110. Last year Jandik Corp. had $250,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $18,750 of net income,
and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37%. Now suppose the new CFO convinces the president to increase the debt-to-total-
capital ratio to 48%. Sales, total assets and total invested capital will not be affected, but interest expenses would increase.
However, the CFO believes that better cost controls would be sufficient to offset the higher interest expense and thus keep
net income unchanged. By how much would the change in the capital structure improve the ROE? Do not round your
intermediate calculations.

111. Last year Kruse Corp had $410,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250
of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and
inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances
using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the
same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE? Do not
round your intermediate calculations.

The new CFO thinks that inventories are excessive and could be lowered sufficiently to cause the current ratio to equal the
industry average, 2.25, 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? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

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 $435,000. 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? Do not round your intermediate calculations.

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 5.0.
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? Do not round your intermediate calculations.
