Answer:
9.68 percent
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's cost of equity
Using this formula
Cost of equity=[(Annual dividend×Increase in dividends×/Current price of common stock]+Dividends
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity=[($1.22 × 1.024)/$17.15] + 0.024
Cost of equity=($1.24928/$17.15)+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0728+0.024
Cost of equity=0.0968*100
Cost of equity=9.68 percent
Therefore the firm's cost of equity is 9.68 percent
Answer:
1.37
Explanation:
Given that
Operating income = $45,900
Variable expenses = 10%
Fixed expenses = $17,100
The calculation of operating income is shown below:-
Contribution margin = Operating income + Fixed expenses
= $45,900 + $17,100
= $63,000
So, Operating leverage = Contribution margin ÷ Operating income
= $63,000 ÷ $45,900
= 1.37
