Explanation / Answer

a) calculate the net income

Net Income = (EBIT - Interest Expenses)*(1-tax rate)

Net Income = (98 - 200*40%*10%) *(1-35%)

Net Income = $ 58.50 Million

b) what is the return in total assets

Return in total assets = Net Income/Total Asset

Return in total assets = 58.50/200

Return in total assets = $ 29.25%

c) what is the return on equity

Equity = 200*60% = $ 120 Million

Return on equity = Net Income/Total Equity

Return on equity = 58.5/120

Return on equity = 48.75%

d) what is the retained earnings

Internal Fund needed = 50*60% = $ 30

As per residual distribution policy

Retained Earning = $ 30 Million

e) the dividends after financing its capital budgeting

Dividends after financing its capital budgeting = 50 - 30

Dividends after financing its capital budgeting = $ 20 Million
