B. lower British interest rate levels

C. raise U.S. interest rate levels

A food manufacturer reports the following for two of its divisions for a recent year.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

1. 13.8% and 14.6%

2. 13.6% and 16.5%

3. 1.01 times and 0.88 times

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. Return on investment = Operating Income ÷ Average invested Assets

where, average invested assets would be

= (Invested assets, beginning + Invested assets, ending) ÷ 2

For Beverage Division, it would be

= $366 ÷ {($2,696 + $2,610) ÷ 2}

= $366 ÷ $2,653

= 13.8%

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $651 ÷ {($4,489 + $4,417) ÷ 2}

= $651 ÷ $4,453

= 14.6%

2. Profit margin = (Operating income ÷ sales) × 100

For Beverage Division, it would be

= ($366 ÷ $2,698) × 100

= 13.6%

For Cheese Division, it would be

= ($651 ÷ $3,942) × 100

= 16.5%

3. Investment turnover = Sales ÷ Average Operating Assets

For Beverage Division, it would be

= $2,698 ÷ {($2,696 + $2,610) ÷ 2}

= $2,698 ÷ $2,653

= 1.01 times

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $3,942 ÷ {($4,489 + $4,417) ÷ 2}

= $3,942 ÷ $4,453

= 0.88 times

Eastern Electric currently pays a dividend of about $1.64 per share and sells for $27 a share.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. 9.07%

b. 5.93%

c. 12.07%

Explanation:

Dividend valuation method is used to calculate the the value of stock based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return.

Stock Price = Dividend / ( Rate of return - Growth rate )

a.

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 3% )

Rate of return - 0.03 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.03 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.03

Rate of return = 0.0907 = 9.07%

b.

$27 = $1.64 / ( 12% - Growth rate )

0.12 - Growth rate = $1.64 / $27

0.12 - Growth rate = 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.12 - 0.0607

Growth rate = 0.0593 = 5.93%

c.

$27 = $1.64 / ( Rate of return - 6% )

Rate of return - 0.06 = $1.64 / $27

Rate of return - 0.06 = 0.0607

Rate of return = 0.0607 + 0.06

Rate of return = 0.1207 = 12.07%
