Answer:

-3 million dollars

Explanation:

we have EVA = economic value added

to ge the EVA, we use this formula :

(operating return on the assets - cost of the total capital) multiplied by the total assets

total assets = 100 million

operating return = 12 percent

cost of capital = 15 percent

the EVA = 12% - 15% * 100000000

= -0.03 * 100000000

= -3,000,000 dollars

b. The loss of the value of the shareholder is happening even though the firm is earning ROI that is more than the average firm in the industry.

Answer:

net income increased by $1,537.50

Explanation:

Obviously, the original income statement is missing, so I looked for a similar question:

sales revenue                                 $16,500

COGS                                              <u>($9,300)</u>

Gross profit                                      $7,200

Operating exp.:

  • Administrative $950
  • Depreciation $1,300
  • Shipping $412.50             <u>($2,662.50)</u>

Net income                                 $4,537.50

net income increased by $4,537.50 - $3,000 = $1,537.50

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

b. Buy £1,000,000 forward for $1.50/£.

Explanation:

Let's say for instance, we agree to make purchase of €1,000,000 and then forward for $1.50/€ and we assume that the price turns out to become $1.62/€ in three months time, the expected profit will be $12,000 = €1,000,000 ($1.62 - $1.50)As we can see, answer d looks convincing from an accounting standpoint, but it is wrong because the question asks us to make money with a forward contract, not by holding a particular spot. The correct option should be option b.
