Answer:
$24.18
Explanation:
Dividend for year 0 = $2.2
Dividend at year end 1 = $2.2
Dividend at year end 2 = $2.2(1 + .05) = 2.31
Dividend at year end 3 = $2.31 (1 + .05) = 2.4255
Dividend at year end 4 = $2.4255 (1 + .17)= 2.8378
Dividend at year end 5 = $2.8375 (1 + .09)= 3.0932
Dividend at year end 6 = $3.0932 (1 + .09) = 3.371

where MPS = Market price of share 
           D= Dividend for different years
           k = Cost of equity 
           g= constant growth rate after year 5
putting values in above equation we get,
MPS = 1.864 + 1.65 + 1.478 + 1.463 + 1.352 + 0.4371 × 37.462
MPS = $24.18

Answer:
The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550
Explanation:
The total recorded cost of the automatic equipment has to include the purchase cost and other additional associated costs that come with the equipment. This can be expressed as;
T=P+A
where;
T=total cost
P=purchase cost/invoice cost
A=additional costs(electrical work cost+delivery cost+sales tax+repair cost)
In our case;
T=unknown
P=$190,000
A=(20,000+4,000+13,700+1,850)=$39,550
replacing;
T=190,000+39,550=229,550
The total cost=$229,550
The cost recorded for the equipment=$229,550
 
        
             
        
        
        
Complete Question:
A 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. Which is the BEST recommendation?
Group of answer choices.
A. Mid-cap common stock
B. Municipal bond
C. Bank CD
D. Treasure STRIPS
Answer:
C. Bank CD
Explanation:
In this scenario, a 60-year old retiree is in a very low tax bracket. He has a low risk tolerance and wishes to make an investment that will provide income. A Bank certificate of deposit (CD) is the best recommendation.
A bank certificate of deposit (CD) can be defined as a secured form of time-bound deposit and a special low-risk savings account, wherein money (lump-sum) are left with the bank for a specific period of time in exchange for an interest rate premium.
Generally, a certificate of deposit pays a higher interest rate to its holder than the regular savings account because the banks invest the money in a business.
<em>Additionally, the bank certificate of deposit is protected and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000.</em>
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$19.21
Explanation:
The computation of the unit cost per item is as follows:
Beginning merchandise inventory $52,000
Add: Purchases + freight in   $293,000  ($280,000 + $13,000)
Less: Ending merchandise inventory	-$54,900
Cost of goods sold     $290,100
Now the cost of goods sold per unit is 
= $277,100 ÷ 15,100 units
=  $19.21
