Answer: 3%

Explanation:

To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:

= [(126-120)/120] × 100

= 6/120 × 100

= 5%

Real interest rate will now be:

= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate

= 8% - 5%

= 3%

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The price of the stock today or the price at which the stock should sell today is $61.30

Explanation:

The price of the stock today can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model approach which values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock will be,

P0 = 3.15 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.12)  +  3.15  * (1+0.2) * (1+0.15)  /  (1+0.12)^2  +  

3.15 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) / (1+0.12)^3  +  

[(3.15 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.15) * (1+0.1) * (1+0.05) / (0.12 - 0.05))  / (1+0.12)^3]

P0 = $61.296 rounded off to $61.30

Casey Electronics has a piece of machinery that costs $300,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 6 years or 40,000 hours.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

None of the given options.

Depreciation expense for year 1 would be $37,500.

Explanation:

Cost = $400,000

Residual value = $50,000  

Expected hours = 40,000

Working hours (year 1) = 6,000 hours  

Now,  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Expected hours}  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{300,000 - 50,000}{40,000}  

Depreciation per hour = \frac{250,000}{40,000}  

Depreciation per hour = $6.25

Depreciation expense (year 1) = Depreciation per hour × Working hours (year 1)

Depreciation expense (year 1) = $6.25 × 6,000

Depreciation expense (year 1) = $37,500

Hi guys, i need urgently some help with this question
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Accounting rate of return, also known as the Average rate of return, or ARR is a financial ratio used in capital budgeting. The ratio does not take into account the concept of time value of money. ARR calculates the return, generated from net income of the proposed capital investment. The ARR is a percentage return. Say, if ARR = 7%, then it means that the project is expected to earn seven cents out of each dollar invested (yearly). If the ARR is equal to or greater than the required rate of return, the project is acceptable. If it is less than the desired rate, it should be rejected. When comparing investments, the higher the ARR, the more attractive the investment. More than half of large firms calculate ARR when appraising projects.
