Answer:

The correct answer is $65.90 (approx.)

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Dividend paid = $8.50

Increase dividend = $6.50 per year

Require return = 16%

We can calculate the current share price by using following method:

=[($8.5 + $6.5) ÷ (1 + 16%)^1] + [($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) ÷ ( 1 + 16%)^2] +[($8.5 + $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) ÷ (1+16%)^3] + [($8.5 + $6.5+ $6.5 + $6.5 + $6.5) ÷ (1+16%)^4

= $15 ÷ 1.16 + $21.5 ÷ 1.16^2 + 28 ÷ 1.16^3 + 34.5 ÷ 1.16^4

= $65.90 (approx.)

Natali [406]

Answer:

1. Variable cost is $0.061 or 6.1 cents per unit

  Fixed Cost is $12,654

2. Y = $12,654 + $0.061X

3. $21,316

Explanation:

1.

Cost at 171,000 km = 171,000 x $13.5/100 = $23,085

Cost at 114,000 km = 114,000 x $17.2/100 = $19,608

High low method separates the fixed cost and variable cost using net of Highest activity level and Lowest activity level and net of their relevant costs.

According to High low method

Variable cost per unit = ( Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost ) / ( Highest Activity - Lowest activity )

Variable cost per unit  = ( $23,085 - $19,608 ) / ( 171,000 - 114,000 )

Variable cost per unit  = $3,477 / 57,000

Variable cost per unit  = $0.061

Fixed operating cost = Total cost - Total Variable cost = $19,608 - ( 114,000 x $0.061 ) = $12,654

2.

Y = a + bX.

Y = Total cost

a = Fixed cost = $12654

b = Variable cost per unit = $0.061 or 6.1 cents

Y = $12,654 + $0.061X

3

Total Distance travelled = X = 142,000 km

Y = $12,654 + $0.061 ( 142,000)

Y = $12,654 + $8,662

Y = $21,316

Total Cost is $21,316

A company would like to evaluate two incentive schemes that take effect once the worker exceeds standard performance. In the fir
Lerok [7]

Answer:

B) plan 1 : worker earning  y = x - 0.14  ,  unit labor = \frac{x-(0.14)}{x}

   plan 2 : worker earning y  = 0.5x + 0.5, unit labor = (0.5x + 0.5) / x

C) At 128%

D ) plan D IS PREFERABLE

Explanation:

In the first case Benefits are split : 30% to worker , 70% to company ( up to 120% ) performance

In the second case benefits 50% go to the worker and 50% go the company

B) The equations for worker earnings and normalized unit labor costs for each scheme

Plan 1 :

y  ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1

unit labor cost = Y / 1

y = 0 - 30

unit labor = 0.3 / x

y = x - 0.14  therefore unit labor = \frac{x-(0.14)}{x}

plan 2 :

y  ( percentage earning of worker ) = 1,   y  = 0.5x + 0.5

unit labor cost :  Y / 1  =  (0.5x + 0.5) / x

C )  The point at which the two plans break even

0.5x + 0.5 = x - 0.14

0.5 + 0.14 = x - 0.5x

0.64 = x(1 - 0.5 )

x = 0.64 / 0.5 =  1.28 = 128%

D) The company would prefer plan 1

At a sales level of $270,000, the magnitude of operating leverage for the Cake Factory is 2.8. If sales increase by 15%, profits
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Increase in profit will be 42 %

So option (C) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given sales level is $270000

Operating leverage for the factory is given 2.8

It is given that sales is increased by 15 %

We have to find that by how much percentage profit will increase

Increase in profit percentage is given by multiplication of operating leverage and increase in profit sale

So increase in profit will be equal to 2.8 ×15 = 42 %

So option (C) will be correct answer
