Last year Lowell Inc. had a total assets turnover of 1.40 and an equity multiplier of 1.75. Its sales were $295,000 and its net

income was $10,600. The CFO believes that the company could have operated more efficiently, lowered its costs, and increased its net income to $20,850 without changing its sales, assets, or capital structure. Had it cut costs and increased its net income as expected, how much would the ROE have changed

Answer:

ROE would have changed by 8.52%

Explanation:

First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,

ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity

or

ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier

  • Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%

The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.

  • New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
  • The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

gain recognized on sale = $82,300

ordinary gain =  $16,460

capital gain = $65,840

gain is $82,300

Explanation:

given data

purchased a warehouse = $315,000

sold warehouse = $80,000

assumption of a mortgage =  $225,000

deducted = $92,300

solution

first we get here Actual cost of warehouse that is

Actual cost of warehouse = Purchase cost - Depreciation    ..................1

put here value and we get

Actual cost of warehouse  = $315,000 - $92,300

Actual cost of warehouse = $222,700

and  

now we gain recognized on sale that is express as

gain recognized on sale = Sale price of warehouse + mortgage amount - actual cost   ..........................2

put here value and we get

gain recognized on sale = $80,000 +$225,000 - $222,700

gain recognized on sale = $82,300

and

now we get first we get ordinary gain and we know ordinary gain is the 20% of the gain amount

as the tax rate is 20%

so ordinary gain is

ordinary gain = $82,300 × 20%

ordinary gain =  16,460

so here capital gain will be

capital gain = Gain - Ordinary gain  ...................3

put here value  

capital gain = $82,300 - $16,460

capital gain = $65,840

and

when Lynn is a non corporate business than he will have only gain part of  $82,300 because here ordinary gain and capital gain is not recognized under non corporate business

so gain is $82,300
