Answer: Manufacturers follow four steps to implement a manufacturing overhead allocation system. The last step is to: " B. Allocate some manufacturing overhead to each individual job ".
Explanation: The steps to implement a manufacturing overhead allocation system are:
1) Obtain a detailed list of all general manufacturing costs.
2) Choose an allocation base (machine hours, direct labor hours) to divide the general factory costs by this allocation base and assign general costs to each production unit.
3) The total allocation base is divided by the units produced to know the amount of manufacturing overhead associated with each unit.
4)"B. Assign some general manufacturing expenses to each individual job." For example, product X requires 2 hours of work to produce it and product Y one hour, higher general manufacturing costs will be assigned to product X
Answer: Trade policies are coordinated and there are less restrictions on imports and exports.
Explanation:
An economic community is an agreement entered into by countries to enable higher cooperation in areas of politics and economic activities. In an economic community, the charges placed on import and export among member nations is minimal. An example of an economic community is the ECOWAS.
Answer:
P0 = $77.397794 rounded off to $77.40
Explanation:
The two stage growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n + [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]
Where,
- g1 is the initial growth rate
- g2 is the constant growth rate
- D0 is the dividend paid today or most recently
- r is the required rate of return
P0 = 1.89 * (1+0.23) / (1+0.15) + 1.89 * (1+0.23)^2 / (1+0.15)^2 +
1.89 * (1+0.23)^3 / (1+0.15)^3 +
1.89 * (1+0.23)^4 / (1+0.15)^4 +
1.89 * (1+0.23)^5 / (1+0.15)^5 + 1.89 * (1+0.23)^6 / (1+0.15)^6 +
1.89 * (1+0.23)^7 / (1+0.15)^7 + 1.89 * (1+0.23)^8 / (1+0.15)^8 +
1.89 * (1+0.23)^9 / (1+0.15)^9 + 1.89 * (1+0.23)^10 / (1+0.15)^10 +
[(1.89 * (1+0.23)^10 * (1+0.07) / (0.15- 0.07)) / (1+0.15)^10]
P0 = $77.397794 rounded off to $77.40
Answer: $32.70
Explanation:
According to the dividend discount model, the value of the stock today is the present value of the dividends to be paid plus the present value of the value of the dividend from when the company starts maintaining a stable growth rate which in this question in year 2.
= (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))
Value at year 2 = Year 3 dividend / ( required return - growth rate)
= ( Year 2 dividend * (1 + g)) / ( required return - growth rate)
= (2.46* ( 1 + 0.039)) / ( 0.113 - 0.039)
= $34.54
Value today = (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))
= 3.15/1.113 + 2.46/1.113² + 34.54/1.113²
= 2.83 + 1.99 + 27.88
= $32.70
