A firm has a debt to asset ratio of 75%, $240,000 in debt, and net income of $48,000. Calculate return on equity.
Debt to asset ratio = Debt/ Asset = 75%

Debt = 0.75 Assets

240,000 = 0.75 x Assets

Assets = 240,000 / 0.75

Assets = 320,000

Debt + equity = Assets

240,000 + equity = 320,000

Equity = 320,000 – 240,000

Equity = 80,000

Return on assets = Net income/ equity

= 48,000/ 80,000

= 0.6 or 60%

MG Lighting had sales of 1,000 units at $100 per unit last year. The marketing manager projects a 10 percent decrease in unit volume this year because a 20 percent price increase is needed to pass rising costs through to customers. Returned merchandise will represent 2 percent of total sales. What is your net dollar sales projection for this year?

Sales units projected for this year = 1,000 -1,000 x 10% = 900 units

New selling price = 100 + 100 x 20% = $120

Sales =900 x 120 = $108,000

Sales returns = 108,000 x 2% = 2,160

Net dollars sales = sales - sales returns

= 108,000 - 2,160

= $105,840

If a firm has a break-even point of 20,000 units and the contribution margin on the firm's single product is $3.00 per unit and fixed costs are $60,000, what will the firm's net income be at sales of 30,000 units?

Net Income at sales of 30,000 units:

Contribution (30,000 x 3)90,000

Less Fixed cost-60,000

Net income30,000

Alternatively,

Desired sales = (fixed cost + net income)/ contribution margin per unit

30,000 = (60,000 + net income)/ 3

90,000 = 60,000 + net income

Net income = 90,000 – 60,000 = 30,000
