问题如下:
Company M purchased a $500,000 equipment with a 5-year useful life at the beginning of 2016, considering the salvage value is zero. The equipment was capitalized and depreciated on straight-line method. At the end of 2016, ending shareholders’ equity of company M is 15,000,000, the tax rate is 27%, net income is 900,000, no dividend is taken into account. All else equal, if the equipment were expensed rather than capitalized, company M's return on equity at the end of 2016 would be:
选项:
A.
6.3%.
B.
4.1%.
C.
5.6%.
解释:
B is correct.
If the equipment were expensed rather than capitalized, company M’s net income and shareholders’ equity would be $292,000 lower than before: ($500,000-$500,000/5)× (1-27%) = $292,000
为什么对NI的影响是减少了100000*(1-27%);1-27%是为什么
