The company's cost of equity is 9.45%

Given that

Annual dividend paid, D0 = $2.35

Dividend growth rate, g = 3.15% = 0.0315

Current stock price per share = $38.44

Now,

Current price of share = D1 ÷ (r - g) -(1)

Here,

r is the required rate of return

D1 = dividend at year 1 =  D0 × (1 + g)

= $2.35 × (1 + 0.0315)

= $2.424045

Therefore, from (1) we get

$38.44 = $2.424045 ÷ (r - 0.022)

(r - 0.0315) = 0.063060

r = 0.063060 + 0.0315

r = 0.09456

r = 0.0945 × 100% = 9.45%

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The answer is III) make simultaneous trades in two markets without any net investment.

Arbitrage is simultaneously buying an asset ( may be currency, securities...) in a low-priced market and sell it in a high-priced market.

As a results, the investor earns profit from price differences in the two markets without risk and net investment. It is because the two trading happens at the same time once price differences in any two markets are recognized ( arbitrage opportunities recognized) and the proceed of selling the asset is immediately used for financing/returning to the buying of the asset.

Thus, (III) is the correct answer.

mylen [45]

Answer:

A) The price of a donut is $2.00 in 2009.

B) Rina's wage is $14.00 per hour in 2009.

Explanation:

The nominal value of a variable is its monetary amount, in this case, in dollars which is susceptible to currency fluctuations and inflation. Therefore, statements A and B present the nominal value of a variable.

When valuing a variable as an exchange for another good, that is assigning a real value to that variable since monetary changes won't affect the relationship between two goods.

The answers are A) and B)

Molodets [167]

Answer:

b. greater under absorption costing than variable costing.

Explanation:

The question is to calculate the closing value of inventory and based on the choices, we need to calculate based on both the Absorption Costing and the Variable Costing Methods.

1. Closing Inventory based on Variable Costing Method

Direct Material                                $40

Direct Labour                                  $30

Variable Overhead                           $2

Fixed Overhead                                <u>$0 </u>(this method does not reecognise fixed cost

Totals (Unit cost of Production)     $72

Based on this, the closing inventory is $72 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)

=$77 x 3,000= $216,000

2. Closing Inventory based on Absorption Costing Method

Direct Material                                $40

Direct Labour                                  $30

Variable Overhead                           $2

Fixed Overhead                                <u>$5</u>

Totals (Unit cost of Production)     $77

Based on this, the closing inventory is $77 x (8,000+50,000-55,000 units)

=$77 x 3,000= $231,000

Based on these calculations:

The Ending Inventory is higher/Greater under absorption costing than variable costing and the reason is that variable costing does not recognize fixed cost in determining the value of ending inventory.
