Suppose you know a company's stock currently sells for $70 per share and the required return on the stock is 14 percent. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $4.58

Explanation:

The required return is said to be evenly divided between a capital gains yield and a dividend yield.

That means that Dividend Yield = 7%

Capital gains yield = 7%

The Dividend Yield is based on the next dividend and given the expected return the dividend is;

Expected Return = Dividend Yield + Capital gains yield

Expected Return = Dividend(1 + g)/stock price + Capital gains yield

0.14 = Dividend ( 1 + 0.07)/70 + 0.07

70 * (0.14 - 0.07 ) = Dividend ( 1.07)

4.9 =  Dividend ( 1.07)

Dividend = 4.9/1.07

Dividend = $4.58

Fabrication $ per dlh
Assembly $ per dlh
c. Determine the factory overhead allocated per unit for each product using the department factory overhead allocation rates.
Speedboat: $ per unit
Bass boat: $ per unit

Answers

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fabrication, $645,000

Assembly, $393,750.

Speedboats:

Fabrication Direct labor hours= 4

Assembly Direct labor hours= 3

Bassboats:

Fabrication Direct labor hours= 2

Assembly Direct labor hours= 4

Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

First, we need to calculate the budgeted direct labor hours:

Fabrication= 4*5,000 + 2*5,000= 30,000

Assembly= 3*5,000 + 4*5,000= 35,000

Now, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate using the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Fabrication= 645,000/30,000= $21.5 per direct labor hour

Assembly= 393,750/35,000= $11.25 per direct labor hour

Finally, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speedboat= 4*21.5 + 3*11.25= $119.75

Bassboat= 2*21.5 + 4*11.25= $88

Abey​ Kuruvilla, of Parkside​ Plumbing, uses 1,210 of a certain spare part that costs ​$26 for each​ order, with an annual holding cost of ​$24. ​a) Calculate the total cost for order sizes of​ 25, 40,​ 50, 60, and 100 ​(round your responses to two decimal​ places).

Answers

Answer:

Annual demand(D) = 1,210

Ordering cost(S) = $26

Annual holding cost (H) = $24

With the order quantity(Q) = 25,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(25/2)24] + [(1210/25)26]

= $300 + $1258.4

= $1558.4

With the order quantity(Q) = 40,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(40/2)24] + [(1210/40)26]

= $480 + $786.5

= $1266.5

With the order quantity(Q) = 50,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(50/2)24] + [(1210/50)26]

= $600 + $605

= $1205

With the order quantity(Q) = 60,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(60/2)24] + [(1210/60)26]

= $720 + $524.33

= $1244.33

With the order quantity(Q) = 100,

Total cost = Holding cost + ordering cost

= [(Q/2)H] + [(D/Q)S]

= [(100/2)24] + [(1210/100)26]

= $1200 + $314.6

= $1514.6

Beverages manufactures its own . The bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate​ (PET), a lightweight yet strong plastic. uses as much PET recycled resin pellets in its bottles as it​ can, both because using recycled PET helps to meet its sustainability goals and because recycled PET is less expensive than virgin PET.

Riley is continuing to search for ways to reduce its costs and its impact on the environment. PET plastic is melted and blown over soda bottle molds to produce the bottles. One idea Riley's engineers have suggested is to retrofit the soda bottle molds and change the plastic formulation slightly so that 25 % less PET plastic is used for each bottle. The average kilograms of PET per soda bottle before any redesign is 0.004 kg. The cost of retrofitting the soda bottle molds will result in a one-time charge of $22,112, while the plastic reformulation will cause the average cost per kilogram of PET plastic to change from $3.00 to $3.30.

Required:
a. Using the original data (before any redesign of soda bottles ), prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total.
b. Assume that the company retrofits the soda bottle molds and changes the plastic formulation slightly so that less PET plastic is used in each bottle. Now prepare a direct materials budget to calculate the cost of PET purchases in each quarter for the upcoming year and for the year in total for this possible scenario.
c. Compare the cost of PET plastic for Requirement 1 (original data) and for Requirement 2 (making change to using less PET.) What is the direct material cost savings from making the change to using less PET?

Answers

Answer:

I prepared an excel spreadsheet because there is not enough space here.

C) total savings =  previous materials costs - total cost per year after retrofitting - cost of retrofitting the molding machine = $137,105.10 - $102,168.00  - $22,112 = $12,825.10

Which of the following is true regarding the value of an option? A) Unlike the Black-Scholes formula, the Put-Call Parity suggests that the volatility of underlying asset is not a factor that affects the value of an option. B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium. C) The call and put premiums are unrelated since they depend on different set of variables. D) The writer of the call option pays the same premium as the buyer of the put option. E) When the call option is out-of-the-money and the put option is in-the-money, the call must be more valuable than the put.

Answers

Answer: B) The option premium is greater or equal to its intrinsic value because of the time premium.

Explanation:

The option premium can be calculated by adding the time premium and the intrinsic value. The time premium is the part of the option premium that accounts for the time remaining till the premium matures while the intrinsic value is the difference between the value of underlying asset and the strike price.

As the time premium can be zero but never negative, the option premium can either be greater than its intrinsic value or equal to it. It cannot be lower than it because of the time premium.

Ten years ago, Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share. Its earnings this year were $2.20. What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) over the 10-year period?

Answers

Answer:

The growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) is 15.97%

Explanation:

Assuming annual growth rate is r%, hence

$0.5 x (1 + r)^10 = $2.20

(1 + r)10 = $2.20 / $0.5

(1 + r)10 = $4.4

Taking 10th root at each side,

(1 + r)10 = $4.4  

[tex]\sqrt[10]{1 + r}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt[10]{4.4}[/tex]

1+r = 1.1597

r = 1.1597 -  1

r = 0.1597

r= 15.97%

Before tax cost of debt=3.72%

After-tax cost of debt =2.87 %

Explanation:

The yield to maturity to Maturity van be worked out using the formula below:

YM =( C + F-P/n) ÷ ( 1/2× (F+P))

C- annual coupon,  

F- face value ,

P- current price,  

n- number of years to maturity

YM - Yield to maturity

DATA

C- 4%× 100 = 4, P- 105, F- 100

AYM = 4 + (100-105)/27 ÷ 1/2× (100+105)

=0.0372 ×  100= 3.72%

Yield to maturity =3.72%

Before tax cost of debt = Yield to maturity

Before tax cost of debt=3.72%

After tax cost of debt =Before tax cost of debt × (1-T)

Before tax cost of debt = 3.72%

Tax rate = 23%

After-tax cost of debt = 3.72%× (1-0.23) =2.87 %

After-tax cost of debt =2.87 %

According to the kinked demand curve theory, if Kit-N-Sit cuts prices, Kittysitters will ________; if Kit-N-Sit raises prices, Kittysitters will ________.

Answers

Answer:

respond aggressively by cutting prices ; will do nothing and leave prices unchanged.

Explanation:

The kinked demand curve was developed by an economist, Sweezy to addressing price inflexibility associated with an oligopolist market. In an oligopolist market, prices tends to remain unchanged over a long period of time even when costs are declining. The kinked demand curve hypothesis states that a firm faces a demand curve with a kink at the prevailing price level. This means that the curve is more elastic above the kink and less elastic below it. Here, there is less response to a price increase compared to much response to a price decrease.

According to the assumption under kinked demand curve, each firm in an oligopoly believes that if a firm cut price below the prevailing level, then competitors will follow suit. This is because competitors feels that if they do not cut their prices too, then their customers will leave them and buy from the competitor that is selling at lower price.

It is also assumed that, if a firm increases the price of his goods and services above the prevailing level, then competitors will not follow suit. This means that if a firm increases the price of his goods and services, there will be reduction in sales hence competitors will not increase their price. This because customers will patronize firms with the same or similar products hence increase competitors sales.

People decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. The value of the marginal propensity to consume is ________ and the value of the spending multiplier is ________.

Answers

Answer: 0.8; 5

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that people decide to save 20 percent of their incomes. We should note that the addition of the marginal prospensity to consume(MPC) and the marginal prospensity to save(MPS) will be equal to 1.

Therefore, the value of the marginal propensity to consume will be:

= 1 - 20%

= 1 - 0.2

= 0.8

The value of the spending multiplier will be calculated as:

= 1/MPS

= 1/0.2

= 5

Division A had ROI of 15% last year. The manager of Division A is considering an additional investment for the coming year. What step will the manager likely choose to take

Answers

Answer: c.Reject the investment if it returns less than 15% ROI.

Explanation:

Additional investments should yield incremental returns if they are to be accepted. In the previous year, Division A had an Return on Investment of 15%, when an additional investment is being considered, it must bring in more than that 15% if it is to be accepted.

Therefore, if an investment is to give a less than 15% ROI, it should be rejected as it is not bringing additional returns for the Division.

The HIJ bond has a current price of $800, a maturity value of $1,000, and matures in 5 years. If interest is paid semi-annually and the bond is priced to yield 8%, what is the bond's annual coupon rate

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The coupon rate is defined as the interest rate paid on a bond by its issuer for the term of the security.

Hence,

Par Value = $800

Face Value = $1,000

N = 5 x 2 = 10

Since the interest is semi annual

i = 8% / 2 = 4%

CF = $15.34

Coupon = $30.68 per year or 3.068%

Which of the following statements best describes projects A and B?
a) Project A should be accepted because it has the highest NPV.
b) Project A should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
c) Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.
d) Both projects should be accepted because they have positive NPVs and EAAs.
e) Neither project is acceptable.

Answers

Answer:

c) Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.

Explanation:

EAA is the annuity payment that is equal to the value of the NPV

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

NPV for project A

Cash flow in year 0 = -$100,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $28,900

I = 13%

NPV = $1647.98

Please find attached the formula used i calculating EAA = $468.54

NPV for project B

Cash flow in year 0 = -$100,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $48,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $40,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $40,000

I = 13%

NPV = $1,525.75

EAA = $646.19

When comparing projects with unequal lives, choose the project with the higher EAA. This is project B. Only project B can be chosen because the projects are mutually exclusive.

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute  

Answer:

c) Project B should be accepted because it has the highest EAA.

Explanation:

First determine the Net Present Value of Project A and Project B.

Using a Financial Calculator the Net Present Values will be

Project A

-$100,000     CFj

$28,900        CFj

$28,900        CFj

$28,900        CFj

$28,900        CFj

13%                 I/YR

Shift NPV    - $14,037.78

Project B

-$100,000     CFj

$48,000        CFj

$40,000        CFj

$40,000        CFj

$28,900        CFj

The price lists from suppliers indicate the current replacement cost of the item to be $162 each. What would be the amount reported as Merchandise Inventory on the balance sheet?

A. $1,600

B. $3,220

C. $322

D. $1,620

Answers

Answer:

$1,600

Explanation:

Best deals incorporation has a total of 10 units in the ending merchandise inventory on December 31

The units were bought in the month of November at a price of $160 for each unit

The replacement cost of the item is $162

Inventory is always recorded when the cost is low

Therefore, the amount that is to be reported as the merchandise inventory can be calculated as follows

=10 units × $160

= $1,600

Hence the amount reported as the merchandise inventory on the balance sheet is $1,600

CEOs with high EI excel in all of the following exceptA) managing relationships.B) influencing people.C) forging alliances inside and outside the firm.D) ability to discourage outside stakeholders.

Answers

Answer:

D) ability to discourage outside stakeholders.

Explanation:

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is important for effective leaders at all levels or organizations including CEO, as it helps in several organizational functions such as managing employee relations, satisfying employees, influencing people and forging alliances inside and outside the firm.

But a CEO with high level of EI will never discourage outside stakeholders, rather they will encourage their employees to perform better.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

Answers

Answer:

A.Residential 34%

Professional 42%

B.Residential 8%

Professional 14%

C.Residential 4.25%

Professional 3%

D.Residential 34%

Professional 42%

E.Residential $18,000.00

Professional $62,050.00

Explanation:

A.Calculation for  each division’s ROI

Using this formula

Return on Investment

=Net Income / Average Invested Assets

Let plug in the formula  

Residential $68,000.00/$200,000.00 = 34.00%

Professional $153,300.00/$365,000.00 = 42.00%

B.Calculation for  each division’s sales margin. Interpret your results

Using this formula

Sales Margin= Operating income/Sales

Let plug in the formula

Residential $68,000.00/$850,000.00 = 8.00%

Professional  $153,300.00/$1,095,000.00 = 14.00%

C.Calculation for each division’s capital turnover

Using this formula

Capital Turnover=Sales/Average operating assets

Let plug in the formula

Residential $850,000.00 /$200,000.00 = 4.25

Professional $1,095,000.00/$365,000.00 = 3.00

D.Using  the expanded ROI formula to confirm the results from Requirement a.

Using this formula

Return on Investment=Profit Margin * Investment Turnover

Let plug in the formula  

Residential 8.00% * 4.25%  34.0%

Professional 14.00% * 3.00%  42.0%

E.Calculation for  each division’s residual income (RI)

Residential Professional

Average investment

$200,000.00 $365,000.00

×Target return 25%   25%

=Target income

$50,000.00 $91,250.00

Hence,

Operating income $68,000.00 $153,300.00

Less:Target income$50,000.00 $91,250.00

Residual income $18,000.00 $62,050.00

If the rate of inflation is 2.2% per year, the future price pt (in dollars) of a certain item can be modeled by the following exponential function, where t is the number of years from today.

p(t)=1200(1.039^t)

Find the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today.

Answers

Answer:

1693.25

Explanation:

The computation of the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today is shown below:-

p(t) = 1,200 × (1.039)^t

Now, the current price can be found by putting t = 0

p(0) is

[tex]1,200\times (1.039)^0 = $1,200[/tex]

The price 10 years from today

p(9) is

[tex]1,200\times (1.039)^9[/tex]

Now we will solve the above equation

= 1,200 × 1.411041958

= 1693.25035

or

= 1693.25

The fixed cost of a production system is $20,000, and the variable cost per unit product is $17. The product has a revenue of $28 per unit. Calculate the breakeven quantity and determine the profit or loss amount when 1,500 units are produced. g

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $20,000

Unitary variable cost= $17

Selling price= $28 per unit.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 20,000 / (28 - 17)

Break-even point in units= 1,818 units

Now, the profit for 1,500 units:

Loss= 1,500*11 - 20,000= -$3,500

assume the following information about the market and JumpMaster's stock. JumpMaster's beta = 1.50, the risk free rate 2%, the market risk premium is 10.0%. Using CAPM, what is the expected return for JumpMaster's stock?

Answers

Answer:

Expected market return = 17%

Explanation:

Given the Jump master’s beta = 1.50

Risk free rate = 2%

Market risk premium  = 10%

To find the expected return we have to use the below formula.

Expected market return = Riskfree rate + Beta × Market risk premium

Now insert all the values in order to get the expected market return.

Expected market return = 2 + 1.50 × 10

Expected market return = 17%

Explanation:

You own a stock that had returns of 12.05 percent, −16.76 percent, 21.64 percent, 25.41 percent, and 9.29 percent over the past five years. What was the arithmetic average return for this stock?

Answers

Answer:Arithmetic average return =10.326%

Explanation:

Year Returns      

1      12.05%      

2    - 16.76%      

3      21.64%      

4      25.41%

5           9.29%      

Total returns = 51.63%

Arithmetic average is The sum of all of the numbers in a considered list divided by the number of items of the list.

Therefore,      

Arithmetic average return = Sum of  year 1 to year 5 returns / number of items(year)

= 51.63% /  5

= 10.326%

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. The following price schedule applies.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.

Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60

and ordering costs are $96.

Determine:

A. The optimal order quantity.

The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]

[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]

B. The number of orders per year.

of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25

of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20

of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15

of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10

SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''

Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]

Total cost  = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)

Total cost  = 720 + 720 + 21600

Total cost  =  $ 23040

If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]

Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700

Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700

Total cost = $22545.6

If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]

[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]

Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96)  + 19800

Total cost =  3000 + 172.8 + 19800

Total cost = $22972.8

From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000

So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order

the number of orders per year = 18000/5000

the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year

Answers

Answer:

IRR for A= 35.33%

IRR for B = 31.88%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a finacial calculator :

IRR for cash flow A

Cash flow in year 0 = −$ 68,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $44,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $38,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $25,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $15,600

IRR = 35.33%

IRR for cash flow A

Cash flow in year 0 = −$ 68,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $30,200

Cash flow in year 2 =  34,200

Cash flow in year 3 = $40,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $24,200

IRR = 31.88%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button

Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is a. increasing at an increasing rate. b. increasing at a decreasing rate. c. increasing at a constant rate. d. decreasing.

Answers

The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.
