Answer:
Stock Price of LeBlanc in four years = $37.517
Explanation:
Dividend Discount model is as follows:

Where,
= Price of share at end of four years
= Dividend to be paid at end of 5th year
= return on equity or cost of equity
g = growth rate
Now we have the information as follows:
Dividend at 5th year end = ((($3 per share + 3%) + 3%) + 3%) +3% = 3.765
Cost/ Return on equity = 12%
Growth rate = 3%
Therefore price = 
= 
Stock Price of LeBlanc in four years
= $37.517
Answer:
Cash paid 168,000
Explanation:
Assuming that there were no inventory at start of the year
purchases during the year :
Sold = 155
Closing inventory = 21
Total purchase (155+21) = 176
Cash paid for merchandise = total purchase - increase in liability
Cash paid = 176-8 = 168
Answer:
b. 23.8%
Explanation:
For computing the percentage difference, we have to compute the Pre-tax income of both corporations and the partnership
For corporations:
Pre-tax income = (1 - corporate tax rate) × (1 - personal tax rate)
= (1 - 0.34) × (1 - 0.30)
= 0.66 × 0.70
= 0.462 or 46.2%
For partnership:
Pre-tax income = (1 - personal tax rate)
= (1 - 0.30)
= 0.70 or 70%
So, the difference would be
= 70% - 46.2%
= 23.8%
I think the answer you're looking for is 'D' if you're asking what productivity is in a generalized sense.
