Answer:

(a) $4.08

(b) $51.03

Explanation:

Constant growth rate for earnings:

= (EPS for any year ÷ EPS for the previous year) - 1

= (8.40 ÷ 8.00) - 1

= 0.05

= 5%

(a) EPS for 2016 = EPS for 2015 × (1 + 5%)

                          = 9.72 × 1.05

                          = $10.21          

Dividend for 2016 = 40% × EPS for 2016

                               = 40% × 10.206

                               = $4.08

(b) Stock Price at the beginning of 2016:

= Dividend for 2016 ÷ (Required rate of return - Constant growth rate)

= 4.0824 ÷ (0.13 - 0.05)

= $51.03

Kulka Corporation manufactures two products: Product F82D and Product T05P. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on
ipn [44]

Answer:

b. $303,000

Explanation:

The activity rate

1. Machining = $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{180000}{9000}$

                   = $ 20 per machine hour

2. Machine set up =   $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{125000}{250}$

                   = $ 500 per set up

3. Product design =  $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{44000}{2}$

                   = $ 22000 per product

4. Order size =  $\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{total activity}}$

                    $=\frac{260000}{10000}$

                   = $ 26 per direct labor hour

Now the ABC cost (Product T05P)

1. Machining  = $\text{machine hours} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 4000 x 20

                     = $ 80,000

2. Machine set ups =  $\text{no. of set ups} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 90 x 500

                     = $ 45,000

3. Product design =  $\text{no. of products} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 1 x 22000

                     = $ 22,000

4. Order size =  $\text{direct labor hours} \times \text{activity rate}$

                     = 6000 x 26

                     = $ 156,000

Therefore, the total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to product T05P = 80000 + 45000 + 22000 + 156000

= $ 303,000

Dee's made two announcements concerning its common stock today. First, the company announced that the next annual dividend will
amid [387]

Answer:

The value of the stock at the given discount rate is $9.5

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the value of the stock at the given discount rate.

To do this, we employ a mathematical formula;

Value of the stock = Expected dividend ÷ (discount rate-growth rate)

According to the question, we identify the following;

Expected dividend = $1.58

Growth rate(negative) = -1.15% = -1.15/100 = -0.0115

Discount rate = 15.5% = 15.5/100 = 0.155

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

Value of the stock = 1.58 ÷ (0.155 - (-0.0115)

Value of the stock = 1.58/(0.155 + 0.0115)

Value of the stock = 1.58/0.1665 = $9.5
