You have fixed cost of $100 whter the machine is used or not and a variable cost of $50 for each hour used. So if you do not use de machine the cost will be $100, if the machine is used 1 hour the cost will be $150 and will increase $50 per aditional hour, until it reaches $500 ($100 + 8*50)

The drawing must have two variables, one is cost and the other is hours.

It is more profitable to continue processing the units.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A:

Units= 23,000

Selling price= $420,000

Continue processing:

Product B= 6,000 units sold for $106 each

Product C= 11,900 units sold for $52 each

Total cost= $280,000

We need to calculate the effect on the income of both options and choose the most profitable on<u>e. We will not take into account the first costs of Product A because they are irrelevant.</u>

Option 1:

Effect on income= $420,000

Option 2:

Effect on income= (6,000*106) + (11,900*52) - 280,000

Effect on income= $974,800

Lerok [7]

Answer:

current share price = $85.96

Explanation:

Find the PV of each dividend

PV= FV / (1+r)^t

r= required return

t= total duration

PV(D1) = 18 / (1.14)= 15.78947

PV(D2) = 14 / (1.14^2) = 10.77255

PV(D3) = 13 / (1.14^3) = 8.774630

PV(D4) = 7.50 / (1.14^4) = 4.44060

PV(D5 onwards) is a two-step process, first PV of growing perpetuity;

PV(D5 onwards) at yr4 =[7.50*(1+0.04) ] / (0.14-0.04) = 78

second, finding PV today ; PV(D5 onwards) at yr 0 = 78 / (1.14^4) = 46.18226

Add the PVs to get the current share price = $85.96
