Answer:
70.3%
Explanation:
Current period cost-to-retail percentage is:
- Beginning inventory $70,000 $107,000
- Plus: Net Purchases $302,290 $450,000
- Plus: Net markups $23,000
- Less: Net markdowns ($43,000)
Goods available for sale (excluding beginning inv.) $302,290 $430,000
Goods available for sale (including beginning inv.) $372,290 $537,000
Cost-to-retail percentage = $302,290 / $430,000 = 70.3%
Answer:
I would politely reach out to XYZ organization and let them know I won't be taking them on their offer
Explanation:
In this particular situation, there is no legal binding in this agreement to start work. There is no responsibility from me to XYZ corporation.
If this new offer excited me more than what XYZ corporation has offered, then I have to decide which company i would decide to do my internship with. So I would have to politely decline the offer from XYZ.
Answer:
And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution table or excel and we got:
Explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the expected return, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution table or excel and we got:
Answer:
Share price : $ 56.23
Explanation:
CAPM
risk free = 0.05
market rate = 0.11
premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.06
beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.64
Ke 0.14840
Now, we solve for the present value of the future dividends:
year dividend* present value**
1 2.91 2.53
2 3.31 2.51
3 3.78 2.49
4 4.31 2.48
4 80.38 46.22
TOTAL 56.23
*Dividends will be calculate as the previous year dividends tiems the grow rate
during the first four year is 14%
then, we calcualte the present value of all the future dividends growing at 9% using the dividend grow model:
(4.31 x 1.09) / (0.1484 - 0.09) = 80.38
Then we discount eahc using the present value of a lump sum:
We discount using the CAPM COst of Capital of 14.84%
last we add them all to get the share price: $ 56.23
