A firm achieves differentiation parity ideally when it sells its products or services at a higher price than its competitors.  

The idea of parity is that a company sells its products at a higher cost than competitors even though the product or service isn't unique. Differentiation is when one companies products compete and are better than another with the same product.

The market capitalization treasure on the stock of flex steel company is 12%. the expected ROE is 13% and the expected EPS are 3
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a. ROE (r) = 13% = 0.13

EPS = $3.60

Expected dividend (D1) = 50% x $3.60 = $1.80

Plowback ratio (b) = 50% = 0.50

Cost of equity (ke) = 12% = 0.12

Growth rate = r x b

Growth rate = 0.13 x 0.50 = 0.065

Po= D1/Ke-g

Po = $1.80/0.12-0.065

Po = $1.80/0.055

Po = $32.73

P/E ratio = <u>Current market price per share</u>

                  Earnings per share

P/E ratio = <u>$32.73</u>

                 $3.60

P/E ratio = 9.09        

b.  ER(S) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)

    ER(S) = 5 + 1.2(13 - 5)

    ER(S) = 5 + 9.6

    ER(S) = 14.6%

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Explanation:

In the first part of the question, there is need to calculate the expected dividend, which is dividend pay-our ratio of 50% multiplied by earnings per share. We also need to calculate the growth rate, which is plowback ratio multiplied by ROE. Then, we will calculate the current market price, which equals expected dividend divided by the difference between return on stock (Ke) and growth rate. Finally, the price-earnings ratio is calculated as current market price per share divided by earnings per share.

In the second part of the question, Cost of equity (return on stock) is a function of risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by market risk-premium. Market risk premium is market return minus risk-free rate.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Cost of goods Sold = $384,000

Gross Profit = $259,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Net Purchase - Closing Inventory

Opening Inventory = $58,100  Closing Inventory = $92,600

Net Purchases = Purchase - Purchase Return - Discounts + Freight in

Freight in forms part of cost of purchase because without this expense inventory cannot be bought in.

Net Purchases = $420,800 - $11,900 - $8,100 + $17,700 = $418,500

Cost of goods Sold = $58,100 + $418,500 - $92,600 = $384,000

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

= $643,000 - $384,000 = $259,000.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

b. $311,600

Explanation:

For the computation of total contribution margin first we need to find out the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:-

Contribution Margin per Unit = Contribution Margin ÷ Units Sold

= 319,200 ÷ 8,400

= $38

Total Contribution Margin = Contribution Margin per Unit × Units Sold

= $38 × 8,200

= $311,600

Therefore for computing the total contribution margin we simply applied the above formula.
