Answer:
Do = $2.00
D1= Do(1+g)1 = $2(1+0.2)1 = $2.40
D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.2)2 = $2.88
D3= Do(1+g)3 = $2(1+0.2)3 = $3.456
D4= Do(1+g)4 = $2(1+0.2)4 = $4.1472
D5= Do(1+g)5 = $2(1+0.2)5 = $4.97664
PHASE 1
V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2 + D3/(1+ke)3 +D4/(1+ke)4 + D5/(1+ke)5
V1 = 2.40/(1+0.15) + 2.88/(1+0.15)2 + 3.456/(1+0.15)3 + 4.1472/(1+0.15)4 + 4.97664/(1+0.15)5
V1 = $2.0870 + $2.1777 + $2.2723 + $2.3712 + $2.4742
V1 = $11.3824
PHASE 2
V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n
V2 = $4.97664(1+0.02)/(0.15-0.02)(1+0.02)5
V2 = $5.0762/0.1435
V2 = $35.3742
Po = V1 + V2
Po = $11.3824 + $35.3742
Po = $46.76
Explanation: This is a typical question on valuation of shares with two growth rate regimes. In the first phase, the value of the share would be obtained by capitalizing the dividend for each year by the cost of equity of the company. The dividend for year 1 to year 5 was obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid(Do) to growth rate. The growth rate In the first regime was 20%.
In the second phase, the value of shares would be calculated by taking cognizance of the second growth rate of 2%. In this phase, the last dividend paid in year 5 would be discounted at the appropriate discount rate after it has been adjusted for growth.
Answer:
Unitary prime cost= $170.24
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Last month, direct materials (electronic components, etc.) costing $550,000 were put into production.
Direct labor= $880,000.
Manufacturing overhead equaled $495,000
The company manufactured 8,400 television sets during the month.
Unitary prime cost= (direct material + direct labor)/number of units
Unitary prime cost= (550000 + 880000)/8400= $170.24
Answer:
A Recession happened.
Explanation:
When the market sees a recession we see an increase in the unemployment rate due to cyclical unemployment whenever there in a business cycle even though the labor force was constant but in a recession companies face a lot of costs which become higher than their revenue so for example when there is a recession the cost of producing 1 more unit is actually higher than the revenue a firm gets from producing that 1 unit because marginal cost increases at a decreasing rate so they have to lay off people at a firm on that unit of production to maximize revenues.
Answer:
$14,400
Explanation:
The computation of the current book value of the machine is shown below:-
Value of the Machine two Years ago = $ 18,000
Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value ÷ Useful Life
= ($18,000 - 0) ÷ 10
= $ 1,800
Depreciation for two years = $1,800 × 2
= $ 3,600
The Current Book Value = Cost - Depreciation for two years
= $18,000 - $3,600
= $14,400
