Answer:
casual
Explanation:
Causal analysis, also termed causal analysis, is the study of the links between causes and effects. In order to identify causal link, it is necessary to identify differences in the variables that are believed to trigger the shift in another variables and then calculate the differences in the other.
This form of study is very complicated and the investigator could never be entirely confident that there are hardly any other variables affecting the causal link, particularly when working with the perceptions and motives of individuals. There are also psychological factors far deeper than even the participant might not be conscious of.
The aggregate production function is the relationship that tells us ______, when all other influences on production remain the same. A. how real GDP changes as the quantity of leisure changes B. how real GDP changes as the quantity of labor changes C. how potential GDP changes as the labor market moves from surplus or shortage to equilibrium D. how the real wage rate changes as the quantity of labor changes
Answer:
B. how real GDP changes as the quantity of labor changes.
Explanation:
The aggregated production function is defined as how the total real gross domestic product in the economy depends on the inputs like the machinery, capital, facilities that are used in the production and labour i.e the number of hour that is work done in the entire economy. The production function show the values of the outputs given and relations between the factor of productionIn the statement of activities, depreciation is reported on Group of answer choices Only depreciable capital assets of governmental activities of the government. All depreciable capital assets of the government except infrastructure assets that use the modified approach. Only depreciable capital assets of business-type activities of the government. All depreciable capital assets of the government.
Answer:
All depreciable capital assets of the government.
Explanation:
In Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) rules, the statement of activities refers to the government's or public entity's income statement. It basically lists total revenues minus total expenses. It is divided into 3 categories:
Expenses - all costs incurred including future payments and depreciation accounts (including both governmental and business-type activities). Program revenue - includes all revenues generated from government services, e.g. garbage collection, municipal utilities, or even parking fines. Net cost of services - used for services that cannot support themselves, like schools, parks, emergency services, etc., which must rely on taxes.Suppose that a property owner plans on spending $15,000 per year over the next 5 years on maintenance and repairs. However, if she does not spend this amount, she will not be able to keep rents at market levels, vacancies will increase, and the resale value of the property in 5 years will be lower. Assume that she would lose about $7,000 a year in net income and would realize a loss of $85,000 in lower property value at the time of sale if maintenance is not maintained on the property. Determine the difference between the present value of the cost of maintaining the property and the loss to the owner if the property is not maintained assuming that the owner could earn a 7 percent return on any funds not invested in maintenance and repairs?
Answer:
if the owner doesn't make the repairs, he/she will lose -$74,305 in current money
Explanation:
the present value of the repairs is $15,000
the present value of the losses:
CF1 = -$7,000, PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ = -$7,000 / (1 + 7%) = -$6542CF2 = -$7,000, PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ = -$7,000 / (1 + 7%)² = -$6,114CF3 = -$7,000, PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ = -$7,000 / (1 + 7%)³ = -$5,714CF4 = -$7,000, PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ = -$7,000 / (1 + 7%)⁴ = -$5,340CF5 = -$92,000, PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ = -$92,000 / (1 + 7%)⁵ = -$65,595NPV = $15,000 -$6542 -$6,114 -$5,714 -$5,340 -$65,595 = -$74,305
On September 1, 2017, Banner Co. borrowed $70,000 from the City Bank for five months at 9%. Interest was properly accrued on December 31, 2017. The payment of the note and accrued interest on the due date will cause:
Answer:
Dr Notes payable $70,000
Dr Interest payable $2,100
Dr interest expense $525
Cr Cash ($70,000+$2100+$525) $ 72,625
Explanation:
Firstly on 31 December 2017 ,the interest accrued on the loan should be recognized in the books as follows:
$70,000*9%*4/12=$2100
The accrued interest is debited to interest expense and credited to interest payable.
However,on due date which is 31st January 2018, one month interest must also be recognized $70,000*9%*1/12=$525
The notes payable must debited with the face value in order to cancel out the obligation with cash payment
Company A estimates that it needs 30% of sales in net working capital. In year 1, sales were $1 million and in year 2, sales were $2 million. Associated with the change in net working capital from year 1 to year 2 is a cash:
1) inflow of $300,000.
2) outflow of $300,000.
3) inflow of $600,000.
4) outflow of $600,000.
Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Working capital is current assets minus current liabilities. Working capital is a measure of liquidity. It is a very important metric.
In year 1:
Sales $1,000,000
30% of sales in net working capital is:
0.3 x $1,000,000
$300,0000
In year 2:
Sales $2,000,000
30% of sales in net working capital is:
0.3 x $2,000,000
$600,0000
The change in working capital is:
$600,0000 - $300,0000
= $300,0000
Therefore, company A
needs to make a cash investment (outflow) of $300,000 to increase their net working capital from the sales in Year 1 to Year 2.

Quentin operates an ice cream franchise that has shops throughout the United States. CoolCream Co., the franchisor, supplies the ingredients and formula so that Quentin can create the ice cream in his store and sell it fresh to customers.
This relationship is known as a:
a) chain-style business operation.
b) joint development enterprise.
c) distributorship.
d) manufacturing or processing-plant arrangement.
Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
Arrangement of manufacturing or processing-plant is the one which defines the relationship where the franchisor transmits or shifts to the franchisee for the essential ingredients or for the specifications in order to make the specific product. And then the franchisee will market at the retail or wholesale level as per the standards of the franchisor.
So, in this situation, the franchisor supplies the essential ingredients of the franchisee for his store and then the franchisee sold to customers the ice cream. Therefore, this relationship is regarded as manufacturing or processing-plant arrangement.
On January 1, 2018, Moonbucks, Inc., received $79,380 and agreed to pay $100,000 in 3 years on December 31, 2020. The market rate of interest is 8% compounded annually. For the 2nd year ended December 31, 2019, Interest Expense on this note payable equals _________.
Answer:
Explanation:
Interest expense refers to charges paid for borrowing money. It is the money that a lender charges borrower for borrowing money from him. In the income statement, it represents interest to be paid on borrowings such as bonds, loans, convertible debt or lines of credit. It is calculated as product of the interest rate times the outstanding principal amount of the debt.
Given that:
Moonbooks received $79,380 = principal amount of debt (P)
The interest rate (r) = 8% annually = 0.08.
Interest expense payable for 2018 (first year) = P × r = $79380 × 0.08 = $6350
For the second year i.e 2019 The principal amount of debt = $79380 + $6360 = $85730
Interest expense payable for 2019 (second year) = P × r = $85730 × 0.08 = $6858
"The Interest Expense for the 2nd year ended December 31, 2019, on the note payable is $6,278.40.
To calculate the Interest Expense for the second year, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the future value of the initial investment after 1 year using the market rate of interest.
2. Determine the interest earned during the second year by subtracting the future value after 1 year from the future value after 2 years.
3. The interest earned during the second year is the Interest Expense for Moon bucks, Inc.
Let's perform the calculations:
1. Future Value after 1 year (FV1):
\[ FV1 = P \times (1 + r)^n \]
where \( P \) is the principal amount, \( r \) is the annual interest rate, and \( n \) is the number of years.
For the first year:
\[ P = \$79,380 \]
\[ r = 8\% = 0.08 \]
\[ n = 1 \]
\[ FV1 = \$79,380 \times (1 + 0.08)^1 \]
\[ FV1 = \$79,380 \times 1.08 \]
\[ FV1 = \$85,862.40 \]
2. Future Value after 2 years (FV2):
\[ FV2 = P \times (1 + r)^n \]
For the second year:
\[ P = \$79,380 \]
\[ r = 8\% = 0.08 \]
\[ n = 2 \]
\[ FV2 = \$79,380 \times (1 + 0.08)^2 \]
\[ FV2 = \$79,380 \times 1.1664 \]
\[ FV2 = \$92,539.52 \]
3. Interest for the 2nd year (Interest Expense):
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = FV2 - FV1 \]
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = \$92,539.52 - \$85,862.40 \]
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = \$6,677.12 \]
However, since the interest is compounded annually, we need to calculate the interest for the second year only, not the total interest accumulated over two years. Therefore, we need to calculate the interest on the future value after the first year for the second year.
Interest for the 2nd year (Interest Expense):
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = FV1 \times r \]
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = \$85,862.40 \times 0.08 \]
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = \$6,869.792 \]
Since the question asks for the interest expense for the 2nd year, we need to ensure that we are not including the interest for the 1st year in our calculation. The interest for the 1st year has already been accounted for in the future value after the first year.
Therefore, the Interest Expense for the 2nd year ended December 31, 2019, is $6,869.792. However, to match the given answer, we need to round this to the nearest cent, which gives us $6,870.00. It seems there is a slight discrepancy between the calculated interest and the given answer of $6,278.40. Let's re-evaluate the calculation to ensure accuracy:
The correct calculation for the interest in the second year should be based on the amount at the end of the first year:
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = FV1 \times r \]
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = \$85,862.40 \times 0.08 \]
\[ \text{Interest for 2nd year} = \$6,869.792 \]
After rounding to the nearest cent, the Interest Expense for the 2nd year is $6,870.00.
It appears there was an error in the provided answer. The correct Interest Expense for the 2nd year ended December 31, 2019, is $6,870.00, not $6,278.40."

Pro Corp, a U.S.-based MNC, uses purchasing power parity to forecast the value of the Thai baht (THB), which has a current exchange rate of $0.022. Inflation in the U.S. is expected to be 3% during the next year, while inflation in Thailand is expected to be 10%. Under this scenario, Pro Corp would forecast the value of the baht at the end of the year to be:a.$0.023.b.$0.021.c.$0.020.d.None of the above
Answer:
c. $0.020
Explanation:
The computation of value of the baht is shown below:-
The price of an item today in US is 1 Dollar
The price of an item today in Thailand is 1 ÷ 0.022 baht
So, 1 Baht = 0.022 dollar
1 year after
The price of an item in US=1 × (1 + 3%)
=1.03 dollar
Now, The price of an item in Thailand
= 1 ÷ 0.022 × (1 + 10%) baht
= 1.03 dollar
1 baht = Price of an item in Thailand × 1 Baht ÷ (1 + Thailand expected percentage)
= 1.03 × 0.022 ÷ 1.1
= 0.0206 dollar
or 0.020 dollar
Therefore for computing the value of baht we simply applied the above formula.
In the Proctor Company, indirect labor is budgeted for $24,000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $8,000 at normal capacity of 80,000 direct labor hours. If 90,000 direct labor hours are worked, flexible budget total for these costs is_________.A) $35,000. B) $32,000. C) $36,000. D) $33,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In the Proctor Company, indirect labor is budgeted for $24,000 and factory supervision is budgeted for $8,000 at a normal capacity of 80,000 direct labor hours.
First, we need to calculate the overhead cost per hour:
Overhead cost per hour= (24,000 + 8,000)/80,000= $0.4 per hour
Now, we can calculate the total cost of 90,000 hours.
Overhead cost= 90,000*0.4= $36,000
The flexible budget total for the indirect labor and factory supervision costs for 90,000 direct labor hours would be $36,000.
Explanation:The flexible budget total for the indirect labor and factory supervision costs at the Proctor Company can be calculated using the following formula: (Indirect Labor Budget / Normal Capacity)*Actual Capacity + (Factory Supervision Budget / Normal Capacity)*Actual Capacity.
Using the given figures in the problem, we substitute into the formula to get the new budget totals: ((24000 / 80000) * 90000) + ((8000 / 80000) * 90000). This results in $27000 for indirect labor, and $9000 for factory supervision, for a total of $36,000. So, the correct answer to your problem is option C) $36,000.

Answer:
The answer is:
An unearned subscription has a credit balance of $50,000.
Explanation:
Unearned Subscription Income is the income that has been received but has not been earned. Unearned subscription income is treated as a liability because the customer can decide to terminate the contract at any time and the fund must be repaid to the customer.
Unearned subscription income balance was $150,000
$100,000 worth of magazine has been delivered
So, the remaining balance in the unearned subscription income is now $50,000($150,000 - $100,000)
Because it is a liability and a debit decreases a liability while a credit increases a liability.
With this, unearned subscription has a credit balance of $50,000.
How does newton's law apply to a company's brand? explain, citing at least one example. the bigger the brand the more force it takes to change where it stands such as let's say apple it would take a big hit to knock them down?

Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force, applies to a company's brand by indicating that larger, well-established brands require a significant force to alter their market position, such as Apple.
Newton's first law can be metaphorically applied to a company's brand, suggesting that a strong, established brand like Apple possesses substantial inertia. This brand inertia means it remains dominant and influential unless a significant external force—such as a major scandal, technological failure, or intense competitive pressure—intervenes to disrupt its position.
Brand Inertia:
Established brands like Apple have built substantial market presence and customer loyalty over time.This stability means they are less susceptible to minor market fluctuations and competitive moves.External Forces:
It takes significant events or consistent competitive pressure to challenge and potentially change the position of such a brand.Examples include a major product failure or a groundbreaking innovation from a competitor that redefines market expectations.Apple's strong brand equity and market dominance exemplify how larger brands require substantial external forces to shift their position, illustrating the concept of brand inertia in the context of Newton's first law of motion.

"At Artistic Floral Creations, the non-managerial employees all receive the same pay increase every year. Usually this increase is about 5%, but some years it has been as high as 10% depending on changes in the cost-of-living. Artistic Floral Creations has a _______________ philosophy of compensation."
Answer:
Artistic Floral Creations has a entitlement philosophy of compensation.
Explanation:
A compensation philosophy is simply refers to a formal statement which documents a company's position about the compensation of its employees.
It is an explanation of the reason for employee payment and it creates a framework for consistency. Employers use their compensation philosophy to attract, retain and motivate employees
Entitlement philosophy of compensation therefore assumes that the employees who have worked for another year in a company are entitled to pay increases, regardless of their performance differences. This action is often geared towards a higher job performance, and job satisfaction.
Answer:
Artistic Floral Creations has an entitlement philosophy of compensation.
Explanation:
Entitlement philosophy of compensation is a compensation system that organizes yearly increase in pay for employees as long as they spend another year working for their employers (an organization, firm or company).
In other words, this compensation system assumes that employees who have worked another year deserve an increase in pay. The rate of increase in pay is the same for employees. Similarly, they all get the same bonus pay-out.
According to the record of the registrar's office at a state university, 35% of the students are freshman, 25% are sophomore, 16% are junior and the rest are senior. Among the freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, the portion of students who live in the dormitory are, respectively, 80%, 60%, 30% and 20% If a randomly selected student lives in the dormitory, what is the probability that the student is a freshman (tip: Bayes theorem)? a. 0.331 b 0.439 c. 0.638 : d. 0.532
Answer:
The probability that the student is a freshman is 52.32% If a randomly selected student lives in the dormitory. The right answer is d.
Explanation:
According to the data we have the following:
p(freshman) = 0.35
p(sophomore) = 0.25
p(Junior) = 0.16
p(senior) = 0.24
Also:
p(Dormitory/freshman) = 0.8
p(Dormitory/sophomore) = 0.6
p(Dormitory/Junior) = 0.3
p(Dormitory/Senior) = 0.2
Therefore, to calculate the probability that the student is a freshman If a randomly selected student lives in the dormitory we would habe to use the
Bayes theorem
Hence, p(Freshman/Dormitory) = p(Dormitory/freshman) * p(freshman) / {p(Dormitory/freshman) * p(freshman) + p(Dormitory/sophomore) * p(sophomore) + p(Dormitory/Junior) * p(Junior) + p(Dormitory/Senior) * p(senior)}
= 0.8 * 0.35 / { 0.8*0.35 + 0.6*0.25 + 0.3*0.16 + 0.2 * 0.24}
= 0.28/0.526
= 0.532. The probability that the student is a freshman is 52.32%
Final answer:
Using Bayes' theorem, the probability that a randomly selected student living in the dormitory is a freshman is calculated to be approximately 0.532.
Explanation:
To find the probability that a randomly selected student living in the dormitory is a freshman, we can use Bayes' theorem. Bayes' theorem helps us to reverse conditional probabilities when we know the marginal probabilities and the conditional probabilities in the reverse order.
Let us define the following events:
F: Student is a freshmanS: Student is a sophomoreJ: Student is a juniorSR: Student is a seniorD: Student lives in the dormitoryWe have the probabilities:
P(F) = 0.35P(S) = 0.25P(J) = 0.16P(SR) = 1 - P(F) - P(S) - P(J) = 0.24P(D|F) = 0.80P(D|S) = 0.60P(D|J) = 0.30P(D|SR) = 0.20We want to find P(F|D), the probability a student is a freshman given they live in the dormitory.
Using Bayes' theorem:
P(F|D) = P(D|F) * P(F) / [P(D|F) * P(F) + P(D|S) * P(S) + P(D|J) * P(J) + P(D|SR) * P(SR)]
Substituting the values:
P(F|D) = 0.80 * 0.35 / [0.80 * 0.35 + 0.60 * 0.25 + 0.30 * 0.16 + 0.20 * 0.24] = 0.28 / [0.28 + 0.15 + 0.048 + 0.048] = 0.28 / 0.526 = 0.532 (rounded to three decimal places)
So, the probability that a randomly selected student from the dormitory is a freshman is approximately 0.532. Option d is correct .

Net current receivables 50,000
Merchandise inventory 93,000
Total current liabilities 275,000
A) 0.75B) 0.41C) 0.60D) 0.81
Answer:
B. 0.41
Explanation:
Given that
Cash $22,000
Short-term investments 41,000
Net current receivables 50,000
Merchandise inventory 93,000
Total current liabilities 275,000
Recall that
Acid test ratio = (cash + short term investments + current receivables ) ÷ Total liabilities
ATR = (22000 + 41000 + 50000 ) ÷ 275000
ATR = 113000 ÷ 275000
= 0.4109
= 0.41
Note that, inventories is not added because Acid test ratio also called quick ratio compares current asset with current liabilities and inventories can be difficult to sell in current terms.
Answer:
B) 0.41
Explanation:
acid test ratio formula = (current assets excluding inventory) / current liabilities
current assets excluding inventory = $22,000 (cash) + $41,000 (short term investments) + $50,000 (net current receivables) = $113,000current liabilities = $275,000acid test ratio = $113,000 / $275,000 = 0.41
The acid test ratio measures the company's ability to pay its short term debts.

Nick is a partial owner of Kinsey Electronics and Madison is a partial owner of Goodson Electric. Both Nick and Madison defaulted on personal loans. Madison’s creditors forced her to pay back the loans using money from Goodson Electric, but Nick’s creditors were not allowed to force Kinsey Electronics to pay back Nick’s loans. What is the difference between Nick and Madison?
Answer:
Nick is a partial owner of a corporation, and Madison is a partial owner of a partnership.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the main difference between Nick and Madison is that, Nick is a partial owner of a corporation, and Madison is a partial owner of a partnership. This is because a company acts as one entity, therefore the loan is responsibility of all involved and therefore they cannot force Nick to pay back the loans. While in a partnership each individual or owner has their own responsibilities and can be held accountable.
Nick and Madison's circumstances imply different business structures, with Nick possibly part of a corporation or LLC, protecting him from personal liability for business debts, while Madison's situation suggests personal liability for Goodson Electric's debts.
Explanation:The difference between Nick and Madison's situations suggests a distinction in their business structures or ownership responsibilities. When creditors couldn't force Kinsey Electronics to pay back Nick's personal loans, it indicates that Kinsey Electronics is likely a separate legal entity, which would mean Nick is not personally liable for the company's debts. This is commonly the case with corporations or limited liability companies (LLCs). On the other hand, Madison's creditors forcing her to use money from Goodson Electric to pay back her loans suggests Goodson Electric may not have that separate legal entity status, or it could be a sole proprietorship or partnership where personal liability for business debts is not protected.
The unemployment rate of: a. teenagers is much higher than that of adults. b. women greatly exceeds that of men. c. whites is roughly equal to that of African-Americans. d. managerial and professional workers exceeds that of construction and extraction workers.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Teenagers are more vulnerable than adults. Compared to adults they have less job experience, an employer is likely to always go for the employee with work experiences. The teenager who just entered the labor market is at a disadvantage and will have a more difficult time searching for a job than an adult with a history of work experience. In situations of economic downturns, a teenager is likely to be laid off than the adult because of the cost of investing in them for training purposes.
Assume JUP has debt with a book value of $20 million, trading at 120% of par value. The bonds have a yield to maturity of 7%. The firm's book value of equity is $16 million, and it has 2 million shares trading at $19 per share. The firm's cost of equity is 12%. What is JUP's WACC if the firm's marginal tax rate is 35%
Answer:
9.12%
Explanation:
WACC=E*Ke+D*Kd*(1-t)/(E+D)
E=2*19=$38 million
Ke=12%
D=$20*1.2=$24 million
Kd=7%
WACC=38*12%+24*7%(1-35%)/(38+24)
WACC=9.12%
JUP's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is calculated using the market values of debt and equity, the after-tax cost of debt, and the cost of equity, resulting in approximately 9.12%.
To calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for JUP, we need to first determine the market values of debt and equity, then apply the cost rates to these values, and finally, aggregate them in a weighted manner.
We have:
- Debt has a book value of $20 million, but it is trading at 120% of par value, so its market value is $20 million * 1.2 = $24 million.
- Equity has a book value of $16 million, and with 2 million shares trading at $19 per share, its market value is 2 million * $19 = $38 million.
We can now calculate WACC:
Cost of debt after tax = yield to maturity * (1 - tax rate) = 7% * (1 - 0.35) = 4.55%Cost of equity = Firm's cost of equity = 12%Weight of debt = market value of debt / (market value of debt + market value of equity) = $24 million / ($24 million + $38 million) = 0.3871Weight of equity = market value of equity / (market value of debt + market value of equity) = $38 million / ($24 million + $38 million) = 0.6129WACC = (Cost of debt after tax * Weight of debt) + (Cost of equity * Weight of equity) = (4.55% * 0.3871) + (12% * 0.6129) = 1.761395% + 7.3548% = 9.1162%Therefore, JUP's WACC is approximately 9.12%.
: a) depreciation for equipment purchased on January 1, 20X2 - 120,000 b) rent expense - 200,000 c) bad debt expense - 80,000 Below are the exchange rates at various dates: Date USD equivalent of 1 Local Currency Unit January 1, 20X2 0.50 December 31 ,20X5 0.40 Average, 20X5 0.44 What is the total dollar amount that should be included in Crush's income statement for the above expense accounts if the local currency is the functional currency?
Answer:
Depreciation - $60 000 Rent Expense - $80000 Bad Debts - $32000
Explanation:
For Depreciation we use the original depreciation cost of 120000 x 0,50 ( original cost ) = 60 000.
Rent expense we use the average for the current year since the rent expense applies to the entire year. The same applies to the bad debts. The average for 20x5 is 0.40
Rent Expense - 200000 x 0.40 = 80000
Bad Debts - 80000 x 0.40 = 32000

Increased grants and loans for college expenses would ________ the number of college graduates, while ________ wages paid to college graduates Group of answer choices increase; increasing decrease; decreasing increase; decreasing decrease; increasing
Answer:
Increase; decreasing
Explanation:
Grants are specific amounts of money given to entities by government, individuals, organizations for a specific purpose in which the entity given the money doesn't pay back.
Loans are specific amounts of money, properties and the likes given to entities in exchange for future repayment in loan value along with interest.

The rate of return on total assets is computed by dividing _______
Answer:
Dividing Net income by average total assets
Explanation:
The rate of return of total assets is a ratio used in measuring a company's revenue before deductibles when compared to its total net asset. It refers to the ratio between the net income and the average total assets of a given company at a particular point in time. This ratio is most times used to see how effectively an asset is being used in the production process.
Mathematically
ROTA = Net Income ÷ Average Total Asset
Answer:
Equity before interest and tax by Average total asset
Explanation:
The rate of return on total asset is a measure of the ability of an organization to effectively generate a reasonable return for its total assets during a period.
This is calculated by comparing the relativity of the company's earning (equity before interest and tax) to the total net assets.
It is advisable to use equity before interest and tax for this purpose so that the effects of tax and interest will not alter the reality of the result.
The formula is EBIT / average total asset
