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%

Externalities affect the economic efficiency of a market equilibrium by causing a difference between:________
Cloud [144]

Answer:

D. both a and b.

Explanation:

The marginal cost of production is the marginal private cost. When an individual or a firm spend extra cost for an extra unit of good or service, it is called marginal private cost. The marginal social cost of production is the cost that an entire society pays for the consumption of an extra unit of goods or services.

The extra benefit a consumer gets from the use of extra good is referred to as the marginal private benefit. When there is a change in benefit due to the extra unit of consumption, it is the marginal social benefit. It includes an extra benefit.

The economic efficiency of a market equilibrium deters the marginal private cost and benefit. Externalities affect that market equilibrium.

So, both a and b is the answer.

The Sugar Sweet Company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. The first company charges $3995 to rent
notsponge [240]

For Q1, you have to set these equations equal to each other because it is asking how much of x is necessary to make the same amount of y, so:

3995 + 225.50x = 6500 + 100.25x

solve for x:, and get x=20

so 20 tons of sugar will give the companies the same cost.

For Q2: you need to plug in x=20 into either one of the original equations, and solve for y because this will give you the cost of transportation, so:

y= 3995 + 225.50(20)

y=$8,505 for the total cost

What is the greatest concern with applying new technologies like the cloud in manufacturing?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Theft of intellectual property.

Explanation:

Cloud computing is making hardware, software and data available on demand via a network, often the internet. The cloud stands for a network that, with all the computers connected to it, forms a kind of 'cloud of computers', where the end user does not know how many or which computers the software runs on or where those computers exactly stand. In this way, the user no longer needs to be the owner of the hardware and software used and is therefore not responsible for maintenance. The details of the information technology infrastructure are hidden from view and the user has his own virtual infrastructure, scalable in size and possibilities. The cloud is therefore a technique with which scalable online services can be offered. Without the ability to scale, an online service offered does not relate to cloud computing.
