Explanation:
American Professor Michael Porter (born in 1947) proposed the National Competitive Advantage Theory to give an idea of why some countries achieve success in determined industries compared to others. The theory, in other words, aims to explain nations' competitive advantage and the path to reach it.

Answer:
ROA for 20X1= 10%
Profit margin for 20X1= 5%
Assets turnover= 2
ROA for the coming year= 11.25%
Explanation:
Weber corporation return on assets for 20X1 can be calculated as follows
ROA= Net income/Average total assets × 100
= 2,450,000/24,500,000 × 100
= 0.1 × 100
= 10%
The profit margin can be calculated as follows
= Net income/sales × 100
= 2,450,000/49,000,000 × 100
= 0.05 × 100
= 5%
The assets turnover ratio can be calculated as follows
= Sales/Average Total assets
= 49,000,000/24,500,000
= 2
The company ROA if when the turnover rate for next year is2.25 and the profit margin remain unchanged can be calculated as follows
= profit margin × assets turnover ratio
= 5% × 2.25
= 11.25%
Answer:
By producing the starters the company will save $20,000 per year.
Explanation:
production costs
direct materials $3.10 per unit
direct labor $2.70 per unit
supervision $60,000
depreciation $40,000
variable manufacturing overhead $0.60 per unit
rent $12,000
total production cost $9.20 per unit
The engineer is wrong because he is considering fixed costs like depreciation and rent that should not be included because they are independent on whether this project is approved or not. Once you take away depreciation and rent, the cost per unit will fall by $1.30 [= ($40,000 + $12,000) / 40,000 units].
Since the production cost = $9.20 - $1.30 = $7.90, which is lower than $8.40 which is the purchase cost, the company should start producing the starters at least until its sales bonce back.
By producing the starters the company will save ($8.40 - $7.90) x 40,000 units = $20,000 per year
Answer:
The unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15
Explanation:
For computing the value of unlevered firm, the following formula should be used which is shown below:
Value of levered firm = Earning before interest and taxes × (1 - tax rate) ÷ cost of equity
where,
Earnings before income and taxes are $218,000
Cost of equity is 16.3%
And, the tax rate is 35%
Now put these values on the above formula
So, the value would be equals to
= $218,000 × (1 - 0.35) ÷ 16.3%
= $141,700 ÷ 16.3%
= $869325.15
The other terms like bonds and the annual coupon should not be considered in the computation part because we have to calculate for unlevered firm which only includes equity and the bond is a debt security. Thus, it is irrelevant.
Hence, the unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15
