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%

On average, how much money is expected to be spent per person for halloween this year?.
valina [46]

This Halloween, it's anticipated that each person would spend, on average, $100.45.

Halloween, which is observed annually on October 31st, is also known as All Saints Eve or All Hollow's Eve because it was historically observed to signal the end of the harvest season and the start of the chilly, harsh winters. The night before the new year, according to the Celts, the line between the worlds of the living and the dead fuzzed. Samhain, when Halloween was thought that the spirits of the dead made a comeback to earth, was celebrated on the evening of October 31. The term "spend" is the verb's present-basic form. Second, despite referring to the past tense and past participle of the verb "spend," the term "spent" can also be employed as a verb or an adjective. To disburse cash for the sake of a person, thing, or cause is called spend.
