Answer:
b. Increase by $17,000
Explanation:
For computing the change in the operating income, first we have to determine the cost by make and buy options
Make options:
= Variable cost + fixed cost
= $70 + $60
= $130
Buy options:
= Outside supplier cost + fixed cost × remaining percentage
= $77 + $60 × 60%
= $77 + $36
= $113
So, the difference of cost would be
= $130 - $113
= $17
And, the operating income would be
= Number of units make in each year × cost difference
= 1,000 units × $17
= $17,000
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $45 per share.
Explanation:
To calculate the current share price or the maximum that should be paid for the stock today, we will use the dividend discount model approach.
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rate
g2 is the constant growth rate
r is the required rate of return
So, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 2 * (1+0.20) / (1+0.12) + 2 * (1+0.20)^2 / (1+0.12)^2 +
[( 2 * (1+0.20)^2 * (1+0.06)) / (0.12 - 0.06)] / (1+0.12)^2
P0 = $45
Answer:
The real risk free rate is 3.8%
The exact risk-free rate is 3.68%
Explanation:
The interest rate on the Treasury bills is usually a combination of real risk free rate and inflation rate to compensate investors for average inflation in the economy during the instrument lifetime which equals nominal risk-free rate.
nominal risk-free rate = real risk-free rate+inflation rate
nominal risk-free rate=7%
inflation rate=3.2%
real risk-free rate=7%-3.2%
real risk-free rate=3.8%
The exact real risk-free rate can be computed thus:
nominal rate+1=(real risk-free rate+1)*(inflation rate+1)
real risk-free rate=(nominal rate+1)/(inflation rate+1)-1
real risk free rate=(1.07/1.032)-1
real risk-free rate=0.036821705
real risk-free rate=3.68%
Answer:
4. Fiscal year
Explanation:
Reporting period refers to the period or time covered by a set of financial statements. It is the accounting period in which a given financial report will be covered. It may either be monthly, quarterly or yearly depending on organization's choice.
