Answer:
The divided for common stockholders is $152000
Explanation:
The preferred stock is cumulative whch means any arrears in preference dividend will be paid whenever the dividend is declared.
The amount of yearly preference dividends is = 12000 * 100 * 0.07 = 84000
Thus, when 320000 cash dividend is declared, 2 years ( current year and arrear year) preference dividend will be paid first and the remaining will be distributed among common stock holders.
The dividedn for common stockholders is 320000 - (84000 * 2) = $152000
Answer:
This lease is regarded and classified as Capital lease.
Explanation:
This lease is regarded and classified as Capital lease.
Here, Callaway Golf Co. is the body financing the leased asset but the right ownership is with Photon Company.
Now; the present value of future payment is calculated as:
Present value of future payment =[PVA 6%,5 × Annual payment ]+[PVF 6%,5 × Residual value]
=[4.46511 × 31000] +[0.74726 × 15500]
= 138418.27+ 11582.53
= 150000
However the present value of minimum lease payment is equal or more than 90% fair market value ,as such we therefore conclude that this lease is a capital lease.
Answer:
The stock's new expected rate of return is 14%
Explanation:
Ke=Rf+beta(Mrp-Rf)
Ke is the cost of capital is 10.20%
Rf i the risk free rate which is unknown
beta is 1.00
(Mrp-Rf) is the market risk premium at 6%
10.20%=Rf+1.0(6%)
10.20%=Rf+6.0%
Rf=10.20-6.00%
Rf=4.20%
Beta for the risky asset is 1.00*130%=1.3
New risk rate is the old rate plus inflation rate of 2.00%
new risk free=4.2%+2%=6.2%
The expected return on the new asset is computed thus:
Ke=6.2%+1.3(6%)
Ke=6.2%+7.8%
Ke=14%
