Dividend $

b. If the discount rate is 21% and the steady growth rate after 3 years is 2%, what should the stock price be today? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Stock price $

Answer:

Requirement A. $12 per share

Requirement B. $44.14 per share

Explanation:

Requirement A.

The next dividend can be calculated using the following equation:

Next Dividend = D0 * (1 + g)

Here

D0 is the current dividend which is $10 and g is the Growth Rate which is 20% for the first three years

By putting values, we have:

Next Dividend = $10 * (1 + 20%)

= $12 per share

Requirement B.

Year Dividend Growth Rate New Dividend

1 10 20% 12

2 12 20% 14.40

3 14.4 20% 17.28

4 17.28 2% 17.63

Stock Price = $17.63 * (1 + 2%) / (21% - 2%) = $94.62

The above stock price calculated is the value of stock at the end of year 4. To discount it back to year zero, we will discount it by 21%.

Stock price at year0 = $94.62 / (1 + 21%)^4 = $44.14 per share

quester [9]

Answer:

a. The contribution margin ratio will be 41%

b. The income from operations will be $12,420,000.

Explanation:

a. The sales are given at $112,900,000.

The fixed costs are $25,000,000.

The variable costs are $66,611,000.

The contribution margin will be

=Sales-variable costs

=$(112,900,000-66,611,000)

=$46,289,000

The contribution margin ratio will be

=(Contribution margin/sales)*100

=($46,289,000/ $112,900,000)*100

=41%

b. Now, if the contribution margin ratio is 40%.

The sales are given at $34,800,000.

The fixed costs are $1,500,000.

Income from operations or operating profit will be

=(sales*contribution margin ratio)-fixed cost

=$(34,800,000*0.4)-$1,500,000

=$12,420,000

Assume a company had the following production costs: Direct labor $ 2 per unit Direct material $ 3 per unit Variable overhead $

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Total production cost $ 14 per unit Under absorption costing True

The total product cost per unit when 4,000 units are produced would be $22.50 False

Explanation:

Direct labor $ 2 per unit

Direct material $ 3 per unit

Variable overhead $ 4 per unit

Total variable $ 9 per unit

Fixed overhead ($50,000/10,000 units) $ 5 per unit

Total production cost $ 14

Production Costs involve the fixed costs under absorption Costing. So the total Product cost under absorption costing is $ 14.

When 4,000 units are produced the production costs are as follows

Absorption Costing: 4,000 * 14= $ 56,000

Variable Costing : 4000 * 9= $ 36,000

So the second statement is false.
