An investor estimates that next year's sales for Dursley's Hotels Inc. should amount to about $100 million. The company has 5

Lerok [7]

Answer:

(a) $10 million

(b) $1 per share

(d) 25 %

Explanation:

(a) Estimated net earnings for next year.

Sales next year = $100 million

Net profit margin = 10%

Net profit margin = Net Income ÷ Sales

Net Income = 10% × $100 million

= $10 mil lion

(b) Next year's dividends per share.

Dividend payout = Dividends paid ÷ Net Income

= 50%

Dividends paid = $10 × 50%

= $5 mil lion

Per share dividend = Dividend paid ÷ Shares outstanding

= $5 million ÷ 5 million

= $1 per share

Earnings per share:

= Net income ÷ shares outstanding

= $10 million ÷ 5 million

= $2 per share

P/E Ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share

Price per share = $2 × 24.5

= $49

(d) The expected holding period return (latest stock price: $40 per share).

= (Final price - Initial price + Dividend) ÷Initial Price

= ($49 - $40 + $1) ÷ $40

= 25%

A financial institution has entered into an interest rate swap with company X. Under the terms of the swap, it receives 10% per

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The loss of the financial institution is $413,000

Explanation:

Let's say that after 3 years the financial institution will receive:

0.5 * 10% of $10million

= 0.5 * 0.1 * 10000000

= $500,000

Then, they will pay 0.5 * 9% of $10M

= 0.5 * 0.09 * 10000000

= $450,000

Therefore, their immediate loss would be $500000 - $450000

= $50000.

Let's assume that forward rates are realized to value the rest of the swap.

The forward rates = 8% per annum.

Therefore, the remaining cash flows are assumed that floating payment is

0.5*0.08*10000000 =

$400,000

Received net payment would be:

500,000-400,000= $100,000. The total cost of default is therefore the cost of foregoing the following cash flows:

Year 3=$50,000

Year 3.5=$100,000

Year 4 = $100,000

Year 4.5= $100,000

Year 5 = $100,000

Discounting these cash flows to year 3 at 4% per six months, the cost of default would be $413,000

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Cost of material handling and assembling per book shelf = $135.0811

Explanation:

Material Handling = $7,700 for 10,430 parts

Assembling = $10,600 for 10,430 parts

Packaging $2,640 for 1,490 bookshelves.

Each bookshelf consists 77 parts

We need to calculate material handling and assembling cost per book shelf.

Material handling cost per part = $7,700/10,430 = 0.738

Cost for 77 parts = 0.738 X 77 =$56.826

Assembling costs per part = $10,600/10,430 = $1.0163

Cost for 77 parts = $1.0163 X 77 = $78.2551

Cost of material handling and assembling per book shelf = $56.826 + $78.2551 = $135.0811
