Answer:
BenchMark, Inc.
The current share price for the stock is:
$43.13
Explanation:
Dividend per share = $3.45
Growth rate = 5%
Investors' required rate of return = 13%
Stock value = Dividend per share / (Required Rate of Return – Dividend Growth Rate)
= $3.45/(0.13 - 0.05)
= $43.13
b) To determine BenchMark, Inc.'s current share price divide the dividend per share by the required rate of return after subtracting the growth rate from the required rate of return.
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day
Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day
Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days
z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)
Normal consumption during lead-time:
= Mean daily demand × Lead time
= 20 × 9
= 180 units of calculator
Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)
= 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)
= 1.65 × 4 × 3
= 19.8 units
Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock
= 180 units + 19.8 units
= 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)
Answer: (a) $295 million
(b) $326 million
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales = $900 million during 2016
Cash = $871 million
Cost of goods sold = $280 million
Expenses for the year totaled = $325 million
Paid for Inventory = $375 million
Paid for everything else = $285 million
Beginning cash = $115 million
(a) Net Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Expenses for the year totaled
= $900 - $280 - $325
= $295 million
(b) Carter's cash balance at the end of 2016:
= Cash + Beginning cash - Paid for Inventory - Paid for everything else
= $871 + $115 - $375 - $285
= $326 million

Answer: a
Explanation:
Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. While financial reports do not show opportunity cost, business owners can use it to make educated decisions when they have multiple options before them.
Because by definition they are unseen, opportunity costs can be easily overlooked if one is not careful. Understanding the potential missed opportunities foregone by choosing one investment over another allows for better decision-making.
Opportunity cost analysis also plays a crucial role in determining a business's capital structure. While both debt and equity require expense to compensate lenders and shareholders for the risk of investment, each also carries an opportunity cost. Funds used to make payments on loans, for example, are not being invested in stocks or bonds, which offer the potential for investment income. The company must decide if the expansion made by the leveraging power of debt will generate greater profits than it could make through investments.
