Answer: 7.35%
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the market rate of return on this stock will be calculated as:
= (D1/P0) +G
where,
D1= Dividend at year 1 = 2.20
P = price at present =43.19
G = dividend growth rate =2.25%
We then slot the figures into the formula and we will get:
= (D1/P0) +G
= (2.20 / 43.19) + 2.25%
= 0.051 + 2.25%
= 5.1% + 2.25%
= 7.35%
Therefore, the market rate of return will be 7.35%.
Answer:
Explanation:
Because land never depreciates, Western Bank & Trust wanted to distribute a higher percentage of the purchase price to the building, rather than the land. By allocating 90% of the purchase price to the building, rather than a more accurate 70%, Western Bank & Trust increases the depreciation amount of the building each year. For tax purposes, the IRS requires that the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) be used as the depreciation method used by companies. Under this method, the IRS specifies the useful life for a specific asset. MACRS also ignores residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life. By stating that the building was worth 90% of the total purchase price, Western Bank is attempting to increase its tax deduction from the IRS, because only the building depreciates, not the land. This improper allocation of the total purchase amount violates GAAP principles, which require that accounting information be “relevant and have faithful representation.” The information must be “complete, neutral, and free from error” (Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2014). For Western Bank to provide complete, neutral, and free from error information, it should record the transaction honestly: 70% to the building, 30% to the land. This dishonest representation is harmful to the federal government in that it is allowing Western Bank to take more money than what it is owed. If these kinds of situations happen on a large scale, it could have a huge impact on the economy in general. Source: Nobles, T., Mattison, B., & Matsumura, E. M. (2014).

Answer:
The answer is: The overhead variance was $1,700 and it was overapplied
Explanation:
Victryl's estimated overhead cost per labor hour was:
$700,000 / 35,000 = $20 per labor hour
If during February, Victryl had 5,000 direct labor hours, then its estimated cost should have been: $20 x 5,000 = $100,000 estimated overhead cost
The actual overhead cost was $98,300, which is $1,700 less than the estimated cost.
I think the answer is what and for whom.
In order to produce deals, there are 2 components need to be considered by every companies. The suitable product to sell (which answer the 'what' part of the economic question) and other parties that are willing to buy the product that they sell (which answer the 'for whom' part of the economic question)
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
From the question, the demand given is 250,000
For Option A,
Fixed cost = $25000
Variable cost = $0.1 per candle
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Total cost = $25000 + ($0.1 × 250,000)
= $25,000 + $25,000
= $50,000
For Option B,
Fixed cost = $10000,
Variable cost = $0.5 per candle
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Total cost = $10000 + ($0.5 × 250,000)
= $10,000 + $125,000
= $135,000
Therefore, the board should select option A as the total cost is cheaper than option B.
