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.

Suppose that a hot dog vendor uses a cart (K) and his time (L) to make and sell hot dogs. The vendor's production function is ,
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

L = 2084.75 W^-0.3

Explanation:

The computation of the demand of the labor is shown below:

At the optimum input

As we know that

MRTS = MPL ÷ MPK = w ÷ r

0.7(K ÷ L)^0.3 ÷ 0.3(L ÷ K)^0.7 = w ÷ 50

7K ÷ 3L = w ÷ 50

K = (3 ÷ 350)wL

Now apply the production function

Q = K^0.3L^0.7

500 = ((3 ÷ 350)wL)^0.3 L^0.7

500 = (3 ÷ 350)^0.3 × w^0.3 × L

L = 2084.75 × w^-0.3.
