The new CFO thinks that inventories are excessive and could be lowered sufficiently to cause the current ratio to equal the
industry average, 2.75, without affecting either sales or net income. Assuming that inventories are sold off and not
replaced to get the current ratio to the target level, and that the funds generated are used to buy back common stock at
book value, by how much would the ROE change?

113. Last year Hamdi Corp. had sales of $500,000, operating costs of $450,000, and year-end assets (which is equal to
its total invested capital) of $395,000. The debt-to-total-capital ratio was 17%, the interest rate on the debt was 7.5%,
and the firm’s tax rate was 35%. The new CFO wants to see how the ROE would have been affected if the firm had used a
50% debt-to-total-capital ratio. Assume that sales, operating costs, total assets, total invested capital, and the tax rate
would not be affected, but the interest rate would rise to 8.0%. By how much would the ROE change in response to the
change in the capital structure?

114. Quigley Inc. is considering two financial plans for the coming year. Management expects sales to be $300,000,
operating costs to be $265,000, assets (which is equal to its total invested capital) to be $200,000, and its tax rate to be
35%. Under Plan A it would finance the firm using 25% debt and 75% common equity. The interest rate on the debt
would be 8.8%, but under a contract with existing bondholders the TIE ratio would have to be maintained at or above 4.0.
Under Plan B, the maximum debt that met the TIE constraint would be employed. Assuming that sales, operating costs,
assets, total invested capital, the interest rate, and the tax rate would all remain constant, by how much would the ROE
change in response to the change in the capital structure?
