Answer:

1.What is the dividend for the 1st year?

$2.67

2.What is the dividend for the 2nd year?

$3.31

3.What is the dividend for the 3rd year?

$3.90

4.What is the dividend for the 4th year?

$4.60

5.What is the dividend for the 5th year?

$5.43

6.Compute the present value of these dividends if the required rate of return is 14 percent.

1. $2.34

2. $2.54

3. $2.63

4. $2.73

5. $2.82

Explanation:

Last Dividend paid = $2.15

Growth rate:

First two years = 24%

Following three years = 18%

FV of Dividend = PV ( 1 + g )^n

1.

Dividend for the 1st year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^1 = $2.67

2.

Dividend for the 2nd year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^2 = $3.31

3.

Dividend for the 3rd year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^1 = $3.90

4.

Dividend for the 4th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^2 = $4.60

5.

Dividend for the 5th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^3 = $5.43

6.The present value of these dividends

Present value of dividends can be calculated by following formula:

PV  = FV / ( 1 + r )^n

FV = Dividend for the year

r = rate of return = 14%

n = number of years

1.      PV = $2.98 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^1 = $2.98 / ( 1.14 )^1 = $2.98 / 1.14 = $2.34

2.      PV = $3.31 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^2 = $3.31 / ( 1.14 )^2 = $3.31 / 1.2996 = $2.54

3.      PV = $3.90 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^3 = $3.90 / ( 1.14 )^3 = $3.90 / 1.481544 = $2.63

4.      PV = $4.60 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^4 = $4.60 / ( 1.14 )^4 = $4.60 / 1.68896 = $2.73

5.      PV = $5.43 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^5 = $5.43 / ( 1.14 )^5 = $5.43 / 1.925416 = $2.82

Assume that an investor purchased a put option on BP with an exercise price of $1.900 for $0.0215 per unit. There are 31,250 uni
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a. $203.125

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the net profit/loss on this option to the investor

Net profit/loss=((1.900 - 1.885) - 0.0215)(31,250)

Net profit/loss=(0.015-0.0215)*31,250

Net profit/loss=0.0065*31,250

Net profit/loss=$203.125

Therefore the net profit/loss on this option to the investor will be $203.125

1-a. The total time available on the plastic injection molding machine is the constraint in the production process. What is the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

Answer:

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}

Constraint: Time available on plastic injection moulding machine

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Processing time per unit (minutes) 2 5 4

Contribution Margin unit of constraint 70 (140/2) 32 (160/5) 50

1-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

Manufacturing the <u>Ski Guard</u> would be the <u>most profitable use</u> of this constraint since it has <u>the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($70 per unit).</u>

1-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The <u>Golf Guard</u> would be the least profitable use of this constraint since it has the <u>least contribution margin per unit of constraint, at $32 per unit</u>.

2a. A severe shortage of plastic pellets has required the company to cut back its production so much that the plastic injection molding machine is no longer the bottleneck. Instead, the constraint is the total available pounds of plastic pellets. What is contribution margin per unit of the constrained resources for Ski Guard, Golf Guard and Fishing Guard?

We need to need to find the contribution margin for each product.

Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Then we need to find contribution margin per unit of constrained resources with the following formula:

Contribution Margin per unit of constrained resource = \frac{Contribution margin per unit}{Resource needed per unit of product}

Constraint: Pounds of plastic pellets

Ski Guard Golf guard Fishing guard

Selling Price per unit 200 300 255

Less: Variable Cost 60 140 55

Contribution Margin 140 160 200

Plastic pellets per unit (pounds) 7 4 8

Contribution Margin per pound 20 (140/7) 40 (160/4) 25 (200/8)

2-b. Which product would be the most profitable use of this constraint?

The <u>Golf Guard</u> would be the <u>most profitable use</u> of this constraint since it has <u>the maximum contribution margin per unit of constraint, ($40 per unit).</u>

2-c. Which product would be the least profitable use of this constraint?

The <u>SkiGuard</u>, with a contribution margin of <u>$20 per pound</u> of plastic would be the <u>least profitable</u> use of this constraint.

3. Which product has the largest unit contribution margin?

Answer : The <u>fishing guard</u> has the <u>largest per unit contribution margin </u>at <u>$200.</u>

Fixed costs for a product are $60,000. The product itself sells for $4.00 and it costs $1.00 to make each product. How will the
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The break-even point in units will increase by 400 units.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $60,000

Selling price= $4.00

Unitary variable cost= $1

First, we need to calculate the current break-even point for the current situation.

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 6,000 / (4 - 1)

Break-even point in units= 2,000 units

<u>Now, the unitary variable cost is $1.5</u>

<u></u>

Break-even point in units= 6,000 / (4 - 1.5)

Break-even point in units= 2,400 units

The break-even point in units will increase by 400 units.
