Answer:

$67.95

Explanation:

First, find the dividend per year;

D1 = $2

D2= $3

D3= $4

D4= D3(1+g) = 4(1.07) = $4.28

Next, find the PV of each dividend given a rate of 12%

PV (D1) =2 / (1.12) = 1.7857

PV (D2) = 3/ (1.12²)= 2.3916

PV (D3) = 4/ (1.12³) = 2.8471

PV (D4 onwards) = \frac{\frac{4.28}{(0.12-0.07)} }{(1.12)^{3} } \\ \\ = \frac{85.6}{1.4049} \\ \\ =60.9296

Price = 1.7857+ 2.3916 + 2.8471 + 60.9296

Therefore, the stock should be worth $67.95

You are told the column totals in a trial balance are not equal. After careful analysis, you discover only one error. Specifical
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

a. The Debit column is correctly stated.

b. The Credit column is understated by $17,300 ($8,650 * 2).

c. The Automobiles account balance is correctly stated in the trial balance.

d. The Accounts Payable account balance is understated in the trial balance by  $17,300 ($8,650 * 2).

e. If the Debit column total of the trial balance is $200,000 before correcting the error, the total of the Credit column before correction is $182,700.

Explanation:

This mistake is an Error of Commission.  It is a problem of arithmetical accuracy, for example, posting to the wrong side of one ledger account.  In this case, the Accounts Payable should have been credited with the amount of $8,650.  As an arithmetic error, it can only be corrected by doubling the affected amount on the Credit side of the Accounts Payable account.

When a firm uses K units of capital and L units of labor, it can produce Q units of output with the production function Q = K√L.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

STC = 20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25*[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2

Explanation:

We are given:

K units of capital and L units of labor.

•Each unit of capital cost = 20

• Each unit of labor cost =25

• Level K is fixed at 5 units

We are told production function Q = K√L

Using the production functions and the values given, we can get that Q=5√L.

To find Q, the amount of labor will be given as:

L = \frac{Q^2}{25}

Therefore, the Short run total cost function (STC) will be:

20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2

What is the present value of the cost of leasing?

Answer:

Cost of lease = $37,179.01

Explanation:

Leasing is a finance arrangement where one party (the lessor) transfers the right to use an asset to another party (the leasse) in exchange for a rent.

The cost of a lease to the leasee is the present value of the future lease payment  discounted at the cost of capital.

So using the present value of annuity formula, we can work out the cost of the lease arrangement as follow:

PV =A×  (1- 1+r)^(-n)/r

PV- Present Value

r- interest rate

n- number of years

A- annual lease payment

PV -

A-7,800

r-7%

n-6

PV = 7,800× (1- (1.07)^(-6)/0.07 =  37,179.01  

Present Value = $37,179.01

Cost of lease = $37,179.01

So as related to the question asked, the answer is D.
