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

Sergeu [11.5K]

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.

On January 1, Witt Company has a beginning cash balance of $126,000. During the year, the company expects cash disbursements of

aleksley [76]

Answer:

The company must borrow $144000

Explanation:

The required ending cash balance is the balance that the company should have at the end of the period. The decision to borrow will be taken by comparing the actual ending balance with the required ending balance. If the actual ending balance is less than the required ending balance, only then the company needs to borrow to reach the desired level of ending balance.

The actual ending balance can be calculated as,

Actual Ending balance = Opening Balance + Cash receipts - Cash disbursements

Actual Ending balance = 126000 + 870000 - 1020000

Actual Ending balance = - $24000

Difference = -24000 - 120000 = - $144000

As the ending cash balance is negative ( - $24000) which means that there is a shortage of cash and the company does not have enough cash to meet the disbursements for the period and maintain the required ending cash balance. The negative sign in difference indicates shortage and the need for borrowing. The company should borrow for the amount of difference. Thus, the company should borrow $144000

The following is an example of the reasoning of a rule utilitarian:

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option B: False.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept of <em>"Rule Utilitarism"</em> refers to a type of utilitarism in where the main characteristic is in the belief that an action is right when it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good. Therefore that under this type of ideology, the utilitarians believe that an action would be right when the amount of good that it brings is greater than the action itself. And that is why that for an utilitarian to steal would not be wrong in the case that a greater good would come afterwards for the majority, so that means, better consequences.
