Answer:

Option D is correct one.

Company X has a lower coefficient of variation than Company Y.

Explanation:

This is because company X has a lower standard deviation of returns than Company Y. Coefficient of variation = standard deviation/mean*100. Also mean of X will be higher as its expected return is higher than Y. So, the numerator (standard deviation) is lower and denominator (mean) is higher in case of X. This will lower its coefficient of variation than Company Y.

Goodwin Technologies, a relatively young comply, has been wildly successful but has yet to pay a dividend. An analyst forecasts
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Horizon value is $22.59  

Intrinsic value is $16.32

Explanation:

D3=1.5000

D4=1.5000*(1+7.8%)

D4=1.6170

D5=1.6170 *(1+7.8%)

D5=1.7431

D6=1.7431 *(1+3.42%)

D6=1.8027

horizon value is the same as the price of the stock(the terminal value) using the dividend in year 6

P=D5*(1+g)/(r-g)

D5=$1.7431

g is the constant growth rate of 3.42%

r is the required rate of return of 11.40%

P=$1.7431*(1+3.42%)/(11.40%-3.42%)

P=$1.8027/0.0798 =$22.59  

Goodwill Technologies share price is $22.59

Current intrinsic value is the dividends payable in relevant years plus the horizon value discount to present value as follows:

Present value of D3                =1.5000/(1+11.40%)^3=$1.0850

present of value of D4            =1.6170 /(1+11.40%)^4=$1.0500

present value of D5                 =1.7431 /(1+11.40%)^5=1.0160

present value of horizon value=$22.59/(1+11.40%)^5=13.1671

Total present values                                                       $16.32

According to a summary of the payroll of Mountain Streaming Co., $110,000 was subject to the 6.0% social security tax and the 1.
MAXImum [283]

a. Calculate the employer's payroll taxes, using the following rates: state unemployment, 5.4%; federal unemployment, 0.8%.

Answer:

$9800

Explanation:

This question requires us to calculate the employer's payroll taxes

His social security tax = $110000*6.0%

= 110000x0.06

=$6600

His Medicare tax = $110000*1.5%

= 110000*0.015

= $1650

His state and federal unemployment tax = 25000 dollars

State = 25000x5.4%

= $1350

Federal = 25000x0.8%

= $200

Total employers payroll tax

$(6600+1650+1350+200)

= $9800

Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system. A single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is comp
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total number of direct labor hours= (1,000*2) + (2,000*7)= 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000 / 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $75 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we allocate overhead to each unit and calculate the unitary cost:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 75*2= $150

Unitary cost= 150 + 8 + 10= $168

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 75*7= $525

Unitary cost= 525 + 6 + 11= $542

<u>Finally, using activity-based costing:</u>

Mercon Wurcon Total

Engineering design time (in hours) 1,000 1,000 2,000

Direct labor-hours 2,000 14,000 16,000

Engineering= 600,000 / 2,000= $300 per design hour

Direct labor= 600,000 / 16,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*2 + 300*1= $375

Unitary cost= 375 + 8 + 10= $393

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*7 + 300*0.5= $412.5

Unitary cost= 412.5 + 6 + 11= $429.5
