False. cutting cost will move the business closer to having a competitive advantage but it is more involved then that. they also need something that sets them apart from the competition, something that the competition doesn't offer such as personalized service. a different product, or even a better atmosphere. they also need to stay focused on their costumer. can the costumer find a employee when they need help? is the layout of the store organized in a manner that makes sense? all of these factors go into competitive advantage

A firm’s stock is expected to pay a $2 annual dividend next year, and the current $50 stock price is expected to rise to $60 ove
pochemuha

Answer:

Expected rate of return will be 24%

So option (b) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given dividend in next year will be $2

So dividend D_1=2$

Current stock price P_0 = $50

And it is given that in next year stock price is $60

So growth rate =\frac{60-50}{50}=0.2 = 20%

We have to find the expected return after 12 month, that is after 1 year

We know that current price is given by P_0=\frac{D_1}{R_e-g}

50=\frac{2}{R_e-0.2}

50R_e-10=2

50R_e=12

R_e=0.24 = 24%

So expected rate of return will be 24%

So option (B) will be correct option

David Ortiz Motors has a target capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Explanation:

Weigheted Average cost of capital is computed using the formula below:

WACC = (Wd×Kd)  + (We×Ke)

           Kd= aftre tax cost of debt= 12%× (1-0.4)= 7.2%

           Wd =Proportion of debt= 40%

           We = proportion of equity = 60%

            Ke= cost of equity.

let the cost of equity be "y"

WACC = 11.54

11.54 = (40%× 7.2%) + (60% × y)

0.1154  = 0.0288 + 0.6y

0.1154 - 0.0288 = 0.6y

y =(0.1154 - 0.0288)/0.6

y = 0.1443 × 100

y =14.43%

Cost of equity = 14.43%

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The journal entry to record payroll for the January 2013 pay period will include a debit to payroll tax expense of $6,760

Explanation:

In order to calculate The journal entry to record payroll for the January 2013 pay period we would have to calculate the payroll tax expense as follows:

payroll tax expense=Federal unemployment tax rate+(Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate)*Salaries

Federal unemployment tax rate=$80,000*0.80%

Federal unemployment tax rate=$640

(Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate)*Salaries= (6.2%+ 1.45%)*$80,000

(Social security tax rate+medicare tax rate)*Salaries=$6,120

Therefore, payroll tax expense=$640+$6,120

payroll tax expense=$6,760

The journal entry to record payroll for the January 2013 pay period will include a debit to payroll tax expense of $6,760

If Chester's current cash balance is $26,337 (000) and Cash Flows From Operations next period are unchanged from this period, wh
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct option is c. Purchases assets at a cost of $25,000,000.

Explanation:

An emergency loan can be described as a loan that can obtained on short notice by a borrower in to cover unexpected costs.

From the options, purchasing assets at a cost of $25,000,000 will leave Chester in a serious liquidity position as the it will take 94.92% [i.e. ($25,000,000 / $26,337,000) * 100] of its current cash balance and leave the company with just $1,337 current cash balance.

Because the next period's Cash Flows From Operations are expected to be the same as this period's, purchasing assets at a cost of $25,000,000 puts Chester at the greatest danger of needing an emergency loan.

Therefore, the correct option is c. Purchases assets at a cost of $25,000,000.
