Last year Ann Arbor Corp had $195,000 of assets (which equals total invested capital), $305,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income,

and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes a new computer program will enable it to reduce costs and thus raise net income to $33,000. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Assets, total invested capital, sales, and the debt to capital ratio would not be affected. By how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Question 16 options: 8.85% 10.88% 10.45% 12.37% 10.67%

Answer:

10.67%

Explanation:

For computing the change in ROE first we have to find out the debt and equity values which are shown below:

The debt value = Total invested capital × debt rate

                         = $195,000 × 37.5%

                         = $73,125

And, the equity value = Total assets - debt value

                                   = $195,000 - $73,125

                                   = $121,875

Now we apply the Return on Equity formula which is presented below:

= (Net income ÷ Total equity) × 100

The net income is $20,000 and the equity value would remain the same

So, the ratio would be = ($20,000 ÷ $121,875) × 100 = 16.41%

And if the net income raise to $33,000

Then the new ROE would be = ($33,000 ÷  $121,875)  × 100 = 27.07%

So, the change in ROE

= New ROE - Old ROE

= 27.07% - $16.41%

= 10.67%

Answer:

The journal entry would be:

Explanation:

Note: Options are missing so providing the journal entry.

The journal entry would be for recording the collection of the note is:

October 30

Cash A/c.........................Dr      $10,150

    Interest Revenue A/c.........Cr     $150

    Notes Receivable A/c.........Cr    $10,000

On October 30, the amount is collected so the any increase in cash is debited. Therefore, cash account is debited. And it is collected against a  notes Receivable  of $10,000 so it leads to decrease in liability, it is credited. Therefore, the notes receivable is credited. And the interest revenue is credited.

Explain how a seller can determine whether the demand for his or her good is inelastic, elastic, or unit elastic between two pri
patriot [66]

Answer:

by calculating the elasticity of demand.

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Discuss decision making under conditions of uncertainty, specifically using expected monetary value
IceJOKER [234]

Answer with Explanation:

The decision making under the conditions of uncertainty:

Uncertainty is an unquantifiable outcome of a decision that can not be mathematically modeled whereas risk is a quantifiable outcome of a decision that can be mathematically modeled.

The expected value method helps in decision making related to uncertainty are making prudent estimates of cash flow by using expected value.

Expected value considers every outcome under uncertainty and computes all of the expected value for each outcome. The outcome that gives highest expected value is said to be best case and likewise the outcome that gives lowest expected value is said to be worst case.

Suppose that two projects gives the same expected value, then the decision will be based on the degree of uncertainty which means the project that has lowest uncertainty of returns will be our choice.

The deviation of the expected value from required return on a project can be measured as a Degree of uncertainty that helps in understanding to what extent the return will be not as per the expectation. The Precise Measurement of uncertainty can be calculated by inclusion of standard deviation to estimate expected value of the decision taken.

The expected money value is the monetary value that a particular decision will generate. In expected monetary value the decision is based on the weighted average of best case and worst case. The value derived is average thus the standard deviation would be very low which means that the calculation was precise. Decision trees are used in precise measurement of cash flow related to each expected outcome and deriving a weighted average value.

Division A reported income from operations of $975,000 and total service department charges of $675,000. As a result, a.consolid
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

c.income from operations before service department charges was $1,650,000

Explanation:

We can see from the information in the question, that income from operations and service department charges sum a total of $1,650,000

Gross income before service department charges = $975,000 + $675,000

                                                                                    = $1,650,000
