AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

10.85 percent

Explanation:

Return on equity = 0.045 × 1.60 ×(1 + 0.60) = 0.1152

Sustainable growth = [0.1152 × (1 - 0.15)]/{1 - [.1152 × (1 - 0.15)]} = 10.85 percent

The sustainable growth rate is the rate of growth that a company can expect to see in the long term. Often referred to as G, the sustainable growth rate can be calculated by multiplying a company’s earnings retention rate by its return on equity. The growth rate can be calculated on a historical basis and averaged in order to determine the company’s average growth rate since its inception.

The sustainable growth rate is an indicator of what stage a company is in, during its life cycle. Understanding where a company is in its life cycle is important.

Changes in the prices of key commodities can have a significant impact on a company's bottom line. Energy is an input into virtu
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

B)The cost of energy for a company can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost.

Explanation:

Energy is a fixed cost because it is an utility that companies have to pay regardless of the level of production; they need energy to function.

Energy is a variable cost because energy is an input to production, and the amount of energy used (and hence its cost) can vary a lot depending on how much output is produced. In the question, ethanol is referenced, which is also a type of variable cost, because it is an energy source that depends on another input (corn), and its used as a substitue for gasoline.

Cane company manufactures two products called alpha and beta that sell for $225 and $175, respectively. each product uses only o
tester [92]

Answer:

The special order should be rejected since it decreases net profit.  

Explanation:

Alpha = $225

Beta = $175

total production capacity = 130,000 pounds

raw materials = $6 per pound

Production costs per unit                        Alpha                Beta

direct materials                                          $42                   $24

direct labor                                                 $42                   $32

variable manufacturing overhead            $26                   $24  

fixed manufacturing overhead                 $34                   $37

variable selling expenses                         $31                    $27

<u>common fixed expenses                          $34                   $29  </u>

total cost per unit                                    $209                 $173

Cane expects to sell 114,000 Alphas.

Net profit = (114,000 x $225) - (114,000 x $209) = $25,650,000 - $23,826,000 = $1,824,000

If the new sales order is accepted, Cane's revenue will increase to:

  • 101,000 x $225 = $22,725,000
  • 29,000 x $156 = $4,524,000
  • total = $27,249,000

Their total cost will by:

  • 114,000* x $209 = $23,826,000
  • 16,000 x ($209 - $34 avoidable fixed costs) = $2,800,000
  • total = $26,626,000

*This sale increases the output, but previous costs cannot be avoided.

Net profit with special order = $27,249,000 - $26,626,000 = $623,000

The special order should be rejected since it decreases net profit.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: C. $0

Explanation:

When including initial costs in a project's cash-flow, the relevant costs are those that henceforth will be spent on the project. Sunk costs are not to be included because they have already been incurred and cannot be recovered.

Research and Development costs have already been incurred and so are sunk costs. Hence they are not to be included in the initial cash-flow for the project.
