Torrid Romance Publishers has total receivables of $3,000, which represents 20 days’ sales. Total assets are $75,000. The firm’s operating profit margin is 5%. Find the firm's ROA and asset turnover ratio.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Assets turnover ratio= 0.73

ROA= 3.65%

Explanation:

Torrid romance publishers have a total receivables of $3,000, it represents a 20 days sales

The total assets is $75,000

The operating profit margin is 5%

= 5/100

= 0.05

The first step is to calculate the total sales

= $3,000×365/20

= $3,000×18.25

= $54,750

The asset turnover ratio can be calculated as follows

= Total sales/Total assets

= $54,750/$75,000

= 0.73

The ROA can be calculated as follows

= Assets turnover ratio×operating profit margin

= 0.73×0.05

= 0.0365×100

= 3.65%

Hence the assets turnover ratio and ROA is 0.73 and 3.65% respectively.

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $1.22  million

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:

Cost of capital -discount rate -

WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd

After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56

WACC = (0.71×3.56 %)  + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %

PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7

PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32

Initial cost = 9.1 million

NPV = 10.32  - 9.1 =  1.22 million

NPV = $1.22  million

In Chow's December 31, 20X3, income statement, the foreign exchange gain is ?

the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4875 = $97,500 on December 10, 20x3

the goods costed €200,000 x 0.4675 = $93,500 on December 31, 20x3

Since the goods were sold FOB shipping point, we have to use the shipping date (December 10) to calculate the original price. By December 31, the price in US dollars had decreased by $4,000 resulting in a foreign exchange gain.

Answer:

Luther Corporation

Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:

1.1 : 1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total Current Assets = $144 million

Total Current Liabilities = $132 million

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $144/$132

= 1.1 : 1

b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million.  The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts.  Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average.  This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.

Answer:

3.8%

Explanation:

There are some important parts missing:

Suppose over the next year Ball has a return of 12.5%, Lowes has a return of 21%, and Abbott Labs has a return of -10%.

We must first determine the weight of each stock in the portfolio:

ABT = ($50 x 200) / $20,000 = 50%LOW = ($30 x 200) / $20,000 = 30%BLL = ($40 x 100) / $20,000 = 20%

the expected return of the portfolio = (ABT x return) + (LOW x return) + (BLL x return) = (50% x -0.1) + (30% x 0.21) + (20% x .125) = -5% + 6.3% + 2.5% = 3.8%

Controllable fixed costs 300,000
Average operating assets 2,500,000
Management is considering the following independent alternative courses of action in 2020 in order to maximize the return on investment for the division.
1. Reduce controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs.
2. Reduce average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin.
3. Increase sales $500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage.
Compute the return on investment for 2019.

Answers

Answer:

The Atlantic Division of Stark Productions Company

Return on Investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100

1. Reduced controllable fixed costs by 10% with no change in sales or variable costs:

Net Income = $530,000 ($500,000 + 30,000)

Return on investment = $530,000/$2,500,000 x 100

= 21.2%

2. Reduced average operating assets by 10% with no change in controllable margin:

Net Income = $500,000 and average operating assets = $2,250,000

Return on Investment = $500,000/$2,250,000 x 100

= 22.22%

3. Increased sales to $4,500,000 with no change in the contribution margin percentage:

Sales                                  $4,500,000

Variable costs                     3,600,000

Contribution                        $900,000

Controllable fixed costs        300,000

Net operating income        $600,000

Average operating assets 2,500,000

Return on Investment = $600,000/$2,500,000 x 100

= 24%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales                                  $4,000,000

Variable costs                     3,200,000

Contribution                        $800,000

Controllable fixed costs        300,000

Net operating income        $500,000

Average operating assets 2,500,000

Return on investment = Net Income/Average operating assets x 100 = $500,000/$2,500,000 x 100 = 20%

Contribution margin ratio = $800,000/$4,000,000 x 100 = 20%

The Atlantic Division's Return on Investment, as a performance measure, evaluates the efficiency of the investment in Atlantic Division.  This ratio is obtained by dividing the returns or benefits of the investment by the cost of the investment, and then multiplying by 100.

For an automobile company, the total overhead applied was $48,000,000 at the end of the year. Actual overhead was $52,850,000. Closing over/under applied overhead into cost of goods sold would cause net income to:

Answers

Answer:

Net income decreased by $4,850,000.

Explanation:

Given total overhead applied = $48000000

The actual overhead = $52850000

Over/under Applied overhead = total overhead applied - Actual overhead at the end of the year.

Over / under Applied overhead = 48000000-52850000

Over / under Applied overhead = -$4850000

From the calculation, it can be seen that the overhead is underapplied therefore when under applied overhead allocated to cost of goods sold then cost of goods sold decreased by $4850000.

What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%

Answers

Answer:

The expected return on stock is 30%

Explanation:

Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio

Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)

Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)

Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60

Growth rate =  0.15

Growth rate =  15%

Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate

Expected return = 15% + 15%

Expected return = 30%

Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%

Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Williamsburg Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $68,830, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.'s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a capital lease, what is the approximate amount of principal reduction recorded when the second lease payment is made in Year 2?

Answers

Answer:

$54,639

Explanation:

the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows

DATA

Annual payments = 68,830

Implicit rate = 8%

Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710

Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )

                                                      Year 1                Year 2

Opening balance                             -                      $177,382(w)

interest                                              -                      $14,191(w)

payments                                      $68,830             $68,830

principal payments                     $68,830              $54,639

closing balance                          $177,382(w)         $122,743

Working

Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment

Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830

Closing balance = $177,382

Interest = closing balance x implicit rate

Interest =  $177,382 x 8%

Interest = $14,190.56

fremont which uses the high-low method reported total cost of $10 per unit its lowest production level, 5000 units. when production tripled to its highest level, the total cost per unit dropped to $5 variable cost per unit

Answers

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimation of   variable cost per unit

                        Units     Total cost

High method  15,000×$5  per units  =$75,000

(5,000*3)=15,000

Low  method  5,000*$10 per units=$50,000

Difference  10,000     $25,000  

Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000

Variable cost per unit=$2.50

Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)

Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50
