Return on Stockholders’ Equity= 0.1305*100

Return on Stockholders’ Equity=13.05%

MULTI-MEDIA INC.

Return on Stockholders’ Equity=$140,000 / 423,000

Return on Stockholders’ Equity= 33.1%

a-2. Based on the above calculation the firm that has the higher return is MULTI-MEDIA INC.

Cable Corporation Multi-Media Inc.

Net income/Sales 9.84% 5.19%

($31,200/317,000=9.84%)

($140,000/2,700,000=5.19%)

Net income/Total assets 7.76% 14.51%

($31,200/402,000=7.76%)

($140,000/965,000=14.51%)

Sales/Total assets .79 times 2.80 times

(317,000/402,000=.79 times

(2,700,000/965,000=2.80 times)

Debt/Total assets 40.55% 56.17%

(163,000/402,000=40.55%)

The present Value of the growing annuity= $1,158,092.68

Explanation:

The present value of the growing annuity is going to be computed as follows:

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

A- annual cash flow- $87,460

g- growth rate - 6.3%

n- number of years =73

r- discount rate - 13.8%

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity as follows.

A/(r-g) = 87,460/(0.138-0.063) =1,166,133.33

(1- (1+g/1+r)^n) = 1- (1.063/1.138)^73 =0.9931

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

166,133.33× 0.9931 = 1,158,092.68

The present Value of the growing annuity= $1,158,092.68

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns states that as we go on employing additional inputs the return or payoff from each unit of input will become smaller or go on declining. This means that after a certain point the total output will start increasing on a decreasing rate as we go on hiring more inputs.

In other words, the marginal product of inputs will go on declining with each additional unit of input employed. As a result after reaching a certain point, the marginal product starts to decline.
