Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $270,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of 5.3%, and an equity multiplier of 1.2. The CFO believes that the company could reduce its assets by $51,000 without affecting either sales or costs. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Had it reduced its assets by this amount, and had the debt/total invested capital ratio, sales, and costs remained constant, how much would the ROE have changed

4.04%

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of last year return on equity (ROE)

Last year profit = $270,000 × 5.3% = $14,310.00

Asset/Equity = Equity multiplier

Therefore, we have:

$175,000/Last year equity = 1.2

Last year equity = $175,000/1.2 = $145,833.33

Last year ROE = last year profit/Last year equity = $14,310.00/$145,833.33 = 0.0981 or 9.81%

Step 2: Calculation of ROE when asset is reduced by $51,000

Since profit will not change,  

Profit after asset reduction = Last year profit = $14,310.00

New asset value = $175,000 - $51,000 = $124,000

Therefore, we have:

Equity after asset reduction = $124,000/1.2 = $103,333.33

ROE after asset reduction = $14,310.00/$103,333.33 = 0.1385 or 13.85%

Step 3: Calculation of amount of change in ROE

Change in ROE = ROE after asset reduction - Last year ROE = 13.85% - 9.81% = 4.04%

Conclusion

From the calculations above, ROE would change by 4.04% is the reduced by $51,000 based on the other conditions stated.

employees use applications that are uniformed so that they are able to look over them more quickly because the do not want to spend a long time reading through the applications so they get all the infomation that the are looking for on the application they made so the do not have to read about unnessacary infomaton. so to make it simple it them find the person that they want to hirer faster with out wasting time.
