Given that Jenny earned $44,500 in 2016.

Her contribution to the Social Security is given by: 6.2% of $44,500 = 0.062 x 44500 = $2,759

Her employer's contribution to the Social Security is given by: 6.2% of $44,500 = 0.062 x 44500 = $2,759

Her contribution to the medicare is given by: 1.45% of $44,500 = 0.0145 x 44500 = $645.25

Her employer's contribution to the Social Security is given by: 1.45% of $44,500 = 0.0145 x 44500 = $645.25

Therefore, her total FICA tax is 2(2,759) + 2(645.25) = $5,518 + $1,290.50 = $6,808.50

Schnusenberg Corporation just paid a dividend of D0 = $0.75 per share, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

$9.7408

Explanation:

For computing the current stock price, first we have to determine the cost of equity which is shown below:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4.5% + 1.70 × (10.50% - 4.5%)

= 4.5% + 1.70 × 6%

= 4.5% + 10.2%

= 14.7%

Now the current stock price would be

Cost of equity = Next year dividend ÷ current stock price + growth rate

14.7% = $0.79875 ÷ current stock price + 6.5%

14.7% - 6.5% = $0.79875 ÷ current stock price

8.2% = $0.79875 ÷ current stock price

So, the current stock price would be

= $9.7408

Direct costs are costs that are exclusively incurred for the purpose of producing or buying a certain good or service, in fact, the cost came into being because of the existence of whatever is being costed. any cost that is not direct cost is indirect cost.
