Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.

However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.25 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 21% per year - during Years 4 and 5, but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 8% per year.
1. If the required return on Computech is 18%, what is the value of the stock today?

Answer:

$10.98

Explanation:

Dividend per year;

D1 to D2 = 0

D3 = 1.25

D4 = 1.25 (1.21) = 1.5125

D5 = 1.5125 (1.21) = 1.8301

D6 = 1.8301 (1.08) =1.9765

Find Present values of each dividend at 18% required return;

PV( D1 to D2) = 0

PV( D3) = 1.25/1.18³ = 0.7608

PV( D4) = 1.5125 / (1.18^4) = 0.7801

PV( D5) = 1.8301 / (1.18^5) = 0.8000

PV( D6 onwards) = \frac{\frac{1.9765}{(0.18-0.08)} }{1.18^{5} } \\ \\ =\frac{19.765}{2.2878}

PV( D6 onwards) = 8.6393

Next, sum up the PVs;

= 0 + 0.7608 + 0.7801 + 0.8000 + 8.6393

= 10.98

Therefore, this stock is valued at $10.98

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

mote1985 [20]
The correct answer is - the number of hours he works at each job.
If we have the number of hours he works for each job separately, then we will be able to take out a percentage of the earnings from both of the jobs separately. We will than get the sum of the percentages if both of them, and have the real amount of George's weekly savings.

A general contractor is managing a construction project that will add a new conference room to an existing office building. The
professor190 [17]

Answer:

A) Using a change management system to influence performance

Explanation:

First of all, since the change was proposed by the customer, any delay in the construction project caused by their new request should not trigger the damage clause.

The contractor should use a change management system so the existing baseline is not altered by the delay. A change management system is responsible for managing all the changes that might occur during the project's inception until its completion. It is important that all changes or alterations to the original schedule are properly recorded and authorized (in this case to prevent the damage clause).

By using the change management system, the organization has a standardized methodology for handling changes in the project's schedule. This way any negative impact can be reduced.
