Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

$259.34

Explanation:

the value of the stock can be determined using the two stage dividend discount model.

In the first stage, the present value would be determined using a discount rate of 18%.

In the second stage, the present value would be determined using a discount rate of 6%.

Values from the first and second stage would be added together to determine the value of the stock

First stage

Present value in year 1 = ($3.2 x 1.18) / 1.087 = $3.47

Present value in year 2 = ($3.2 x 1.18²) / 1.087² = $3.77

Present value in year 3 = ($3.2 x 1.18³) / 1.087³ = $4.09

Present value in year 4 = ($3.2 x 1.18^4) / 1.087^4 = $4.44

Second stage

($3.2 x 1.18^4 x 1.06) / (0.087 - 0.06) = 243.57

Value of the stock = $3.47 + $3.77 + $4.09 + $4.44 +  243.57 = $259.34

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1) Direct Materials

Price Variance = $138,474 (F)

Usage Variance = $82,800 (F)

2) Direct Labor

Direct Labor Price = $9,102  (F)

Direct Labor Usage = $4,800  (F)

Explanation:

Material Price Variance = ( Standard price - Actual price) * Actual Quantity purchased

                                      = ($20 - $5.30) *9,420

                                      = $138,474 (F)

Actual Price = $49,926/9,420 = $5.30

Material Usage Variance = ( Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity ) * Standard Price

                                         = ( 11,960 - 7,820 ) $20

                                        =$82,800 (F)

Standard Quantity = 2.60 *4,600 = 11,960

Actual Quantity used = 0+9,420-1,600 = 7,820

Direct Labor price Variance = ( Standard Rate - Actual Rate) * Actual Hours worked

                                             = ($16-$12.30) * 2,460

                                             = $9,102  (F)

Actual time = 61.50*40 = 2,460

Usage variance = ( Standard time - Actual time ) * Standard rate

                          = ( 2,760 - 2,460) $16

                         = $4,800  (F)

Standard time = 0.60 *4,600 = 2,760
