Answer:

Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278

Explanation:

<em>The price of the stock would be the present value(PV) of the future cash flow expected from it discounted at the required rate of 13%</em>

<em>Hence we would add the present value of he dividend and the resent of he price at the end of the period</em>

PV = CF × (1+r)^(-n)

<em>CF- Cash Flow</em>

<em>R- rate of return- 13%</em>

<em>n- number of years</em>

PV of dividend =  2.60 × (1.13)^(-1) =  2.30

PV of stock price after a year = 120× (1.13)^(-1) = 93.97

Price to pay now for the stock =  2.30 + 93.97 = $96.278

Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

DSO and accounts receivable Ingraham Inc. currently has $205,000 in accounts receivable, and its days sales outstanding is 71 da
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$49,084.51

Explanation:

days of sales outstanding (DSO) = accounts receivable / average daily sales

71 days = $205,000 / (total sales / 365 days)

total sales / 365 days = $205,000 / 71 days

total sales = ($205,000 / 71 days) x 365 days = $1,053,873.24

after the change, annual sales will decrease by 15%:

$1,053,873.24 x (1 - 15%) = $895,792.25

average sales per day = $895,792.25 / 365 = $2,454.23 per day

new DSO = accounts receivable / average sales per day

20 days = accounts receivable / $2,454.23 per day

accounts receivable = $2,454.23 per day x 20 days = $49,084.51

Why aren‘t magazine photos a good representation ofwhat a healthy person looks like?
Arte-miy333 [17]
Magazine photos are not a good representation of what a healthy person looks like because they often show pictures of people who has a skinny and or people who only has built or toned body without having to discuss other factors that should be considered such as mentally or psychologically. They are mostly focused on the physical appearance.

If the expected path of 1-year interest rates over the next five years is 2 percent, 4 percent, 1 percent, 4 percent, and 3 perc
timofeeve [1]

Answer:A) one year

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.

How does money encourage specialization?
svlad2 [7]

Hi I think it might be the second option: <u>You can specialize in mechanics and still be able to feed your family without growing your own food.</u> I say this because the key word specialization used in the question and specialize.

Honestly taking a test with this same question at the moment and i am just taking a wild guess here. Im sorry if i got it wrong but good luck.
