The Diamond Corporation has the following ratios: A0*/S0 = 1.6; L0*/S0 = 0.4; Profit Margin = 0.10; and Dividend Payout Ratio = 0.45, or 45%. Sales last year were $100 million, suppose Diamond’s financial consultants report (1) that the Inventory Turnover Ratio (sales/inventory) is 3, compared with an Industry Average of 4, and (2) that Diamond could reduce inventories and thus raise its Turnover Ratio to 4 without affecting its Sales, Profit Margin, or other Asset Turnover Ratios. A. Under these conditions, use the AFN equation to determine the amount of additional funds Diamond would require during the 1st year if sales grow at a rate of 20% per year. B. Under these conditions, use the AFN equation to determine the amount of additional funds Diamond would require during the 2nd year if sales grow at a rate of 20% per year.

Through a simulation model, the management consultants of ZZZ Corporation estimates that the free cashflows of the to-be-acquired firms is 2,700,000. It’s forecasted operating income growth rate is 4%while its forecasted growth in net income is 5%. ZZZ requires a return on the firm at 22%. Based on those information, what is the value of the firm?
The return on equity was barely 3% but the managers prepared a plan to improve the situation. It requires a 60% ratio of total doubt, which will produce interest charges of $ 300 000 annul. They project an EBIT of $ 1 000 000 on sell of $ 10 000 000 and expect to have a total asset turnover ratio of 2.0 Under such conditions the tax rate will be 34% If changes are made, what will the return on equity be?

Calculate the ROE for a firm if it has a profit margin of 20%, an asset turnover of 2, and an equity multiplier of 1.4. For this calcualtion, if you multiply the numbers as they appear, you do NOT have to convert your final answer and cansimply type it in. So if you were multiplying 10%*1.5*5 = 75, you would simply enter 75 for 75% into BB.
