Answer:

Market capitalization = $262.80 bil

Stock price = $584.00 per share

Explanation:

Share repurchase and cash dividend have the same nature, which is distributions made to shareholders of company. So, we can apply Dividend Discount Model (DDM) to value the stock of Amazon.

DDM is stated as below:

V_o = [D_o x (1 + g)]/(r - g), where:

V_o: Current intrinsic value of the company;

D_o: Current dividend/Share repurchased in cash;

g: Dividend growth;

r: cost of equity.

Putting all the number together, we have:

V_o = [2.95 x (1 + 6.9%)]/(8.1% - 6.9%) = $262.80 bil

Amazon stock price = Market capitalization/number of shares outstanding = $262.80 bil/450 mil = $584.00 per share

Damien Carranza is an nonexempt employee of Verent Enterprises where he is a salesperson, earning a base annual salary of $30,00
Kay [80]

Answer:

Total weekly pay of August =   =  $ 1468.75

Explanation:

Annual salary = $30,000

Monthly Salary = $ 30,000/12=  $ 2500

Salary for 40 hours * ( 4 weeks) = 160 hours = $ 2500

Salary for 1 hour= $ 2500/160=  $ 15.625= $ 15.63

He worked additional 4 hours so pay for four hours is = 4 * 15.63=  $ 62.5

But as he is a non exempt  employee he is entitled to get 1.5 times higher than normal pay for over time so  

he will be paid $ 62.5 * 1.5= $ 93.75 for over time

Commission on Sales = 3 % of $25,000

                                    = $ 750

Weekly pay= $ 2500/4=  $ 625

Total weekly pay of August =  Weekly pay + Commission + Overtime

                                                =  $ 625 +  $ 750 +  $ 93.75

                                                 =  $ 1468.75
