Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Dividend growth model can only be used in a situation where the firm pays a dividend which can tend to grow at constant rates reason been that the stock has been influenced by the growth rates which is involved in the dividends which means the firm can increase the dividends.
Therefore the Dividend that is to be paid next year will be:
$2Growth rates
5 %Rates of return
12% Return on Investment
Formular for the calculation of current price of the stock = D1/(r-g)
Where:
D1=2%
r=12%
g=6%
Hence:
2/ (0.12-0.05)= $ 33.33
=2/0.07
=$28.57
Therefore the amount I should be prepared to pay for the stock today will be $28.57
Answer: a.$10,904 increase
Explanation:
Operating income before sales increase:
= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
= 551,000 - (71% * 551,000) - 207,000
= -$47,210
Operating income after sales increase:
Sales increases to:
= 551,000 + 37,600
= $588,600
= 588,600 - (71% * 588,600) - 207,000
= -$36,306
Difference:
= -47,210 - (-36,306)
= Increase of $10,904
Answer:
The correct option is D,cannot be determined from the data provided
Explanation:
Break-even points in units=fixed costs/contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit =selling price -variable cost
In other words, from the scenario, it is clear that the numerator fixed costs has increased and also a reduction in variable cost per unit implies an increase in contribution margin per unit since a lesser variable cost is being deducted from selling price.
The impact of both increases in fixed costs and contribution margin cannot be determined except if more details is provided which will give further guidance regarding which of the two increased at a higher rate compared to the other.
