Answer:

The return on equity for 2017 is 21.46 %

<em>Return on equity = Net Income for the year / Total Shareholders Funds × 100</em>

                            = $822 / ( $2,980 + $850) × 100

                            = 21.4621 or 21.46 %

Note : That Retained earning is part of Owners Investment.

Conclusion :

The return on equity for 2017 is 21.46 %

dangina [55]

Answer:

The Time interest earned ratio is 4.5

Explanation:

Given:

Bonds payable 10% in 2 years                                                   $1000000

Preferred 5% stock $100 par (no change during the year)      300000

Common stock, $50 par (no change during the year)             2000000

Income before income tax for year                                            350000

Income tax for year                                                                     80000

Common dividends paid                                                             50000

Preferred dividends paid                                                             15000

Time interest earned ratio is a measure of how a company is able to pay up its debts based on its income. It is the ratio of earnings before tax and interest to total interest expense.

Interest expense = $1000000 × 10% = $100000 × 0.1 = $100000

Therefore the earnings before tax and interest = Income before income tax for year + Interest expense = $350000 + $100000 = $450000

the earnings before tax and interest = $450000

Time interest earned ratio = earnings before tax and interest / Interest expense  = $450000 / $100000 = 4.5

The Time interest earned ratio =  4.5

Ann [662]

Answer:

hence investor's rate of return is 10.26%

Explanation:

Given data

time = 5 year

rate = 9%

coupon bond = $975

sell bond = $985

at time = 1 year

to find out

investor's rate of return

Coupon payment = 9% of 1000 that is  $90

so that we can say that coupon bond will be

975 = 90 / (1 + r ) + $985 / (1 + r )

rate r = 10.26 %

so

hence investor's rate of return is 10.26%

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Retaliation

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that in addition to his first filing, he is now eligible to also file a Retaliation complaint against his employer. This is a complain that is usually filed when an employer  retaliates by firing an employee who made a discriminatory complaint against them. Which is exactly what happened in this situation since the employee was fired because he filed a complaint with the EEOC because his employer would not accommodate his religious needs.
