Answer:
b. Will always be higher than the dividend paid per share
Explanation:
A firm pays dividend to it's stockholders based upon it's earnings.
Earnings per share (EPS) is expressed as:
= 
Dividend payout ratio on the other hand is expressed as:
= EPS (1 - b)
wherein, b = retention ratio which denotes the percentage of earnings retained by a firm i.e not distributed as dividends.
Thus, a firm's earnings per share would always be higher than the dividend paid by it per share.
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 1,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $600
Unitary variable cost= $420
Fixed cost= $270,000
<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 270,000 / (600 - 420)
Break-even point in units= 1,500
Answer:
$400,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the differential revenue if Wilson Co. were to eliminate the Tennis segment
Differential revenue= $200x2,000 units
Differential revenue= $400,000
Therefore the differential revenue if Wilson Co. were to eliminate the Tennis segment will be $400,000
Answer:
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
Explanation:
Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.
The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the market risk premium
We will first calculate the market risk premium using the required rate of return for stock, beta and risk free rate and plugging these values in the formula above.
0.1330 = 0.058 + 1.64 * rpM
0.1330 - 0.058 = 1.64 *rpM
0.075 = 1.64 * rpM
rpM = 0.075 / 1.64
rpM = 0.04573 or 4.573%
As we know that the beta for market is always equal to 1, we can calculate the rate of return for market as,
expected return on market = 0.058 + 1 * 0.04573
expected return on market = 0.10373 or 10.373%
