Answer:
- Stock is overpriced/ overvalued.
- Sell if you own it.
- Don't buy if you don't.
Explanation:
Use CAPM to find the required return on the stock:
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)
= 2.5% + 1.3 * (7% - 2.5%)
= 8.35%
Price based on Constant Dividend Growth Model (CDGM):
Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
Next dividend = 1.40 * ( 1 + 4%)
= $1.456
Price = 1.456 / (8.35% - 4%)
= $33.47
<em>Stock is selling for $35. It is overvalued. Don't buy the stock. Sell if you have the stock. </em>
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $18,750
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The estimated total factory overhead= $300,000
Total estimated direct labor cost= $240,000.
The actual direct labor cost was $15,000.
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate based on direct labor cost. Then, we can allocate overhead.
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 300,000/240,000= $1.25 per direct labor dollar
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.25*15,000
Allocated MOH= $18,750
Answer:
a.$16,370.
Explanation:
beginning WIP cost: 11,100
cost added during the period
materials 77,100
direct labor 25,100
overhead 70% of DL = 17,570
total added 119,770
Total cost to be accounted for: 130,870
Cost assignned to
transferred out 114,500
ending WIP 16.370
Total cost assigned to 130,870
As the cost to be accounted and the cost assigned to should match we contruct that and solve for the ending WIP
Explanation:
This statement is true, due to the fact that a company to stand out in the market must have a strategy that guarantees significant advantages over its competitors, that is, the company must be prepared to have its own identity in the market that gives it value, what can be achieved through innovation.
An example of innovation leadership and followers of innovation is the case of entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, a pioneer in internet sales. It can be said that through the innovative vision that Jeff Bezos has, he managed to found a company that sold books online in 1994, a time when the internet was not so widespread and few people had access. Therefore, Bezos, through leadership in innovation, transformed his company into an empire with several different businesses, always following technological changes and people's behaviors, to always follow market innovations and keeping his company always competitive, being a world technology giant.
Answer: D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to firms' labor hoarding practices.
Explanation:
Keynesian Economists argue that firms practice labor hoarding which is the practice of keeping workers when they should not such as when there is a Recession. They should not keep these workers because demand has slowed so keeping them means that they will not be producing to meet the demand.
The procyclical behavior of labor productivity means that labor productivity goes by the Business Cycle in that it is high when the Economy is booming and low when it is in a Recession.
Productivity is calculated by dividing goods produced by the number of labor producing them.
By refusing to fire workers during a Recession, there will be too many workers producing too few goods which will decrease labor productivity which is why according to Keynesian Economists, the productivity is low in Recessions.
