Answer:

e. 14.60%

Explanation:

The computation of Oval's cost of new common equity is shown below:-

Price of stock = Estimated dividends for next period ÷ (Required rate of return - Growth rate)

Dividend =  $1.50 × (1 + 4%)

= $1.56

Price of stock would be the price net of flotation cost

= $16 × (1 - 8%)

= $14.72

Required rate of return

= (1.56 ÷ 14.72) + 0.04

= 14.60%

mixer [17]

Answer:

(a) Current ratio = 2.746

(b) Acid-test ratio = 1.423

(c) Debt to assets ratio = 47.48%  

(d) Return on assets = 6.15%

Explanation:

For Balance Sheet, pleased see attached file.

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Current Ratio = 212,800 / 77,500

Current Ratio = 2.746

Acid-Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Acid-Test Ratio = (212,800 – 102,500) / 77,500

Acid-Test Ratio = 1.423

Debt to Asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = (205,500 / 432,800)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = 47.48%

ROA = (Net Income / Total Assets)*100

ROA = (26,600 / 432,800)*100

ROA = 6.15%

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

The Debt to Assets ratio is a financial ratio that shows how much of a company assets is owed to its creditors.  

ROA is a financial indicator that gives an idea as to how efficient a company's management is at using its assets to generate earnings, by determining how profitable a company is relative to its total assets.

You own 100 shares of Troll Brothers' stock, which currently sells for $120 a share. The company is about to declare a 2-for-1 s
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

You will have 200 shares of stock, and the stock will trade at or near $60 a share.

Explanation:

When a company declares a 2-for-1 stock split, its shares' value is cut by half, while the number of stocks of each share holder doubles.

If, before the split, the stock had a value of $120 per share, after the stock split it will sell for close to $60 a share.

If you previously had a position of 100 shares of Troll Brothers' stock, after the 2-for-1 split you will have 200 shares.

Therefore, you will have 200 shares of stock, and the stock will trade at or near $60 a share.

Direct material quantity variance= (7.5*3,400 - 26,200)*2

Direct material quantity variance= (25,500 - 26,200)*2

Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable
