Answer:
current share price = $85.96
Explanation:
Find the PV of each dividend
PV= FV / (1+r)^t
r= required return
t= total duration
PV(D1) = 18 / (1.14)= 15.78947
PV(D2) = 14 / (1.14^2) = 10.77255
PV(D3) = 13 / (1.14^3) = 8.774630
PV(D4) = 7.50 / (1.14^4) = 4.44060
PV(D5 onwards) is a two-step process, first PV of growing perpetuity;
PV(D5 onwards) at yr4 =[7.50*(1+0.04) ] / (0.14-0.04) = 78
second, finding PV today ; PV(D5 onwards) at yr 0 = 78 / (1.14^4) = 46.18226
Add the PVs to get the current share price = $85.96

Answer: a. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018
Explanation:
In 2018, $9 million was used to settle the wage debt of 2017 and the remainder was used to settle the wages in 2018.
The money remaining in cash after the wage settlement was:
= 9,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 8,000,000
= -$1,000,000
This means that $1,000,000 of wages was not settled in 2018 which means that this would have to go to the Wages Payable account to signify that the company owes wages.
This account is a liability account so liabilities in 2018 would increase by $1,000,000.
Answer:
Standard rate per direct labor hour is $27.1
Explanation:
Standard rate per direct labor hour includes the hourly pay rate, Payroll taxes and fringe benefits. For Theresa Corporation,
We have given that
Basic direct labor rate is $21.00 per hour
Payroll Taxes is 10% of basic direct labor rate i.e. 10% of $21.00 = $2.10 per hour
Fringe Benefits is $4.00 per hour.
So Standard rate per direct labor hour = $21.00 + $2.10 + $4.00 = $27.1
