Answer:

2.41%

Explanation:

The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-

Particulars          Firm HD                             Firm LD

Assets $200      Debt ratio 50%            Debt ratio 30%

EBIT $40            Interest rate 12%          Interest rate 10%

Tax rate 35%

Debt                            $100                              $60

Interest                        $12                                  $6

                          ($100 × 12%)                       ($60 × 10%)      

Taxable income         $28                                 $36

                               ($40- $12)                          ($40 - $6)

Net income                $18.2                                $22.1

                       $28 × (1 - 0.35)                     $36 × (1 - 0.35)

Equity                          $100                                $140

                              ($200 - $100)                   ($200 - $60)

ROE                              18.2%                               15.79%

                           ($18.2 ÷ $100)                   ($22.1 ÷ $140)

Taxable income = EBIT - Interest

Net income = Income - Taxable income

Equity = Assets - Debt

ROE = Net income ÷ Equity

Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD

= 18.2% - 15.79%

= 2.41%

So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.

Simora [160]

Answer:

a.

Assets Side

Required Reserves   $10 million        

Excess Reserves   $51 million    

Loans   $70 million

Total $131 million

Liabilities Side

Checkable Deposits   $120 million

Bank Capital   $11 million

Total $131 million  

b. Bank capitalization can be measured with bank Leverage Ratio.

= Capital/Assets

= 11/131

= 8.40%

Bank is considered well capitalized if ratio is above 5% so Oldhat Financial is well capitalized.

c. Risk Weighted Assets = $50 million

Risk weighted capital ratio = 22%

Commercial loans are 100% risk weighted = $ 30 million

Residential mortgages are 50% risk weighted  = $ 20 millions

Total = $50 million.

Risk weighted Capital Ratio = Bank capital / Total risk weighted assets

= 11/50

= 22%

There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to f
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

1. The Cpk of machine 1 would be 0.952

2. The Cpk of machine 2 would be 1.111

3.  I would buy machine 2, because the Cpk value is more than 1.

4. The Cpk would be 2.222

Explanation:

1. In order to calculate the Cpk of machine 1 we would have to use to following formula:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

According to given data:

In machine 1, mean= 48mm

L spec= 46

U spec= 50

Standard deviation sd= 0.7

Therefore, Cpk of machine 1= [0.952;0.952]= 0.952

1. In order to calculate the Cpk of machine 2 we would have to use to following formula:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

According to given data:

In machine 2, mean= 47

L spec= 46

U spec= 50

Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Therefore, Cpk of machine 2= [1.111;3.333]= 1.111

3. If my goal is to be capable, I would buy machine 2, because the Cpk value is more than 1.

4. If you combine the best of both machines to calculate the cpk we to make the following calculation:

Combination specification, mean= 48 and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Therefore, Cpk= [2.222;2.222]= 2.222

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Diversification is a business strategy in which a company enters a field or market different from its core activity. It is a risk management strategy that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio by allocating capital in a way that reduces the exposure to any one particular asset or risk.

Diversification merits strong consideration whenever a single-business company is faced with diminishing market opportunities and stagnating sales in its principal business.

The probability that Mary will win a game is 0.03, so the probability that she will not win is 0.97. If Mary wins, she will be g
valkas [14]

Answer:

Expected value of X = -11.09

Explanation:

Expected profit:

= Probability of winning × Amount she wins

= 0.03 × $180  

= 5.4

Expected loss:

= Probability of loosing × Amount she paid

= 0.97 × $17

= 16.49

Let X be amount of money Mary wins or loses.

E(X) = Expected profit - Expected loss

= 5.4 - 16.49

= -11.09

Expected value of X = -11.09

That is expected value of loss of $11.09
