Answer:

d.) 14.66%

Explanation:

The computation of the return required by shareholders is shown below:

Current share price = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,  

Next year dividend would be

= $4.10 + $4.10 × 0.04

= $4.10 + 0.164

= $4.264

So, the return required by shareholders

$40 = $4.264 ÷ (Required rate of return - 4%)

After solving this equation,

The required rate of return is 14.66%

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

Caleb owns a small business in houston. What should caleb do to encourage creativity among his employ?
avanturin [10]

Caleb should put as many promising ideas to test and encourage creativity among his employ.

<h3>Does encourage mean support?</h3>

Encourage is defined as to give someone hope, confidence or support.

<h3>What makes a person encouraging?</h3>

Once we understand what the issue is, an important part of encouraging someone is to validate their feelings, and try to understand why they feel that way. I personally find that one of the least effective ways to encourage someone is to just say something like 'it'll be fine' or 'don't worry, you'll be great'.
