Duffert Industries has total assets of $940,000 and total current liabilities (consisting only of accounts payable and accruals)

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

ROE = 13.04%

ROIC = 7.83%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total assets = $940,000

Total current liabilities = $130,000

Interest rate on its debt = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

The firm's basic earning power ratio = 14%

Debt-to capital rate = 40% = 0.40

Now,

Basis earning power = EBIT ÷ Total Assets

EBIT = Basis earning power × Total assets

= 14% × $940,000

= $131,600

Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity + Total Current Liabilities

$940,000 = Total Debt + Total equity + $130,000

Debt + Equity = $940,000 - $130,000

= $810,000

Debt to capital ratio = Debt ÷ [ Debt + Equity ]

0.40 = Debt ÷ $810,000

Total Debt = $324,000

Thus,

Debt + Equity = $810,000

$324,000 + Equity = $810,000

Equity = $810,000 - $324,000

= $486,000

Interest = 8% of Debt

= 0.08 × $324,000

= $25,920

Taxes = 40% of [ EBIT - Interest ]

= 0.40 × ($131,600 - $25,920 )

= $42,272

Therefore,

ROE = [ EBIT - interest - Taxes ] ÷ Equity

= [$131,600 - $25,920 - $42,272 ] ÷ $486,000

= 0.1304

= 13.04%

ROIC = [ EBIT - interest - Taxes ] ÷ Total capital

= [$131,600 - $25,920 - $42,272 ] ÷ [Debt + Equity]

= [$131,600 - $25,920 - $42,272 ] ÷ $810,000

= 0.0783 = 7.83%

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The direct material quantity variance is $10,800 favourable. (the options in the question are not correct).

Explanation:

The direct materials quantity variance represents a difference between what was actually produced and the standard or idea that should have been produced especially with regards to the use of direct materials.

To calculate material quantity variance

Step 1:Calculate the Standard Usage of Material

Formula= (Actual Units of Finished goods Purchased x Standard Price of Material per unit)

= 4,000 units x 15 Pounds

= 60,000 Pounds

This means the standard material usage is 60,000 pounds

Step 2: Now calculate the Direct Material Quantity Variance

Formula= (Standard Material Usage - Actual Material Usage) x The Standard Price per Unit of Material

= 60,000 pounds (computed in step 1) - 40,000 pounds (given in the question)

= 20,000 pounds x $0.54

=$10,800

Since the standard Material is higher than the actual material usage, it means that the answer is as follows;

The direct material quantity variance is $10,800 favourable.

Kindly note that the multiple options in the question above are for a different set of figures and a different question.
