Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $395,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of

5.3%, and an equity multiplier of 1.2. The CFO believes that the company could reduce its assets by $51,000 without affecting either sales or costs. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Had it reduced its assets by this amount, and had the debt/total invested capital ratio, sales, and costs remained constant, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answer: 5.9%

Explanation:

Before:

Equity is calculated as:

= Total Assets / Equity Multiplier

= $ 175,000 / 1.2

= $ 145,833

Therefore, ROE will be:

= (Turnover × Profit Margin) / Equity

= ($ 395,000 × 5.3%) / $ 145,833

= $ 20935 / $145,833

= 0.1436

= 14.36%

After:

New Total Assets will be:

= $ 175,000 - $ 51,000

= $ 124,000

Equity

= Total Assets / Equity Multiplier

= $ 124,000 / 1.2

= $ 103,333

ROE will then be:

= (Turnover × Profit Margin) / Equity

= ($ 395,000 × 5.3%) / $ 103,333

= $ 20935 / $ 103,333

= 0.2026

= 20.26%

Therefore, the change in ROE will be:

= 20.26% - 14.36%

= 5.9%

= 4.035%

Rank the following types of businesses in order of risk to you, with the highest being number 1: partnership, limited partnershi
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  1. Sole Proprietorship
  2. Partnership
  3. Limited Partnership
  4. Limited Liability Company      

Explanation:

Sole Proprietorship is the type of business in which the liability is not limited. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

Partnership is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

Limited Partnership is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable to for compensation if their is still any amount left.

In the case of Limited liability company, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.
