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%
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
If the demand for a product is elastic the tax burden will be borne by the producer. This is because elastic demand means that an increase in the price will lead to a more than proportionate reduction in the quantity demanded. So with the imposition of a tax, the sellers will not increase the price as it is likely to reduce demand.
If the demand is inelastic, it means that an increase in price will lead to less than a proportionate decrease in the demand. In this situation, after the imposition of tax, the tax burden can be shared between producer and buyer.
Answer:
The amount that Lena will invest in fund B would be $4000.
Explanation:
Given information -
Amount invested in fund A - $6000
Return earned on fund A - 6%
Let us assume amount invested in fund B be x
Return earned on fund B - 1%
Return on both funds together - 4%
Let us assume the total amount of fund invested be ($6000 + x)
Now using simple equation , we will take out the value of x which is the amount invested in fund B -
$6000 X 6% + x X 1% = 4% ( $6000 + x )
= $360 + .01 x = $240 + .04 x
= $360 - $240 = .04 x - .01 x
$120 = .03 x
x = $120 / .03
= $4000.
Answer:
a. 1.5 and 1.8
b. Montana
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the current ratio:
a. Formula used, Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current ratio of Kansas = 59000 / 40000 = 1.5
Current ratio of Montana = 78000 / 43000 = 1.8
b. The company that has a higher current ratio will have a greater likelihood to pay bills so Montana is the correct answer.
