QUESTION: 1819

If a firm's asset turnover were to increase by 10% and the tax rate were to increase from 35% to 40%, leaving all else constant, the resultant change in the firm's ROE equals ________.

-2.3%
-1.9%
+1.5%
-1.1%

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

ROE = Net income/Equity. Using the Extended duPont System, = (EBT/sales)*(sales/total assets)*(total assets/ equity)*(1-tax rate) The asset turnover ratio equals sales/total assets. Therefore, ROE(after)/ROE(before) = [asset turnover(after)/asset turnover(before)*]*[0.6/0.65] = 1.1*0.6/0.65 = 1.015. Thus, the ROE increases by 1.5%.

QUESTION: 1820

New Gestalt, Inc., a software firm had a net income of 1.7 million last year. It has 200,000 common shares and 300,000 convertible bonds with face value of 100 outstanding. The convertible bonds carry a coupon of 4% and can be converted one-for-one. The average stock price last year was 39 and the maximum price was 57. The effective interest rate on the convertible debt is 8%. New Gestalt issued 100,000 preferred shares with face value 100 and a coupon of 5% on March 31st of last year. Assume the convertible bonds are dilutive and that New Gestalt faces a 30% tax rate. Given the above, if New Gestalt had 300,000 warrants with a strike of 36 outstanding instead of the convertible bonds, its Diluted EPS would equal ________.

5.94
5.24
6.62
4.91

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

For Diluted EPS with warrants, numerator = net income - preferred dividends = 1.7 million - 375,000 = 1,325,000. Using the Treasury stock method, the additional shares due to warrant exercise = 300,000*(1 - 36/39) = 23,077. Total number of shares used in Diluted EPS = 200,000 + 23,077 = 223,077. Therefore, Diluted EPS = 1,325,000/223,077 = 5.94.
