Answer:

option (d) 2400

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Initial book value = $12,000

Salvage value = $2000

Useful life = 5 years

Thus,

Using the straight line method of depreciation

Annual depreciation = [Cost - Salvage value] ÷ Useful life

= [ $12,000 - $2,000 ] ÷ 5

= $2,000

Accumulated Depreciation for 3 years

= Annual depreciation × Time

= $2,000 × 3

= $6,000

Book value after 3 years = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

= $12,000 - $6,000

= $6,000

Remaining useful life = 2 years

Reduced Salvage value after 3 years = $1,200

Therefore,

Depreciable value of the Asset = Book value - Reduced salvage value

= $6,000 - $1,200

= $4,800

Revised depreciation to be charged every year

= Depreciable value of the Asset ÷ (Remaining useful life)

= $4,800 ÷ 2

= $2,400

Hence,

The correct answer is option (d) 2400

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct choice is C)

The most logical thing to do would be to calculate the value of the stock in 5 years time.

Explanation:

This speaks to ones understanding of dividend growth stock valuation models. These tools are used to establish a fair value for a stock by discounting the present value of its future dividends. A commonly used model is the constant growth dividend discount model.

The formula for the DDM, which assumes constant growth in dividends, is provided below.

P0 = D1/(r-g)

Where,

P0 = intrinsic value of stock

D1 = dividend payment one year from today

r = discount rate

g = growth rate

Identifying the correct answer entails establishing a timeline of the expected cash flows. We are given the following information:

t0 = $0

t1 = $0

t2 = $0

t3 = $0

t4 = $0

t5 = $0.20

t6 = $0.20 * 1.035

Given a rate of return, we could use the constant growth dividend discount model to establish the fair value of the firm at t5 (five years from today). Incidentally, to determine today's value, we'd discount it back another five years.

Based on the information above,  we are able to prove that the answer is '5'.

Cheers!
