- CONCEPTUAL: RETURN ON EQUITY Which of the following statements is most correct? (Hint: Work Problem 4-16 before answering 4-17, and consider the solution setup for 4-16 as you think about 4-17.) a. If a firms expected basic earning power (BEP) is constant for all of its assets and exceeds the interest rate on its debt, adding assets and financing them with debt will raise the firms expected return on common equity (ROE). b. The higher a firms tax rate, the lower its BEP ratio, other things held constant. c. The higher the interest rate on a firms debt, the lower its BEP ratio, other things held constant. d. The higher a firms debt ratio, the lower its BEP ratio, other things held constant. e. Statement a is false, but statements b, c, and d are true.arrow_forwardCALCULATING 3Ms COST OF CAPITAL In this chapter, we described how to estimate a companys WACC, which is the weighted average of its costs of debt, preferred stock, and common equity. Most of the data we need to do this can be found from various data sources on the Internet. Here we walk through the steps used to calculate Minnesota Mining Manufacturings (MMM) WACC. 1. As a first step, we need to estimate what percentage of MMMs capital comes from debt, preferred stock, and common equity. This information can be found on the firms latest annual balance sheet. (As of year end 2013, MMM had no preferred stock.) Total debt includes all interest-bearing debt and is the sum of short-term debt and long-term debt. a. Recall that the weights used in the WACC are based on the companys target capital structure. If we assume that the company wants to maintain the same mix of capital that it currently has on its balance sheet, what weights should you use to estimate the WACC for MMM? b. Find MMMs market capitalization, which is the market value of its common equity. Using the sum of its short-term debt and long-term debt from the balance sheet (we assume that the market value of its debt equals its book value) and its market capitalization, recalculate the firms debt and common equity weights to be used in the WACC equation. These weights are approximations of market-value weights. Be sure not to include accruals in the debt calculation.arrow_forwardLooking at Morningstars Profitability ratios, what has happened to Hewlett Packards profit margin (net margin %) over the past 10 years?

(Round to two decimal places.) What is the advantage to using the DuPont system to calculate ROE over the direct calculation of earnings available for common stockholders divided by common stock equity? (Select from the drop-down menus.) Observe the modified DuPont formula (see) and notice that each component can be compared with industry standards to assess the firm's performance. Therefore, the advantage of using the Dupont system is that ROE is broken into three distinct components. Starting at the right we see how has increased assets over the owners' original equity.
