问题如下:
Companies X and Z have the same beginning-of-the-year book value of equity and the same tax rate. The companies have identical transactions throughout the year and report all transactions similarly except for one. Both companies acquire a £300,000 printer with a three-year useful life and a salvage value of £0 on 1 January of the new year. Company X capitalizes the printer and depreciates it on a straight-line basis, and Company Z expenses the printer. The following year-end information is gathered for Company X.
Ending shareholders’ equity: £10,000,000
Tax rate: 25%
Dividends: £0.00
Net income: £750,000
Based on the information given, Company Z’s return on equity using year-end equity will be closest to:
选项:
A. 5.4%.
B. 6.1%.
C. 7.5%.
解释:
B is correct.
Company Z’s return on equity based on year-end equity value will be 6.1%. Company Z will have an additional £200,000 of expenses compared with Company X. Company Z expensed the printer for £300,000 rather than capitalizing the printer and having a depreciation expense of £100,000 like Company X. Company Z’s net income and shareholders’ equity will be £150,000 lower (= £200,000 × 0.75) than that of Company X.
ROE=NI/equity=(750,000-150,000)/(10,000,000-150,000)=600,000/9,850,000=0.61
