Answer:
13.44%
Explanation:
Debt to total assets = Total Debt / Total Assets
45% = Total debt / $230,000
Total Debt = $230,000 x 45% = $103,500
As we know
Assets = debt + Equity
$230,000 = $103,500 + Equity
Equity = $230,000 - $103,500 = $126,500
Return on Equity is the measure of financial performance which can be calculated by dividing net income for the year by total shareholder's equity.
Return on equity = Net income for the year / Shareholders equity
ROE = $17,000 / $126,500 = 0.1344 = 13.44%
Answer: B
Explanation:
Budgetary slack is a cushion created in a budget by management to increase the chances of actual performance beating the budget. Budgetary slack can take one of two forms: an underestimate of the amount of income or revenue that will come in over a given amount of time, or an overestimate of the expenses that are to be paid out over the same time period. Budgetary slack is generally frowned upon because the perception is that managers care more about making their numbers to keep their seats and gaming the executive compensation system rather than pushing company performance to its potential. Managers putting a budget together could low-ball revenue projections, pump up estimated expense items, or both to produce numbers that will not be hard to beat for the year. It also provides flexibility for operating under unknown circumstances, such as an extra margin for discretionary expenses in case budget assumptions on inflation are incorrect, or adverse circumstances arise.
Good judgement is important in making decisions when budgeting because they can allow one to predict fairly accurately what the costs will be of a particular project based on one's own experience and of the current prices of supplies and say drilling charge rates and also with an adequate allowance for contingency.
