Answer:

Tuiton real cost incrased by 640%

Explanation:

We divide the nominal cost of each year by the CPI index to get the real cost  on each year (adjusted by inflation)

  250  / 0.48 =   520,8333

8,000 / 2.40 = 3.333,33

The real price of tuiton increase from 520.83 to 3,333.33 which stnad for a percentage increase of:

3,333.33 / 520.83 = 6,4 = 640%

The required return for Williamson Heating's stock is 12%, and the stock sells for $40 per share. The firm just paid a dividend
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

E: 6.34

Explanation:

First we solve for the PV of the next years dividends using the lump sum PV formula:

\frac{Dividends}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

rate = 12%

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Year&dividends&PV\\1&1.3&1.1607\\2&1.69&1.3473\\3&2.197&1.5638\\4&2.8561&1.8151\\\end{array}\right]

Total of 5.8869

Then, this with the PV of the future dividends usign the gordon model should match 40 dollars.

so the PV of the indefinite sum of dividends should be: 40 - 5.8869 = 34.1131

\frac{Dividends_1}{return - growth} = Value

This is four years into the future thus, we discount as well for the rate of return We want ot knwo the value at the fourth year to solve for the grow rate:

34.1131 x 1.12^4 = 53.67762328

Now the formual for the gordon model requires next year dividends thus D0 x 1 + g and we don't know g so we have to operate to solve  it:

\frac{2.8561 \times (1+g)}{0.12-g} =53.67762328\\2.8561 + 2.8561g = 53.67762328 / (0.12 - g)\\g ( 1 + 2.8561/53.67762328) = 0.12 - \frac{2.8561}{53.67762328} \\g = 0.066791608 \div 1.053208392= 0.063417277

The correct answer would be E

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

It is more profitable to upgrade the calculators.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The Tolar Corporation has 500 obsolete desk calculators that are carried in inventory at a total cost of $720,000. If these calculators are upgraded at a total cost of $140,000, they can be sold for a total of $200,000. As an alternative, the calculators can be sold in their present condition for $50,000.

We need to determine whether it is more convenient to upgrade the calculators or sell them as they are.

Upgrade:

Effect on income= 200,000 - 720,000 - 140,000= -$660,000

Not upgrade:

Effect on income= 50,000 - 720,000= -$670,000

It is more profitable to upgrade the calculators.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$10 per hour

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Direct labor hours per year = 27,000

Total indirect cost = $270,000

So, by considering the above formation, the indirect cost allocation rate is

= Total indirect cost ÷ Direct labor hours per year

= $270,000 ÷ 27,000

= $10 per hour

By dividing the total indirect cost by the direct labor hours we can get the indirect cost allocation​ rate

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The above is an incomplete question. From a similar question, we were given cost of goods sold to be $60,800.

Firm's day sales in inventory is computed as;

= (Ending inventory / Cost of goods sold) × 365

Given that;

Ending inventory = $41,000

Cost of goods sold = $60,800

= ($41,000/$60,800) × 365

= 246days
