Roi analysis using dupont model. charlie? s furniture store has been in business for several years. the firm? s owners have described the store as a ? high-price, highservice? operation that provides lots of assistance to its customers. margin has averaged a relatively high 32% per year for several years, but turnover has been a relatively low 0.4 based on average total assets of $800,000. a discount furniture store is about to open in the area served by charlie? s, and management is considering lowering prices in order to compete effectively. required: a. calculate current sales and roi for charlie? s furniture store. b. assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same roi as they currently earned. c. suppose that you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to charlie, and he replied, ? what

Calculate the cost of each capital component—in other words, the after-tax cost of debt, the cost of preferred stock (including flotation costs), and the cost of equity (ignoring flotation costs). use both the capm method and the dividend growth approach to find the cost of equity.calculate the cost of new stock using the dividend growth approach.what is the cost of new common stock based on the capm? (hint: find the difference between re and rs as determined by the dividend growth approach and then add that difference to the capm value for rs.)assuming that gao will not issue new equity and will continue to use the same target capital structure, what is the company’s wacc? e. suppose gao is evaluating three projects with the following characteristics.each project has a cost of $1 million. they will all be financed using the target mix of long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity. the cost of the common equity for each project should be based on the beta estimated for the project. all equity will come from reinvested earnings.equity invested in project a would have a beta of 0.5 and an expected return of 9.0%.equity invested in project b would have a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 10.0%.equity invested in project c would have a beta of 2.0 and an expected return of 11.0%.analyze the company’s situation, and explain why each project should be accepted or rejected g
