General Electric (GE) has earnings per share of $2.98 and dividends per share of $0.35. Its return on assets (ROA) is 14.6% and its return on equity (ROE) is 18.2%. What is its sustainable rate of growth?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

g = 0.1606 or 16.06%

Explanation:

The sustainable growth rate is the growth rate in earning or dividends of a stock that will remain constant in the long run. Such a rate is calculate for an indefinite period of time. The formula to calculate the sustainable growth rate is,

g = RR * ROE

Where,

RR is the retention ratio or (1 - dividend payout ratio)ROE is the return on equity

The dividend per share as a percentage of earnings per share will give us the dividend payout ratio.

Dividend payout ratio = 0.35 / 2.98 = 0.1174 or 11.74%

g = (1 - 11.74%) * 18.2%

g = 0.1606 or 16.06%

Answers

Answer: Hello below is the complete question

A survey of entrepreneurs focused on their job characteristics, work habits, social activities, leisure time, etc. One question put to each entrepreneur was, "What make of car (U.S., Europe, or Japan) do you drive?" The responses (number in each category) for a sample of 100 entrepreneurs are summarized below. The goal of the analysis is to determine if the proportions of entrepreneurs who drive American, European, and Japanese cars differ.

U.S. Europe Japan

40 35 25

In order to determine whether the true proportions in each response category differ, a one-way chi-square analysis should be conducted. Suppose the p-value for the test was calculated to be p=0.1738 . What is the appropriate conclusion to make when testing at α = 0.10?

Answer : The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square  tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738

Explanation:

Data given:

p-value = 0.1738

α = 0.10

sample size = 100

U.S cars = 40,      Europe cars = 35,   Japan cars = 25

The conclusion to be drawn is that We cannot reject the Null hypothesis if we use a one-way chi square analysis because at α = 0.1 from the chi-square  tabulated p-value = 0.584 while the calculated /given p-value is = 0.1738

Describe how the main financial documents of Goodwill are difference to those companies that are ""for profit"".

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Requirement 1:

1. Profit Organization

The aim of profit organization is to maximize the wealth of shareholders by increasing its profits. The owners of the company get dividends and appreciation in the value as a return from the company.

2. Nonprofit Organization

The primary mission of Non-profit organization is to benefit the community by helping them and the earnings generation is not the primary goal of the company. ACCA is an entity that delivers quality education to its students and also earns profit on it but the profit margin kept is as low as possible to keep its operation running. Other examples are Rolex, NGO's, National Health Institutes, etc.

In other words, these institutes are for charitable purpose and their primary objective is not making profits.

Key Difference Between Profit Organization and Non-profit Organization​​​​​

A profit organization's primary objective is to maximize profits whereas the Non profit organizations work for delivering services and products that helps in uplifting the society from their donations.A profit organization is registered as a sole proprietorship or partnership or a corporation. Whereas Non profit organization is registered as a charity club, association of person, trust, corporations, etc.Usually major source of income of Non profit organization comes from donations, government and corporation grants, subscriptions, etc. Whereas the major source of profit organization is income generated from the sale of goods and services. Non profit organization - the major incomes are donation, grant, legacies, subscription, etc.

Requirement 2:

Profit making organization have to publish all financial statements which includes income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity, etc whereas the non profit organization only publishes balance sheet and cash flow statement. If the Non profit organization is involved in selling of products and services then the organization will also have to prepare income statement.

The non profit organization doesn't pays andy dividends as it is a charity firm and all it does is, it spends it money for the welfare of the community. Whereas the profit organization have to retain a share of earned profits and then distributes the remainder to shareholders.

The profit making organization publishes changes in equity statement whereas the charitable firm is not required to publish such things because its primary objective is to spend on the welfare of the community.

An 85-year old risk averse investor is not happy about the minimal return she is earning on her current investments. She is stressed about having enough income because her cost of living has been increasing by more than 10% annually. Her current portfolio composition consists of:

50% Bonds
10% Equities
What changes should you suggest to her portfolio?


A. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 10% (to 30%) and put the released funds in commodities such as gold
B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds
C. Liquidate the entire Money Market Fund allocation and put the released funds in Equities, bringing that allocation up to 50%
D. Liquidate the entire Money Market Fund allocation and put the released funds in U.S. Treasury securities

Answers

Answer:

B. Reduce the Money Market Fund allocation by 30% (to 10%) and put the released funds in AAA-rated corporate bonds

Explanation:

First of all, since the investor is risk averse and cannot afford to lose money on any risky investment, she should change the mix of her investment portfolio but without increasing risks. Corporate bonds that are AAA-rated carry a very low risk and pay a little higher than money market funds. So a small decrease in money market fund assets and an increase in AAA-rated bonds should yield a slightly higher return.

Investing in equities would be too risky and US Treasuries pay even less interests than money market funds.

The federal gas tax has been stuck at 18.4cents¢ a gallon since 1993.​ Today, Americans are driving fewer​ miles, and vehicles have become more​ fuel-efficient. Less gas consumption means less​ gas-tax revenue to repair the​ nation's roads. ​Source: Bloomberg News​, July​ 17, 2014 Would a tax per mile driven by more efficient or less efficient than a tax per gallon of​ gasoline? Which tax would be more​ regressive? Explain your answers.

Answers

Answer:

1. A Tax per mile driven would be more efficient than a tax per gallon of gasoline.

2. A tax per gallon of gasoline is more regressive.  The tax is based on a fixed dollar per gallon since 1993.  instead of being based on a percentage per the price of gasoline per gallon.  With the current rate, the price of gasoline per gallon may even be less than the tax.  One can then ask, "what is the purpose of the tax?"  Is the tax a road tax or a per gallon use tax?

Explanation:

When the federal gas tax remains at 18.4 cents per gallon for a very long period, the tax can be described as regressive as it does not take into consideration the trend that Americans are driving fewer miles, and vehicles have become more fuel-efficient.  This means that the gas tax is not fit for purpose.  If its purpose is to generate revenue for road repairs, then instead of a gallon tax, government should institute a road use tax.

As a firm grows, it must support increases in revenue with new investments in assets. The self-supporting, or sustainable, growth model helps a firm assess how rapidly it can grow, while maintaining a balance between its cash outflows (increases in noncash assets) and inflows (funds resulting from increases in liabilities or equity). Consider the following case of Bohemian Manufacturing Company: Bohemian Manufacturing Company has no debt in its capital structure and has $300,000,000 in assets. Its sales revenues last year were $120,000,000 with a net income of $2,000,000. The company distributed $180,000 as dividends to its shareholders last year. Given the information above, what is Bohemian Manufacturing Company’s sustainable growth rate? 0.0601562% 0.5181384% 0.61% 4.1464268% Which of the following are assumptions of the sustainable (self-supporting) growth model? Check all that apply. The firm maintains a constant net profit margin. The firm’s liabilities and equity must increase at the same rate. The firm pays no dividends. The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.

Answers

Answer:

Sustainable growth rate =  0.67148%

The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity.

Explanation:

Sustainable growth rate = ROE *Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)

When ROE = Net Income / Total Assets

= $2,000,000/$300,000,000

= 0.00667

Plow back Ratio = 1 - (Dividend / Net Income)

= 1 - ($180,000/$2,000,000)

= 1 - 0.09

=0.91

Sustainable growth rate = ROE * Plow back Ratio / (1-ROE * Plow back Ratio)

= 0.00667 * 0.91 / (1 - 0.00667  * 0.91)

= 0.0060697 / 0.9039303

=0.0067148

= 0.67148%

Therefore, the sustainable growth rate is 0.67148%

The firm maintains a constant ratio of liabilities to equity is the correct assumption for the sustainable growth model.

Costs that are capitalized because they are expected to have future value are called product costs; costs that are expensed are called period costs. This classification is important because it affects the amount of costs expensed in the income statement and the amount of costs assigned to inventory on the balance sheet.

A service company has which of the following costs

a. Direct Material
b. Overhead Costs
c. Product Costs
d. Expensed in the period incurred

Answers

Answer:

b. Overhead Costs

d. Expensed in the period incurred

Explanation:

-Direct material refers to the cost of the material used to manufacture a product.

-Overhead costs are the costs related to the operation of the business and they can't be assigned to a good or service.

-Product Costs are the costs to manufacture a product.

-Expensed in the period incurred are the period costs which are costs not related to the production of a good.

According to these definitions, a service company has the following costs: overhead costs and expensed in the period incurred because these are costs that are not related to the creation of a product.

On the other hand, the other options direct material and product costs are not right because these costs are directly related to products.

Answers

Answer: b. be in deficit by at least $50 billion.

Explanation:

The Government budget had been balanced but it will now have to spend $50 billion more than it is making. This will mean that Government expenditure will rise by $50 billion over the tax revenue which will lead to a deficit of the same amount.

These are bonds however meaning that the Government would have to pay interest on the $50 billion. This will push the deficit owed to over $50 billion meaning that the Government would be in deficit of at least $50 billion.

A company makes cat food. Management is considering whether the hard cardboard box for packing a case of canned cat food should be made internally or purchased from another company. The costs of producing the cardboard boxes include:_________.
Variable cost per box $0.39
Total fixed costs of the factory $59,030 per year
Total boxes needed annually 21,962
Quote from the supplier, per box $0.22
