VLD [36.1K]

Answer: $16.69

Explanation:

Using the Dividend growth model, the value is:

= [Dividend 1/ (1 + required return)] + [Dividend 2/ (1 + required return)²] + [Terminal value / (1 + required return)²]

Terminal value = Dividend after 2 years / (required return - growth)

= 2.50/ (14.5% + 0%)

= $17.24

Dividend 1 = 3.60 * ( 1 -30%) Dividend 2 = 2.52 * ( 1 -30%)

= $2.52 = $1.76

Market value = (2.52 / 1.145) + (1.76 / 1.145²) + (17.24/1.145²)

= $16.69

puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet

Lease liability at inception = 676,000

Annual payment made on December 2017 =(100,000)

Balance lease liability on 2017 = 576,000

Lease liability on December 2018

Balance on 2017 =576,000

Factor in 10% discount on lease payment

100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 = (42,400)

Balance on lease liability = 533,600

The current liability portion =

Factoring in the 10% discount =

100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 = 46,640
