million shares outstanding, generates a net profit margin of about 10%, and has a payout ratio of 50%. All figures are expected to hold for next year. Given this information, compute the following.
a. Estimated net earnings for next year.
b. Next year's dividends per share.
c. The expected price of the stock (assuming the P/E ratio is 24.5 times earnings).
d. The expected holding period return (latest stock price: $40 per share).

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%

On February 1, 2020, Pat Weaver Inc. (PWI) issued 7%, $1,200,000 bonds for $1,500,000. PWI retired all of these bonds on January

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

$55,200 gain

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much gain or loss should be recognized on this bond retirement

First step is to determine the Book value on date of sale

Book value on date of sale=$1,200,000+$127,200

Book value on date of sale=$1,327,200

Second step is to calculate the Retired value of bonds

Retired value of bonds =$1,200,000*106

Retired value of bonds=$1,272,000

Now let determine the Gain on bonds retirement

Using this formula

Gain on bond retirement=Book value on date of sale-Retired value of bonds

Let plug in the formula

Gain on bond retirement=$1,327,200-$1,272,000

Gain on bond retirement=$55,200 gain

Therefore the amount of gain that should be recognized on this bond retirement will be $55,200 gain

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

the artist should make the elegant version since the expected profits are higher

Explanation:

elegant version:

expected revenue = (400 x $150 x 40%) + (350 x $110 x 60%) = $47,100

expected profits = $47,100 - $30,000 = <u>$17,100</u>

deluxe version:

expected revenue = (500 x $110 x 40%) + (450 x $70 x 60%) = $47,100

expected profits = $42,250 - $30,000 = $12,250

Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of wa

Radda [10]

Answer:

$1170839.28 dyn/cm^2$

16.9816 psia

$117.083928 kN/m^2$

Explanation:

To calculate the absolute pressure in the bottom of tube we need to sum the atmosferic and gauge pressure.

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G$

And the gauge pressure is given by the contributions of columns of water ( $P_{w}$ ) and mercury( $P_{Hg}$ ), we can calculate the contribution of each column as:

$P= \rho g h$ (*)

where $\rho$ is the respective density, g gravity and h is height.

So we have all the data required to use the above equations ( $P_{atm}$ , height and density of each column) we only need to be carefully with the units.

For simplicity we can to express all pressure contributions in mmHg ( $P_{atm}$ , $P_{w}$ and $P_{Hg}$ ). Note that the units "x" mmHg means the pressure at the bottom of a column of mercury of "x" mm high. For example, in this case we have a column 12.1 cm of Hg, that is a column of 121 mmHg (passing from cm to mm only requires multiply by 10) pressure exerted by that column is 121 mmHg.

Now pressure of 5.6 cm (56 mm) of water would be 56 mm of water, but it is not the same that mmHg, since the density of water is lower, the pressure exerted by 1 mm of water is lower than the exerted by 1 mm of Hg. The conversion between mmHg and mm of water is given by the relation between the densities.

$mmHg=\frac{\rho_w*mmH_2O}{\rho_{Hg}}$

$mmHg=\frac{0.998*mmH_2O}{13.55}=0.0737 mmH_2O$

And pressure of water in mmHg is

$0.0737*56=4.1246 mmHg$

The absolute pressure is:

$P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_G= 756 + 121 + 4.1246 = 881.1246 mmHg = 88.11246cmHg$

To pass to dyn/cm^2 units we need to use the equation (*)

$P= \rho g h = 13.55 \frac{g}{cm^3} * 980.665 \frac{cm}{s^2} * 88.11246 cmHg = 1170839.28 \frac{g}{cm s^2} = 1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2}$

Note: We need to use cm Hg for units coherence

Now passing from dyn/ $cm^2$ to kN/ $m^2$ (or kPa) we need to consider that 1 dyn is $10^{-8}$ kN and 1 $cm^2$ is $10^{-4} m^2$ .

$1170839.28 \frac{dyn}{cm^2} * \frac{10^{-8}kN}{1 dyn}*\frac{cm^2}{10^{-4}m^2}=117.083928kN/m^2$

Now passing kN/ $m^2$ to psia. We need to consider that 1 psia is 6.89476.

$117.083928kN/m^2*\frac{1psia}{6.89476kN/m^2}=16.9816 psia$
