iren2701 [21]

Answer: A) Income Summary

A firm has a profit margin of 12 percent; total asset turnover of 0.55 and an equity multiplier of 2.2. What is the firm's ROA a
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

ROA = 6.6%

ROE 14.52%

Explanation:

profit margin = net income / sale = 12%

assets turn over = sales / assets = 0.55

equity mutiplier = assets / equity = 2.2

ROE = return on equity = net income / equity

ROA = return on equity = net income / assets

we use the fraction properties to get ROE and ROA

\frac{income}{sales} \times \frac{sales}{Assets} =\frac{income}{Assets} \\ 0.12 \times 0.55 = 0.066\\

ROA = 6.6%

We apply the same property to get ROE

\frac{income}{assets} \times \frac{assets}{equity} =\frac{income}{equity} \\ 0.066 \times 2.2 = 0.14252\\

ROE = 14.52%

If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept ____________ down payments an
Artemon [7]

Answer:

If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept LOWER down payments and LOWER interest rates, the result will likely be an INCREASE in housing prices

Explanation:

If either interest rates or down payment amounts lower, the quantity demanded for houses will increase a little, possible leading to a small increase in the prices of houses.

If both interest rates and down payment amounts lower, then the quantity demanded for houses should increase a lot, which will result in an increase in the prices of houses.

This happened during the first decade of our century and everything was fine until the interest rates started to increase and people could no longer pay their mortgages and BOOM, the economy busted.

On May 1, Study and Burrow, two college professors, entered into and oral contract under which study agreed to sell his computer
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Check the following explanation

Explanation:

a) Usually a contract has the following elements:

Offer .

Acceptance .

Consideration .

Intention to create a legal relationship .

In the given case, the intention to create a legal relationship is missing. Though Study had sent a written legal contract to Burrow to affirm the contract, Burrow did not show any interest regarding the same. Hence Burrow can’t be sued for breach of contracts. Moreover the confirmation letter sent by Study does not qualify under the Merchant Memo Rule as the involved parties are not merchants. Burrow can use the terms of UCC for his favour. The UCC states that any contract with value more than $500 must be in writing. As the involved amount in this case is $1300, hence this case does not qualify as a contract under UCC.

b) If Study and Burrow were merchants, then the Merchant Memo Rule gets applicable. Then in that case, if 2 merchants enter into an oral contract, which is worth $500 or more and one of the merchant sends a written confirmation for the same, then a contract will be considered enforceable. In such a case, Burrow will be held liable for breach of contract and can be sued by Study.
