Answer:

The required rate of return is 7.20%

Explanation:

The price of a share that pays a particular dividend amount in perpetuity is given by the below formula:

price of share=dividend/required rate of return

price of share is $91.00 per share

dividend payable in perpetuity is $6.55

required rate of return is unknown

$91=$6.55/required rate of return

required rate of return =$6.55/$91

                                       =7.20%

to confirm the required of return,I divided the by the required rate of return as shown below:

6.55/0.0.72=$90.97 .approximately $91

That is a way to validate the computed required rate of return

Can you breifly explain why stockholders' investment and revenues increase stockholders' equity, while dividends and expenses de
Scilla [17]
From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.

Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.

Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The opportunity cost = $2.5

Explanation:

Given:

You own a building that has four possible uses: a cafe, a craft store, a hardware store, and a bookstore. The value of the building in each use is $2,000; $3,000; $4,000; and $5,000, respectively.You decide to open a hardware store.

<u>Question asked:</u>

The <u>opportunity cost of using this </u><u>building for a hardware store</u> ?

<u>Solution:</u>

As we know:

Opportunity\ cost =\frac{What\ you\ sacrifice}{What\ you\ gain} \\ \\

What you sacrifice = Value of a cafe + Value of a craft store + Value of a bookstore

                              = $2000 + $3000 + $5000 = $10,000

What you gain = Value of a hardware store

                        = $4000

Thus, the opportunity cost of using this building for a hardware store is $2.5

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is debit to Bad Debt Expense.

Explanation:

Taking into account the nature of both accounts, the registration of an account receivable is considered an asset taking into account that it is a callable value for the sale of products or services on credit, for which reason it is recorded in the debit to increase the company rights. In the exposed case, where the debt is considered uncollectible after exhausting many resources, the record is to recognize an expense (debit nature), against a credit to the account receivable with the objective of recognizing in the accounting the loss in the expense and the cancellation of the right in the asset.
