Macroeconomics focal point on a few essential  statistics, real GDP, unemployment, and inflation because it is too tough to process all of the data in each market or for every good or service in the economy. By using these three abstract it measures economists can obtain some insight into the health of the economy as a whole.

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%

Trell Corporation transferred $50,000 of accounts receivable to a local bank. The transfer was made
Arlecino [84]

Answer: d. $6,500.

Explanation:

The question makes it seem quite complicated but it's not. In calculating the amount Trell will receive from the factor we do the following,

We take the fair value of Trell's 20% interest of $8,000 and subtract the factoring fee from it.

The factoring fee is,

= 50,000 * 3%

= $1,500

Subtracting it we have,

= 8,000 - 1,500

= $6,500.

Trell will show an amount receivable from factor of $6,500 so option D is correct.

Yvette Bradbury is an account representative at Commerce Savings Bank, earning $45,600 annually, paid semimonthly. She contribut
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

taxable income per pay period = $1,637.50

Explanation:

first we must determine Yvette's pay per period. Since she is paid semimonthly, that means she gets paid twice a month = $42,000 / (12 x 2) = $42,000 / 24 pay periods = $1,750 per pay period

her 401 (k) contributions = $1,750 x 3% = $52.50

her medical premium = $60

taxable income per pay period = $1,750 - $52.50 - $60 = $1,637.50

A company experiences a stock split due to poor performance. Ariana's initial investment
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:  25

Explanation:

Given, A company experiences a stock split due to poor performance. Ariana's initial investment  was a purchase of 50 stocks at $12.99 per share.

Value of her shares = 50 x $12.99

= $649.50

The reverse split is 1:2 means the number of shares split into half but the total value of her shares remains the same.

i.e. Ariana owns  50/2=25 stocks after the stock split.

Hence, Ariana owns 25 stocks after the stock split.

For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes t
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$6.25 per ton of coal

Explanation:

the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs

  • purchase cost = $20 million
  • restoration costs = $6 million

depletion base = $26,000,000

depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal

The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.
