- The Alpha Beta Company is attempting to establish a current assets policy. Fixed assets are $700,000, and the firm plans to maintain a 40% debt-to-assets ratio. Alpha Beta has no operating current liabilities. The interest rate is 12% on all debt. Three alternative current asset policies are under consideration: 30%, 40%, and 70% of projected sales. The company expects to earn 18% before interest and taxes on sales of $5 million. Alpha Beta’s effective federal-plus-state tax rate is 30%. What is the expected return on equity under each asset policy?arrow_forwardGreen Foods currently has $550,000 of equity and is planning an $220,000 expansion to meet increasing demand for its product. The company currently earns $110,000 in net income, and the expansion will yield $55,000 in additional income before any interest expense. The company has three options: (1) do not expand, (2) expand and issue $220,000 in debt that requires payments of 13% annual interest, or (3) expand and raise $220,000 from equity financing. For each option. compute (a) net income and (b) return on equity (Net Income - Equity). Ignore any income tax effects Note: Round "Return on equity" to 1 decimal place. 1 Don't Expand 2 Debt Financing 3 Equity Financing Income before interest expense Interest expense Net income Equity Return on equityarrow_forwardPayne Products had $1.6 million in sales revenues in the most recent year and expects sales growth to be 25% this year. Payne would like to determine the effect of various current assets policies on its financial performance. Payne has $1 million of fixed assets and intends to keep its debt ratio at its historical level of 60%. Payne’s debt interest rate is currently 8%. You are to evaluate three different current asset policies: (1) a restricted policy in which current assets are 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy with 50% of sales tied up in current assets, and (3) a relaxed policy requiring current assets of 60% of sales. Earnings before interest and taxes are expected to be 12% of sales. Payne’s tax rate is 40%. What is the expected return on equity under each current asset level? In this problem, we have assumed that the level of expected sales is independent of current asset policy. Is this a valid assumption? Why or why not? How would the overall risk of the firm vary under each policy?arrow_forward
