To calculate ROE divide Net Profit after Taxes by Stockholder‟s Equity. The calculation determined in 2008 that Berry‟s Bug Blasters had a 3.7% return on Stockholder‟s equity. Calculations Asset Turnovers: Asset turnovers= sales revenue/total assets Asset turnovers= 3,249,580.53/1,932,041.17 Asset Turnovers= 1.68 Profit Margin: = Profitability (net income)/revenue. =493,139.75/ 3,249,580.53 = 6.58% Return on Assets: ROA= Net Income/Total Assets ROA= 493.139.75/1,932,041.17 ROA= 25.52% ROE = Net Profit After Taxes / Stockholders' Equity ROE= 431,811.49/1,625,235.46 ROE=

The formula for gross profit is sales turnover – cost of goods sold. According to business alpha the gross profit was 410,000.
Page 484 has formulas!! 6. When the firms maintains a target leverage ratio, we compute its levered value V^L as the present value of its free cash flows using the WACC, whereas its unlevered value V^U is the present value of its free cash flows using its unlevered cost of capital or pretax WACC. 15.3 Recapitalizing to Capture the Tax Shield 1. when securities are fairly priced, the original shareholders of a firm capture the full benefit of the interest tax shield from an increase in leverage 15.4 Personal
Investment Ratios These are concerned with assessing the returns and performance of shares in the business. Firstly I will calculate the profitability ratios: Profitability = the relationship between profit and the resources employed in earning it. PROFITABILITY RATIOS • Gross Profit Ratio • Net Profit ratio • Return on capital employed • Return on shareholders funds |GROSS PROFIT RATIO | |2008(£m) | |2007(£m) | | | | | | | | | Gross profit x 100 |= |402.5 x 100 | |376.1 x 100
Corporations can acquire a treasury stock by not selling all of the shares of the original stock. By keeping some of the share for the company itself, a treasury stock is created. When a company buys shares of its own stock it will actually increase the value of its stock because the shares will be taken out of the marketplace. By having a treasury stock it also can allow a company to generate cash if it is needed. A treasury stock can affect stockholders because if the company decides to sell the stock then the equity will decrease and the overall assets will also
Marriott Corporation has three major business divisions: Lodging, which included over 360 hotels (as of 1987) and generated 41% of sales and 51% of profits; Contract Services, that provides catering and food services to institutions and corporations, and generated 46% of sales and 33% of profits; and Restaurants, that generated 13% of sales and 16% of profits. Marriott has four key elements of their financial strategy: Manage rather than own hotel assets; Invest in projects that increase shareholder value; Optimize the use of debt in the capital structure; and Repurchase undervalued shares. The company uses discounted cash flow techniques and assigns hurdle rates to new projects to evaluate potential investments, determine the “warranted equity value” for its common shares, and even determine incentive compensation for its employees. In order to invest only in projects that increase shareholder value, Marriott uses the CAMP model to estimate the cost of equity, or the shareholders expected return for equity, for each new project, based on which division the investment would be in. They then develop target leverage ratios and use the WACC to determine the cost of capital for the whole corporation as well as each of the three divisions.
The organization should primarily focus on the incremental cash flow because the incremental cash flow holds a marginal benefit from the project. Depreciation is considered to be an expense item which means that the greater the depreciation, the larger the expense will be to the organization. Therefore, if Caledonia was looking at the project from an accounting profit view, the profit would be much lower than that of the free cash flow. 2. What are the incremental cash flows for the project in years 1 through 5 and how do these cash flows differ from accounting profits or earnings?
Profit Maximization is the process that a firm uses to establish where the best output and price levels are, in order to maximize its return. There are two primary methods that can be used to establish profit maximization. One method is the Marginal Revenue minus the Marginal Cost (MR-MC) method. When utilizing this method economists assume that profit would be at its highest when MR and MC are equal, which denotes that for every item made MP=MR-MC. When / if MR is higher than MC then MP would result in a profit for Company A.
“Another negative factor was a 6.6 percent drop, on an annualized basis, in federal defense spending.” She supports that the decrease in GDP is directly related to the decrease in government spending g which proves how fiscal policy can affect overall economic growth. Monetary policy can be defined as: A central banks changing of the money supply to influence interest rates and assist the economy in achieving price stability, full employment, and economic growth. The article discusses how decline in economic growth can in part be due to uncertainty of interest rates which is directly controlled by the Federal Reserve. The author supports this idea by showing that uncertainty of interest rates has affected business investments and the slowing of the housing
