Answer: Return on sales is calculated based on sales volume and not profit

Explanation:

This can be explained by understanding the scenario; the price that discounters pay is lower than any other channel. Discounters have high variable cost, they only pay $52 for the Russel with 41percent return on sales. They also larger fixed costs than the other channels and the return on sales is calculated based on sales volume and not profit.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The answer is: Gross profit = $2,788

Explanation:

  • Feb. 1         Purchase    110 units     $46 per unit
  • March 14    Purchase    190 units    $48 per unit
  • May 1         Purchase     135 units   $ 50 per unit

312 units were sold at $64 per unit, tax rate is 30%

Using FIFO, what is the company's gross profit? We first calculate COGS

Cost of goods sold - 312 units:

  • 110 units at $46 per unit = $5,060
  • 190 units at $48 per unit = $9,120
  • 60 units at $50 per unit = $3,000

Total COGS = $17,180

<u>Income statement for Hogan Industries 2017</u>

Total revenue         $19,968

<u>COGS                     ($17,180)     </u>

Gross profit             $2,788

<u>Taxes 30%             ($836.40)   </u>  

Net profit                $1,951.60

Suppose that Rearden Metal currently has no debt and has an equity cost of capital of 12%. Rearden is considering borrowing fund
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.

Cost of equity:

= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)

At the beginning, when there was no debt,

WACC = cost of equity = 12 %

Levered cost of equity:

= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5

= 15%

Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.

Touchtech earns revenue when edison purchases 100 shares, even if he purchases them from an existing shareholder.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

A. An increase in the perceived profitability of Touchtech will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to rise.

B. Expectations of a recession that will reduce economy-wide corporate profits will likely cause the value of Edison's shares to decline

Explanation:

The price of the stock changes only because of the changes in the profitability of the firm. If the company is earning lower profits then the prices of the stock will fall and vice versa. So the option A is correct because increase in profitability increases the value of the shares.

So the main thing here is the profitability of the firm which is affected by the recession in the economy because during the recession period the profitability of the firm decreases and so the value of the stock decreases. So the option B is correct

Arada [10]

Answer: Current Price $26.65

Explanation:

Rate of return = 12.5%

dividends = $1.98

Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28

Current price = Pc

R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa

0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc

28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc

-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98

- 1.125Pc = -29.98

 Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889

 Pc = $ 26.65
