Question 4
1 out of 1 points
A new firm is developing its business plan. It will require $565,000 of assets,
and it projects $452,800 of sales and $354,300 of operating costs for the first
year. Management is quite sure of these numbers because of contracts with its
customers and suppliers. It can borrow at a rate of 7.5%, but the bank requires
it to have a TIE of at least 4.0, and if the TIE falls below this level the bank will
call in the loan and the firm will go bankrupt. What is the maximum debt ratio
the firm can use? (Hint: Find the maximum dollars of interest, then the debt
that produces that interest, and then the related debt ratio.)

Question 6

Last year Urbana Corp. had $197,500 of assets, $307,500 of sales, $19,575 of
net income, and a debt-to-total-assets ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes a
new computer program will enable it to reduce costs and thus raise net
income to $33,000. Assets, sales, and the debt ratio would not be affected. By
how much would the cost reduction improve the ROE?
Question 7

Bonner Corp.'s sales last year were $415,000, and its year-end total assets
were $355,000. The average firm in the industry has a total assets turnover
ratio (TATO) of 2.4. Bonner's new CFO believes the firm has excess assets that
can be sold so as to bring the TATO down to the industry average without
affecting sales. By how much must the assets be reduced to bring the TATO to
the industry average, holding sales constant?
Question 8

Muscarella Inc. has the following balance sheet and income statement data:
Cash $ 14,000 Accounts payable $ 42,000
Receivables 70,000 Other current liabilities 28,000
Inventories 210,000 Total CL $ 70,000
Total CA $294,000 Long-term debt 70,000
Net fixed assets 126,000 Common equity 280,000
Total assets $420,000 Total liab. and equity $420,000
Sales $280,000
Net income $ 21,000
The new CFO thinks that inventories are excessive and could be lowered
sufficiently to cause the current ratio to equal the industry average, 2.70, without
affecting either sales or net income. Assuming that inventories are sold off and not
replaced to get the current ratio to the target level, and that the funds generated
are used to buy back common stock at book value, by how much would the ROE
change?
Question 9

Last year Altman Corp. had $205,000 of assets, $303,500 of sales, $18,250 of
net income, and a debt-to-total-assets ratio of 41%. The new CFO believes the
firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to
reduce its total assets to $152,500. Sales, costs, and net income would not be
affected, and the firm would maintain the 41% debt ratio. By how much would
the reduction in assets improve the ROE?
