Answer:

The change in earnings per share due to this capital structure shift will be $0.16.

Explanation:

                                                                     100% equity       equity + debt

projected EBIT                                               $600                  $600

interest expense                                                              (-)                     ($192)

profit before tax                                              $600                  $408

taxes                                                                      (-)                         (-)

earnings to equity holders                   $600                   $408

equity shares outstanding                            500                      300

earnings per share                                           $1.20                     $1.36

The difference in earnings per share  = $1.36 -  $1.20

                                                         = $0.16

Thus, the change in the earnings per share stemming from the adjustment in capital structure will be $0.16.

Scilla [3255]

Answer:

Explanation:

A)

The formula for regression is,

ln(Cell Phone Subscribers) = -820.894 + 0.411704 Year

or,

Percentage of Cell Phone Subscribers = exp(-820.894 + 0.411704 Year)

For the year 2005,

Percentage of Cell Phone Subscribers = exp(-820.894 + 0.411704 * 2005)

= 96.79%

B)

The significance of the slope has a p-value close to 0 (0.000). Hence, the model holds statistical significance and its predictions are very reliable.

This is the story of Goodies Gift Shop in its third year of operation in Small Town USA. Amelia Goodies, the owner, runs the sho
Free_Kalibri [3151]

Answer:

1. The return on investment is 20%

2. The total is $40,000

Explanation:

1. The formula for Return on Investment is defined as Net income from the Investment divided by the investment amount.

The net income mentioned in the question is the after-tax profit of $20,000.

The total amount Amelia invested in Goodies Gift Shop is reflected as owner's equity at $100,000 in the balance sheet for Year 2.

Using the formula: Return on Investment = 20,000/100,000 = 20%

2. We can calculate the projected pre-tax profit as follows: Projected margin minus total overhead = 250K - 200K = $50,000

Thus, the after-tax profit is computed as pre-tax profit multiplied by (1 minus tax rate) = 50K x (1-20%) = $40,000

If the probability is 0.54 that Stock A will increase in value during the next month and the probability is 0.68 that Stock B wi
marusya05 [3091]

Answer:

The likelihood that neither of the stocks will rise is 0.14.

Explanation:

According to the Complement Rule, the combined probabilities of an event and its complement total 1.

Given the probabilities of Stock A or B increasing, to find the likelihood that neither will happen, we need to consider their complements.

The complement for Stock A =1-0.54=0.46

The complement for Stock B =1-0.68=0.32

To calculate the probability of both events not occurring, we multiply these complements.

The probability that neither of these two events occurs is 0.46 x 0.32 = 0.1472‬
