Answer:
b. 9.75%
Explanation:
When a partner invests in a business, he/she expects to get return on his equity in the business. The major reason for this is to compare his/her return in the partnership business with the return he/she could get elsewhere.
The return on partner equity is calculated by dividing his/her net income from the partnership business by his/her average capital for the period.
The formula is given below:
<u> Net income </u> x 100
Average capital
Average capital = <u>Opening capital balance + Closing capital balance</u>
2
For Carter Pearson, the average capital is =<u> $55,500 + $62,500</u>
2
= $59,000
The return on equity will be: <u>$5,750 </u> x 100
$59,000
= 9.7457
= 9.75% - approximate to two decimal point.
Answer:
b) -$700.
Explanation:
The economic profit or loss will be:
economic result = revenue - total cost
<u>Where:</u>
fixed cost + variable cost = total cost
400 + 600 = 1,000
revenue = units x selling price per unit
100 units x $3 = $300
economic result = revenue - total cost = 300 - 1,000 = -700
The company is on the optimal level, marginal revenue = marginal cost at 100 units of output.
But, it is not selling at the correct price. It should sale at a higher price.
Answer:
$38.81
Explanation:
The value of the stock is the present value of its future divided payments, bearing in mind that the first dividend is payable six years from,hence, the present value of dividend in year 5( a year before its payment) is then computed thus:
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=expected dividend/discount rate-growth rate
expected dividend in year 6=$5
discount rate=10%
growth rate=2%
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$5/(10%-2%)
PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$62.50
We need to discount the PV backward by 5 years to show the stock value today
the current stock price=$62.50/(1+10%)^5
the current stock price= $38.81
