Last year Kruse Corp had $355,000 of assets, $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-assets ratio of 39%.

The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets to $252,500. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same debt ratio (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE?

Answer:

It will improve the ROE by 5.29%  to 18.34% from 13.05%

Explanation:

<u>current values</u>

assets 355,000

sales  403,000

net income 28,250

debt to assets = 39%

debt = assets x 39% =  355,00 x .39 = 138,450

equity = assets - debt = 355,000 - 138,450 = 216,550

<u>Current ROE</u>

net income / own funds (equity)

28,250/216,500 = 0,1304849 = 13.05%

<u>With the proposition of reducing assets to 252,500</u>

debt = assets x 39% =  252,500 x .39 = 98,475

equity = assets - debt = 252,500 - 98,475 = 154,025‬

<u>proposition expected ROE</u>

28,250/154,025 = 0,183411783 = 18.34%

<em>Change in ROE 18.34 - 13.05 = 5.29</em>

aliina [53]
Hey there!

I think you meant to type "value of what you <em>own</em> minus what you owe". Let me know if this assumption isn't correct, though I don't know what the value of what you owe is besides... ya know, what you owe. 

The value of what you own is called you assets. This can include anything of value that you own, particularly your pricier possessions. Think of a vintage family heirloom or a highly–priced article of clothing. Assets, though, includes the value <em>everything</em> that you own that you could possibly put a price tag on if you were certain someone would buy it. 

What you owe is called your liability. This is basically any debt that you owe anyone, whether it be your buddy who footed your lunch bill the other day when you didn't have enough cash or a student loan you used to pay for college. 

Your assets minus your liability is called your net worth. This is basically what you are worth in total. This makes sense, since any debt you owe will be taken out of the amount that you are worth or any money that you have.

Net worth will be your answer. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Answer: b. Access to additional knowledge and expertise.

Explanation:

One of the advantages of opening a limited company be it private or public, is the additional knowledge that the other shareholders would bring on board.

In the case of a private company, the new shareholders would be from various backgrounds and would have knowledge on how to grow the business and in the case of a public company, the Board of Directors are usually drawn from various industries and so will put their experience from those industries into the company thereby giving it an edge.

sleet_krkn [62]
<span>The main assumption that has to be true for Adam Smith's theories to be valid is that everyone is acting in a way that most benefits them and nobody else. Since resources are seen as limited, people are thought to act in ways that most benefit them and nobody else. These assumptions might be valid in many cases, but the concept of charity shows that they are not always the case, and the invisible hand might be guiding people at times, but not always.</span>

Viktor [21]

Answer: Decreasing the money supply

Explanation:

When the Fed reduces money supply, it will remove the amount of excess money that people have to spend in the economy. This will lead to prices reducing because people no longer have a lot of money to spend on products therefore they will demand less goods. This will lead to the Aggregate demand curve shifting to the left. The new intersection with the Aggregate Supply curve will be at a point where prices will be lower and less quantity will be demanded which will signify a drop in the short-run output of the economy.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Moonligh Bay Resorts will report a Non-current liability of $126 million

Explanation:

The question is to determine whether Moonlight Bay Resorts is to report an asset (current or non-current) or a liability (current or non-current) in its December 31st 2021 Balance Sheet

The step is to determine the classification of the items in the balance sheet

This is done as follows

Description                                                                           Amount ($)

Total Deferred Tax liability (168 million + 120 million)        288 million

(Deferred tax liabilities related to

both current and non-current assets)

Total Deferred tax asset (102 million + 60 million)              (162 million)

The net deferred tax liability                                               126 million

Since, under the International Financial Reporting Standards Deferred Tax Liability is a Non-current liability, it means <u>Moonligh Bay Resorts will report a Non-current liability of $126 million</u>
