Assume the following relationships for the Caulder Corp.: Sales/Total assets 1.7× Return on assets (ROA) 5.0% Return on equity (ROE) 13.0% Calculate Caulder's profit margin and debt-to-capital ratio assuming the firm uses only debt and common equity, so total assets equal total invested capital. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. Profit margin: % Debt-to-capital ratio: %

Answer:

Profit margin=3%

Debt-to-capital ratio: = 3.8%

Explanation:

Calculations for Profit margin % and Debt-to-capital ratio: %

Calculation for profit margin

Profit margin =.05/1.7

profit margin=0.03*100

profit margin=3%

Calculation for Debt-to-capital ratio using this formula

Debt-to-capital ratio= ROA * (1 / ROE)

Let plug in the formula

Debt-to-capital ratio = .05 * (1 / .013)

Debt-to-capital ratio = .05 *76.92

Debt-to-capital ratio= 3.8%

Therefore: Profit margin=3%

Debt-to-capital ratio = 3.8%

Scenario
You are the marketing analyst for Better Beans Coffee Company, which has nine stores nationwide. The company wants to build two additional stores. Your executive team has decided that rather than expand to new markets, they want Better Beans to begin opening additional stores in existing markets. While this will create cannibalization in the short term, it will create marketing and operating efficiencies as more stores are opened in each city.
As a scrappy and growing startup, Better Beans does not yet have access to complex marketing analytics software. Fortunately, you are an expert at gathering market data from inside and outside the company and crunching accurate numbers with nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet.
You have been tasked with calculating the two best markets for opening an additional store. You have already calculated two things that allow you to estimate the net additional revenue in each market ueafter adding a second store:
Revenue for a second store in each market
The revenue lost from estimated cannibalization at the first store.
Important note: Due to the high investments already made in existing stores, management has specified that any market where cannibalization is 25% or more should be eliminated from consideration.
Ignoring cannibalization rates for now, what two markets have the highest net revenue increases when adding a second store?
A. Dallas and Portland
B. Los Angeles and Orlando
C. Chicago and Dallas
D. Orlando and Dallas
E. Los Angeles and Portland
