Answer:

C) Return on equity will increase dramatically

Explanation:

Return on equity (ROE) is a profitability ratio and it is calculated using the following formula:

ROE = net income/ shareholders' equity

If shareholders' equity is reduced by 50%, and the net income remains stable, then ROE should double.

For example, net profit = $100, shareholders' equity = $1,000

ROE = $100 / $1,000 = 0.10

If shareholders' equity is reduced by 50%, then the new ROE will be:

ROE = $100 / $500 = 0.20

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Payback period = Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

where,  

Initial investment is $15,000

And, the net cash flow would be

= Year 1 + year 2 + year 3 + year 4

= $5,000 + $5,000 + $5,000 + $5,000

= $20,000

As we see that the net cash flow is recovered in three years that means net cash flows and the initial investment are equal

So,

Payback period would be

= $15,000 ÷ $15,000

= 3 years

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The returns of a capital amount to a compensation rate for depositing the money, to calculate these returns an interest rate is used by which the deposited capital is multiplied, in this case the rate is 4%.

As the money distributed is only the product of interest, then that money is the result of multiplying the capital by the interest rate, to obtain how much money Mr. Jefferson contributed, the reverse process will have to be done.

Answers

let <em>C</em> be the capital, then :

C\times4 \%  = 170500\\C\times\frac{4}{100}= 170500\\C=170500\times\frac{100}{4}\\C=4262500

The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was <em>$4,262,500</em>

b) College course.

Explanation:

Costs/Benefits

                           College Course          Community Course

Cost                              $2,600                         $1,390

Opportunity costs         -2,080                          2,080

Net costs                         $520                        $3,470

Distance to course      0.40 miles                    16 miles

                                  (walking distance)      (driving distance)

Timing of course          Weekday                     Weekend

Number of meetings    16                                 8

b) With the College course option, you will earn $2,080 ($260 * 8) weekdays to offset part of the enrollment cost.  With the Community course option, $2,080 will be lost in opportunity cost, thereby increasing the total costs incurred.  These costs are apart from the driving costs associated with traveling 16 miles to the Community Course at the local library.

Ted dies with assets consisting only of long-term investments. He leaves $5,000,000 to his children and the remainder to his wif
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

B) $9,500, 000

Explanation:

The tax basis for Ted's estate is $9,500,000, ans since it falls under the current federal estate tax exemption($11,400,000), his wife and children do not have to pay any estate taxes.  If Ted's family sells the assets before the six month alternate valuation is effective, then their tax basis will be the same as Ted's estate ($9,500,000).
