Answer:

Desired current asset for current ratio to be 2.5x

=> 2.5*Total current liabilities

=> 2.5*$189,225

=> $473,063

Reduction in equity = Reduction in current assets = Reduction in inventory

= Old Current assets - New current assets

= $1,006,155 - $473,063

= $533,093

New book value of equity = Old book value - Reduction in equity

New book value of equity = $908,280 - $533,093

New book value of equity = $375,188

Change in ROE = ROE now - ROE before

Change in ROE = (Net income / New book value of equity) - (Net income / Old book value of equity)

Change in ROE = (36,000 / 375,188) - (36,000 / 908,280)

Change in ROE = 0.0959519 - 0.0396354

Change in ROE = 0.0563165

Change in ROE = 5.63%

Hence, ROE will increase by 5.63%

Firm's new quick ratio = (Cash + Receivables ) / Current liabilities

Firm's new quick ratio = ($148,770 + $244,035) / $189,225

Firm's new quick ratio = $392,805 / $189,225

Firm's new quick ratio = 2.0758621

Firm's new quick ratio =  2.08

</span><span>The expected number of shoppers who pay by check in year 1 if there is no difference in the proportion of shoppers who pay by check among the three years is 175.

Each year has 500 customers, and its proportion of customers paying in check gradually decreased from 45% to 25%. If there is no difference in proportion, I am assuming that the data is averaged. Thus, (225+175+125) / 3 = 525 / 3 = 175.</span>

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Therefore, the change in total contribution margin is equal to change in net operating income, so there is no change in fixed expenses  and will not be affected.

Explanation:

The computation as per given question is given below:-

Variable cost per unit

= $48 + $65

= $113

Contribution margin per unit

= $240 - $113

= $127

Unit Monthly sales

= 1,500 + 240

= 1,740

Total contribution margin

= 1,740 × $127

= $220,980

Total contribution margin

= 1,500 × $192

= $288,000

So, change in total contribution margin and net operating income

= $288,000 - $220,980

= $67,020

Therefore, the change in total contribution margin is equal to change in net operating income, so there is no change in fixed expenses  and will not be affected.
