Your firm has net income of $260 on total sales of $1,160. Costs are $650 and depreciation is $110. The tax rate is 35 percent. The firm does not have interest expenses. What is the operating cash flow?

Recently, the owner of Martha's Wares encountered severe legal problems and is trying to sell her business. The company built a building at a cost of $1,210,000 that is currently appraised at $1,410,000. The equipment originally cost $690,000 and is currently valued at $437,000. The inventory is valued on the balance sheet at $380,000 but has a market value of only one-half of that amount. The owner expects to collect 98 percent of the $210,200 in accounts receivable. The firm has $10,200 in cash and owes a total of $1,410,000. The legal problems are personal and unrelated to the actual business. What is the market value of this firm?

Market value = $1,410,000 (building) + $437,000 + (0.5 × $380,000) + (0.98 × $210,200) + $10,200 - $1,410,000 (amount owed) = $843,196

The SGS Co. had $131,000 in taxable income. Use the rates from Table 2.3.

Taxes = 0.15($50,000) + 0.25($25,000) + 0.34($25,000) + 0.39($131,000 - 100,000) Taxes = $34,340

The tax rates are as shown. Taxable Income Tax Rate $0 - 50,000 15% 50,001 - 75,000 25% 75,001 - 100,000 34% 100,001 - 335,000 39% What is the average tax rate for a firm with taxable income of $129,513?

Taxes paid = 0.15($50,000) + 0.25($75,000 - 50,000) + 0.34($100,000 - 75,000) + 0.39($129,513 - 100,000) = $33,760.07 Average tax rate = $33,760.07 / $129,513 = 26.07%

A firm has net working capital of $590, net fixed assets of $2,336, sales of $7,000, and current liabilities of $900. How many dollars worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets?

Current assets = $590 + $900 = $1,490 Total asset turnover = $7,000 / ($1,490 + $2,336) = 1.83 Sales generated by $1 in total assets = $1 x 1.83 = $1.83

Dimeback Co. has total assets of $9,000,000 and a total asset turnover of 2.40 times. Assume the return on assets is 10 percent. Required: What is its profit margin?

To find the profit margin, we need the net income and sales. We can use the total asset turnover to find the sales and the return on assets to find the net income. Beginning with the total asset turnover, we find sales are: Total asset turnover = Sales / Total assets 2.40 = Sales / $9,000,000 Sales = $21,600,000 And the net income is: ROA = Net income / Total assets 0.10 = Net income / $9,000,000 Net income = $900,000 Now we can find the profit margin which is: Profit margin = Net income / Sales Profit margin = $900,000 / $21,600,000 Profit margin = .0417, or 4.17%

Jiminy Cricket Removal has a profit margin of 10 percent, total asset turnover of 1.10, and ROE of 14.36 percent. Required: What is this firm's debt-equity ratio

We can use the Du Pont identity and solve for the equity multiplier. With the equity multiplier we can find the debt-equity ratio. Doing so we find: ROE = (Profit margin)(Total asset turnover)(Equity multiplier) .1436 = (0.10)(1.10)(Equity multiplier) Equity multiplier = 1.31 Now, using the equation for the equity multiplier, we get: Equity multiplier = 1 + Debt-equity ratio 1.31 = 1 + Debt-equity ratio Debt-equity ratio = .31

If the Baseball Shoppe has an 8 percent ROA and a 25 percent payout ratio, what is its internal growth rate?

We need to calculate the retention ratio to calculate the internal growth rate. The retention ratio is: b = 1 - 0.25 b = 0.75 Now we can use the internal growth rate equation to get: Internal growth rate = (ROA × b) / [1 - (ROA × b)] Internal growth rate = [0.08(0.75)] / [1 - 0.08(0.75)] Internal growth rate = 0.0638 or 6.38%
