Answer: ROE increases by 56.5% to 102.7%

Explanation:

ROE before capital structure change:

= Net income / Equity

= (Operating income * ( 1 - tax)) / Equity

= (6,000,000 * (1 - 23%)) / 10,000,000

= 46.2%

With new capital structure:

Debt financing = 59% * 10,000,000

= $5,900,000

Interest = 9% * 5,900,000

= $531,000

Net income = (Operating profit - interest) * ( 1 - tax)

= (6,000,000 - 531,000) * ( 1 - 23%)

= $‭4,211,130‬

Return on Equity = ‭4,211,130‬ / ( 10,000,000 - 5,900,000)

= 102.7%

Difference:

= 102.7 - 46.2

= 56.5%

Alma owns fifty shares of common stock in Alpha Corporation. Alma also owns eighty shares of preferred stock in the same corpora
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Given the situation described above, Alma will be able to cast <u>50 votes</u>.

This is because common stock gives voting rights to shareholders. And given that Alma has 50 shares of common stocks. Therefore, he would be able to cast 50 votes.

On the other hand, preferred stocks give no voting rights to shareholders.

However, preferred shareholders have preference over a company's revenue or earnings, which implies that they are paid dividends before common shareholders.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is "50 votes."

A local pizzeria sells 500 large pepperoni pizzas per week at a price of $20 each. Suppose the owner of the pizzeria tells you t
n200080 [17]

Answer:

He will sell 600 pizzas per week if he cuts the price by 10%.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand to change in the price of a product. It calculates the ratio of change in demand and change in price.

Price elasticity of demand = % change in demand / % change in price

-2 = % change in demand / 10%

% Change in in demand = -2 x 10%

% Change in in demand = -20%

Following the law of demand as price decreases the demand of the product increases. So the sale of Pizzas will be increased by 20%.

Current Sale of Pizzas = 500 pizzas

Increase in sales  = 500 x 20% = 100 pizzas

Increased sale = 500 + 100 = 600 pizzas

Why might long-term interest rates go down at the same time that the federal reserve pushes short-term rates up?
mart [117]
<span>Because the federal reserve would want to discourage quick investments or want people to save more money right now. Long term rates would go down because these are well thought out infrastructure projects that are good for the long run.</span>
