Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Dividend, D0 =$1.20
Price, P0 = $50.00
Growth rate, g = 6% (constant)
Based on the DCF approach, then
Cost of Equity:
= [D0 × (1 + g) ÷ P0] + g
= [(1.20 × (1 + 0.06)) ÷ 50] + 0.06
= (1.272 ÷ 50) + 0.06
= 0.02544 + 0.06
= 0.08544 or 8.54%
Hence, the cost of equity from retained earnings is 8.54%.
Answer:
At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.
Explanation:
The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.
Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.
Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
Answer:
A. KSFs are often necessary, but not sufficient for competitive advantage.
Explanation:
KSF
Key Success Factors (KSFs) represent business functions, practices or business activities as defined or seen by the customers or the market as being important or crucial to the development of consumer/business relationship.

It becomes obvious that although important (from the view of the market or consumers who patronize the business), a business must makes its own due diligence in form of SWOT analysis among others to have the required competitive advantage.
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
The company’s cash flow from operating activities for the year 2019 is computed as follows;
Net income $200,000
Add:
Depreciation 35,000
Amortization of patent 10,000
loss on the sale of equipment 5,000
Total cash provided by operating activities $250,000
*Depreciation expense, amortization expense and loss on sale on equipment are all non cash transaction which cause a decrease on net income. Thus if we want to know the actual cash activities for the year, we have to add it back to the Net income to arrive the correct answer.
Answer:
$201,302
Explanation:
Calculation for How much must he invest today if the first withdrawal is at year-end
First step is to calculate (FVF-OAn,i) using financial calculation
R = 30,000
n = 10
i = 8%
(FVF-OAn,i)=(6.71008)
Now let calculate the amount to be Invested today using this formula
Investment today = R (FVF-OAn,i)
Let plug in the formula
Investment today= 30,000 (6.71008)
Investment today = $201,302
Therefore the amount he must invest today if the first withdrawal is at year-end is $201,302
