Answer:

Debt ÷ Equity = 0.87

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Leverage cost of equity = 14.29%

Pretax cost of debt = 7.23%

Required return on the asset = 11%

So by considering the above information, the formula to compute the firm debt equity ratio is

Return on equity = Return on asset + (Return on assets - cost of debt × Debt ÷ Equity

14.29% = 11% + (11% - 7.23%) × Debt ÷ Equity

14.29% = 11% + 3.77%  × Debt ÷ Equity

14.29% - 11% = 3.77% × Debt ÷ Equity

3.29% = 3.77% × Debt ÷ Equity

So Debt ÷ Equity = 0.87

Bonita Company has a factory machine with a book value of $87,800 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It can be sold for $32
qwelly [4]

Answer: Old machine should be replaced.

Explanation:

The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:

= 624,000 - 524,000

= $100,000

Over a period of 5 years this will be:

= 100,000 * 5

= $500,000

Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:

= 500,000 + 32,000

= $532,000

The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:

= 532,000 - 455,100

= $76,900

<em>Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought. </em>

A production manager is responsible for a production budget and can potentially earn an additional bonus for minimising producti
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The pro side of not listing the 10% would be that until the price reduction becomes official it could be considered just a rumor. The unethical argument for keeping the knowledge that will drop 10% is that the production manager kept from his boss the knowledge that a possible impending reduction could save the company money.
