Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.24 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.80, $1.98, $2

.05, and $2.16 per share in the last four years. a. If the stock currently sells for $45, what is your best estimate of the company’s cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate in dividends? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. What if you use the geometric average growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

Ans, The cost of the company’s cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate is 10.63% and using the geometric average of the growth rate is 10.60%

Explanation:

Hi, this is the equation we need to solve in order to find the company’s cost of equity capital.

r=\frac{Dividend}{Price} +g

As you can see, we almost have everything, the only problem here is "g", its growth rate, so let´s find "g" using the arithmetic average, but first, we need to find the growth rate for every period, the formula is

g=\frac{(FinalDividend-PastDividend}{PastDividend}

Therefore, we need to find 4 g´s, let´s call them g1, g2, g3 and g4:

g1=\frac{(1.98-1.80)}{1.80} =0.10

g2=\frac{(2.05-1.98)}{1.98} =0.0354

g3=\frac{(2.16-2.05)}{2.05} =0.0537

g4=\frac{(2.24-2.16)}{2.16} =0.0370

So the average is:

Average(g)=\frac{0.10+0.0354+0.0537+0.0370}{4} =0.0565

Therefore, the average growth rate is 5.65%

And the company’s cost of equity is:

r=\frac{2.24}{45} +0.0565=0.1063

so, if the average growth rate is found by using the arithmetic average is 10.63%.

Now, let´s find the geometric average

g(average)=\sqrt[4]{(1+0.10)(1+0.0354)(1+0.0537)(1+0.0370)} -1=0.0562

therefore, using the geometric average to find the growth rate, the company’s cost of equity is:

r=\frac{2.24}{45} +0.0562=0.1060

using the geometric average, the company’s cost of equity is 10.60%

Best of luck.

applied vs. actual manufacturing overhead davis manufacturing corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of 150% of
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Subapplication of    22,500

journal entry:

WIP                   4,500 debit

finished goods 2,250 debit

COGS               15,750 debit

    factory overhead               22,500 credit

Explanation:

Direct Labor cost during the year:

60,000 + 30,000 + 210,000 = 300,000 direct labor

<u></u>

<u>Applied overhead:</u>

cost driver x predetermined rate

300,000 x 150% = 450,000

Actual overhead:   472,500

Subapplication of    22,500

as this is a significant amount we must adjust the WIP  inventory, cost of goods sold and fnished goods inventory

to know the adjustment on each account we calcualte each account percentage:

300,000   -->   22,500

60,000 --> 60,000/300,000 x 22,500 = 4,500 endingWIP

30,000 --> 30,000/300,000 x 22,500  = 2,250 finished goods

210,000--> 210,000/300,000 x 22,500 = 15,750 COGS

we do the adjuting entry to increase overhead and transfer into each concept
