With a son headed to college, it would be good if I could cash in some of these options to help pay his expenses. However, my vice president of finance indicates that such an increase is unlikely. The projected profit for the fourth quarter will just about meet the expected earnings per share. There may be ways, though, that I can achieve the desired outcome. First, I can instruct all divisional managers that their preventive maintenance budgets are reduced by 25 percent for the fourth quarter. That should reduce maintenance expenses by approximately $1 million. Second, I can increase the estimated life of the…

Decision makers and analysts look deeply into profitability ratios to identify trends in a company’s profitability. Profitability ratios give insights into both the survivability of a company and the benefits that shareholders receive. Identify which of the following statements are true about profitability ratios. Check all that apply. If a company has a profit margin of 10%, it means that the company earned a net income of $0.10 for each dollar of sales. If a company’s operating margin increases but its profit margin decreases, it could mean that the company paid more in interest or taxes. An increase in the return on assets ratio implies an increase in the assets a firm owns. If a company issues new common shares but its net income does not increase, return on common equity will increase.
