Answer:

1.46

Explanation:

Given that,

Total Assets value = $12 billion

Tax rate = 25%

Basic earning power (BEP) ratio = 18%

Return on assets (ROA) = 4.25%

Net Earnings:

= Return on assets × Total Assets value

= 4.25% × $12 billion

= $0.51 billion

BEP = EBIT ÷ Total Assets

EBIT = 18% × $12

        = $2.16 billion

Earnings before tax = Net income ÷ (1 - tax)

                                 = $0.51 ÷ (1 - 25% )

                                 = $0.68 billion

Interest Expense = EBIT - EBT

                             = $2.16 - $0.68

                             = $1.48 billion

Times-interest-earned (TIE) ratio:

= EBIT ÷ Interest expense

= $2.16 ÷ $1.48

= 1.46

leonid [27]

Answer:

Decrease by $1

Explanation:

Given:

Old data:

Q0 = 2,000 units

P0 = $20

Total revenue before change = 2,000 x $20 = $40,000

After change in Price.

Q1 = 2,100 units

P1 = $19

Total revenue After change = 2,100 x $19 = $39,900

Computation of Marginal Revenue:

Marginal Revenue = (P1 - P0) / (Q1 - Q0)

= ($39,900 - $40,000) / (2,100 - 2,000)

= -100 / 100

= $(-1)

Marginal revenue will decrease by $1
