8 0

Answer:

Ans. rate of return= 7.37%

Explanation:

The easiest way to find this discount rate is to set a MS Excel sheet and use the function "Find Goal". In the attachments, there is a spreadsheet that I got ready for you. There are 2 cells in color, one is yellow and the other one is green. You just go ahead and replace the value of the green cell with any percentage that you want, for example, 2%, then use the function "find goal" and set the objective cell to be the yellow cell (B5), changing the cell in green (B7), and hit enter.

Best of luck.

On November 1, 2016, Cullumber Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $78500 with an estimated 10-yea
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$7,000

Explanation:

Depreciation: The depreciation is an expense that shows a reduction in the value of the fixed assets due to tear and wear, obsolesce, usage, time period, etc. It is shown on the debit side of the income statement. It is a non-cash item that does not affect the cash balance.  

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($78,500 - $8,500) ÷ (10 years)

= ($70,000) ÷ (10 years)  

= $7,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded
PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000

Answer:

Drops by 10,000 DVRs

Explanation:

The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by

Q= 250- .25p+4pc

Where

Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers

P represents the price of DVR

pc represents the price of cable television

Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce

If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by

= 0.25×40×1000

= 10×1000

= 10,000 units

Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40

The last dividend paid by Wilden Corporation was $1.55. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 1.5% for 2 years,
shtirl [24]

Answer:

e)  $37.05

Explanation:

Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.

So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula

P = D (1+g)/r-g

r- rate of return, g = growth rate

Present value of the future dividends:

PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)

                     = 1.4047

PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)

                     =  1.27

PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)

=43.114

Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

  =43.114 × (1.12^(-2))

   = 34.37

Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37

                                       = $37.05

Note

To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0

Illinois Company is attempting to develop the cost function for repair costs. The following past data are available: Machine Hou
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$480

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Machine              Hours Repair Costs

2,400                       $6,385

1,200                        $3,480

2,000                       $5,285

3,400                       $8,980

Now,

                       Machine              Hours Repair Costs

Highest             3,400                       $8,980

Lowest              1,200                        $3,480

Difference        2,200                       $5,500

Unit variable cost =  $5,500 ÷ 2,200

= $2.5

Total cost at high level = $8,980

Machine hours highest level = 3,400

Also,

Total cost at high level = Fixed cost + Variable cost at highest level

or

$8,980 = Fixed cost + [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]

or

Fixed cost = $8,980 -  [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]

= $8,980 - $8,500

= $480
