysts and investors.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

forward rates are determined by investors' expectations of future interest rates.

Explanation:

The expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates states that forward rates are determined by investors' expectations of future interest rates. It suggests that the predicted holding period rate of return of a bond of "x" number of time is equal to the short-term interest rate irrespective of its maturity.

The Expectations theory gives us the opportunity to predict the future outcome of short-term interest rates based on current long-term interest rates.
