Answer:
Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50
Explanation:
In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:
where:
FV = future value
PV = present value
r = interest rate
t = time in years.
Hence the future value is calculated as follows:
1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:
7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07
2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:
Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years
Total Future value earned = $151,018.50

Answer:
LeCompte Corp.
The profit margin that LeCompte Corp. would need in order to achieve the 15% ROE, holding everything else constant is:
A) 7.57%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Assets = $312,900
Common Equity = Assets = $312,900
Sales for the last year = $620,000
Net income after taxes = $24,655
Expected return on equity (ROE) = 15%
ROE (in amount) = $312,900 * 15% = $46,935
Profit margin = Returns on Equity/ Sales * 100
= $46,935/$620,000 * 100
= 7.57%
b) The expected returns on equity in dollars is equal to the net income. Therefore, we can use the ROE to calculate the profit margin. The profit margin expresses the relationship between sales and profit. It shows the profit made from each dollar sales.
