Raktida is the manager a popular Italian Restaurant on Mott Street. She wants to predict her guest counts for the first week of

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The advantage of recording daily guest counts is that the information is more accurate, and it can help help Raktida to better forecast the number of guests during the current year. It's all about the quality of the information and not just the total data available. Total numbers would have been the same, but the use that could be given to them would be limited. The same applies if instead of weekly guests, the information was for monthly guests. Weekly numbers would be more useful than monthly numbers.

Having daily numbers allows Raktida to forecast a much more accurate serving schedule.

Duffert Industries has total assets of $1,080,000 and total current liabilities (consisting only of accounts payable and accrual

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

ROIC is 9.26%

ROE is 12.63%

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Total assets = $1,080,000

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Debt + Common equity = $1,080,000

D/(D + E) = 0.40

D / ($1,080,000 - 100,000) = 0.40

D = $392,000

Common equity = Total liabilities - Current liabilities - Debt = $1,080,000 - 100,000 - 392,000= $588,000

BEP = 0.15 = EBIT/TA

= EBIT/$1,080,000

Therefore, EBIT = $162,000

In order to calculate the ROIC we would have to make the following calculation:

ROIC = [EBIT(1 – T)]/(D + E) = [$151,200(0.6)]/($392,000 + $588,000) = 9.26%

ROIC is 9.26%

To calculate the ROE we would have to calculate first net income from income statement as follows:

EBIT=$151,200

Less: Interest ($392,000 x 7%) 27,440

EBT= 123,760

Less: Tax 40% 49,504

Net Income= 74,256

Therefore, ROE = NI/E = $74,256/$588,000 = 12.63%

ROE is 12.63%

FCOJ, Inc., a prominent consumer products firm, is debating whether or not to convert its all-equity capital structure to one th

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a. $684

b. $480.6

c. 63 shares

Explanation:

a. The calculation of cash flow under the current capital structure is given below:-

Earning per share = Net income ÷ Shares

= $26,220 ÷ 6,900

= $3.8 per share

Cash flow = Earning per share × Stock shares

=$3.8 × 180 shares

= $684

b. The calculation of cash flow be under the proposed capital structure is given below:-

Value = $59 × 6,900

= $407,100

Under the capital structure suggested the company would collect new debt in the amount of:

Debt = 0.35 × $4071,00

= $142,485

Which means the amount of the repurchased shares will be:-

Shares repurchased = $142,485 ÷ $59

= $2,415

The Company will have to make an interest payment on the new debt under the new capital structure. The net income with the interest payment will be:-

Net income = $26,220 - 0.10 × $142,485

=$11,971.5

This means that the EPS will come under the new capital structure

Earning per share = $11,971.5 ÷ 4,485 shares

= $2.67 per share

Since all profits are paid out as dividends, the shareholder receives:-

Shareholder cash flow = Earning per share × Stock shares

= $2.67 × 180 shares

= $480.6

c. The shareholder would sell 35% of their shareholdings

= Shares × Debt percentage

= 180 × 35%

= 63 shares

Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is av

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Product G Product B

Selling price per unit $120 $160

Variable costs per unit $40 $90

Contribution margin per unit $80 $70

Machine hours per unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours

Max. unit sales per month 600 units 200 units

machine operate 8 hours per day during 22 days per month, total hours of machine work per month = 176

Product G Product B

Machine hours per unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours

Contribution margin per $200 $70

machine hour

number of hours needed to 240 200 440

produce maximum sales in total

Currently the company should only produce Product G, since it is able to produce 440 units per month and that generates a contribution margin of $35,200.

If the company decides to produce in two shifts, then it should produce 600 units of Product G (using 240 machine hours) and use the remaining 112 machine hours to produce 112 units of product B. This will generate a total contribution margin of: $48,000 +$7,840 = $55,840.

The additional contribution margin generated = $55,840 - $35,200 = $20,640, which is higher than the additional costs generated by working in two shifts. The second shift will increase the company's p´profits by $5,640 (= $20,640 - $15,000).
