Answer:

(a) $10 million

(b) $1 per share

(c) $49

(d) 25 %

Explanation:

(a) Estimated net earnings for next year.

Sales next year = $100 million

Net profit margin = 10%

Net profit margin = Net Income ÷ Sales

Net Income = 10% × $100 million

                    = $10 mil lion

(b) Next year's dividends per share.

Dividend payout = Dividends paid ÷ Net Income

                            = 50%

Dividends paid = $10 × 50%

                          = $5 mil lion

Per share dividend = Dividend paid ÷ Shares outstanding

                                = $5 million ÷ 5 million

                                = $1  per share

(c) The expected price of the stock (assuming the P/E ratio is 24.5 times earnings).

Earnings per share:

= Net income ÷ shares outstanding

= $10 million ÷ 5 million

= $2 per share

P/E Ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share

Price per share = $2 × 24.5

                          = $49

(d) The expected holding period return (latest stock price: $40 per share).

= (Final price - Initial price + Dividend) ÷Initial Price

= ($49 - $40 + $1) ÷ $40

= 25%

Which economic system best defines: Lowest amount of economic freedom?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

command economy

Explanation:

In a command economy, the government is the only determinant of what is to be produced, its quantity, and price.  All the factors of production belong to the government. The government or the central authority creates a central plan that guides all country's economic activities and decisions.

The private sector is absent in a command economy. The government is the only employer. Citizens do not have the freedom to choose what to buy, but rather what is available.

Arisa [49]

Explanation:

In this case, Nike is incorporating corporate governance into its business model, which is defined as a model for managing companies using the best market practices, using transparency, equity and social and environmental responsibility as essential parameters.

Companies today are no longer perceived by society as merely profitable entities, it is a social demand that companies assist in the development of society and minimize their impacts on the environment.

When companies develop programs to support society and sustainability, it guarantees the advantages of being better positioned in the market, attracting more investors, adding more value to its products and services and gaining a strategic and competitive advantage in the market.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Total explicit cost = $39,000

Implicit cost = $40,420

Accounting profit = $108,600

Economic profit = $68,180

Explanation:

Total explicit costs will be the total amount spent.

Therefore explicit costs =

Rent + office supplies + office staff + telephone expenses

Explicit costs = 10000 + 1000 + 24000 + 4000 = $39,000

Implicit costs= 40000 + (6000 * 0.07) =$40,420

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit costs

Accounting profit = $147,600 - $39,000 = $108,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total opportunity cost.

(Where total opportunity cost= explicit cost + implicit cost)

Therefore economic profits =

$147,600 - ($39,000+$40,420)

= $68,180.

Therefore,

Total explicit cost = $39,000

Implicit cost = $40,420

Accounting profit = $108,600

Economic profit = $68,180
