Roland Company has a new management team that has developed an operating plan to improve upon last year’s ROE. The new plan would place the debt ratio at 55%, which will result in interest charges of 7,000 per year. EBIT is projected to be 25,000 on sales of 270,000, it expects to have a total asset turnover ration of 3.0, and the average tax rate will be 40%. What does Roland Company expect its return on equity (ROE) to be following the changes?
Pacific Packaging's ROE last year was only 2%, but its management has developed a new operating plan that calls for a debt-to-capital ratio of 60%, which will result in
annual interest charges of $589,000. The firm has no plans to use preferred stock and total assets equal total invested capital. Management projects an EBIT of
$1,824,000 on sales of $19,000,000, and it expects to have a total assets turnover ratio of 3.8. Under these conditions, the tax rate will be 25%. If the changes are.

- Payne 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_forwardThe management of Peerless Fabrics Inc. is considering a change in its capital structure.Currently, Peerless has 100,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $40 each.
