Last year Kruse Corp had $410,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net in

come, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Question 2 options: 7.05% 6.69% 6.41% 7.26% 7.82%

Answer:

a. 7.05%

Explanation:

ROE before reduction in assets:

Total assets = $410,000

Debt to total capital ratio = 39%

Equity to total capital ratio = 1 - 39% = 61%

Equity = 410000 * 61% = $250,100

Net Income = $28,250

ROE = Net Income / Equity = 28250 / 250100 = 11.2955%

After reduction in assets:

Total assets = $252,500

Net Income is not affected and is same at = $28,250

Capital structure is same.

New Equity = 252500 * 61% = $154,025

New ROE = 28250 / 154025 = 18.3412%

Improvement in ROE = 18.3412% - 11.2955%

Improvement in ROE = 7.05%

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Anita uses <em>Consumer Price Index (CPI) </em>as the term to describe the change in the price level from year one to year two.

Explanation:

<em>Since Inflation is measured as the rate of change of those prices from 9% in year 1 to 5% in year 2.  The most well-known indicator of inflation is the</em> <em>Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the percentage change in the price of a basket of goods and services consumed by households.</em>

<em>Therefore, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them</em>

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

B. $1,760

Explanation:

Given that:

Liabilities = $400, shares = 40 shares, par value = $1 per share, undervalued building asset = $60, net building amount = $1260

amount of consolidated buildings (net) at date of acquisition = net amount for buildings + amount of undervalued building asset + $400 + ($1.00 x 40 shares)  

amount of consolidated buildings (net) at date of acquisition = $1260 + $60 + $400 + $40 = $1760
