Answer:

Required rate of return is 6.97%

Explanation:

The required rate of return can be ascertained from the price formula below when the subject of the formula is changed to rate of return instead of stock price:

Stock price =dividend/required rate of return

stock price is $80.40

required rate of return is unknown

the dividend on the preferred stock is $5.60

required rate of return=dividend/stock price

required rate of return =$5.60/$80.40=6.97%

The required rate of return based on the stock price and dividend information provided is 6.97%

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

a. semi-autonomous

Explanation:

Semi autonomous has a dictionary meaning that states being independent to some defined extent.

In the given instance also Devon thinks that her colleagues or coworkers are somewhere between the two categories, that is up to a certain extent they are really independent in their views. While on the other hand, at some situations their views depend on the things like views of coworkers.

Thus, using the term that the coworkers are semi autonomous is correct as to the concern they can exercise their own powers in half way.

Brick Co. has 170,000 shares of common stock outstanding at January 1, 2015. On May 1, 2015, it issued 30,000 additional shares
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The number of shares that Brick should use to calculate 2015 diluted earnings per share are 202,000 shares

Explanation:

The computation of the number of shares are shown below:

= January 1 shares + may 1 shares + convertible cumulative preferred stock

= 170,000 shares × 4 months ÷ 12 months + 200,000 shares × 8 months ÷ 12 months + 12,000 shares

= $56666.67 + $133,333.33 + $12,000

= $202,000 shares

The 4 months are calculated from January 1 to May 1, 2015

And, the 8 months are calculated from May 1 to December 31

Situation 1: A company offers a one-year warranty for the product that it manufactures. A history of warranty claims has been co
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation below.

Situation 1 and 2 have disclosure while situation 3 does not require any disclosure.

Explanation:

Situation 1. Accrual. The one-year warranty has created what is known as contingent liability. Contingent liability is a type of liability that is dependent on the outcome of some specific actions which has happened in the past. The eventual liability may or may not happen. But since the probable claim from the one-year warranty has been determined, it should be disclosed. But if the claim cannot be determined, it shouldn't be disclosed.

Situation 2. Since this contract happened before the issuance of financial statement and the amount of loss from this contract can be reasonably estimated or determined, then it must be disclosed and the likely amount must also be disclosed. This disclosure will be under 'note to the financial statement'.

Situation 3. This is a self insurance and self insurance is not an insurance. There is no contingent liability in this situation. Also, there is no accident, no injury. Hence, this is no disclosure here.

Suppose Raphael and Susan are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matri
erica [24]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

The Dominant Strategy in a game is the strategy that a player will choose that will provide them with the highest payoff regardless of what the other player does.

In the above, the dominant strategy will be for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT.

By choosing left Raphael makes a payoff of 4 if Susan picks Left as well and a Payoff of 6 if Sudan picks Right. This is better than him picking Right and he will get a Payoff of 3 if Susan chooses Right as well.

The Nash Equilibrium is the strategy where both are making the best that they can given the strategy of the other player and deviating from it will give them less pay out.

The dominant strategy therefore is for RAPHAEL to choose LEFT and for SUSAN to choose RIGHT.

This is because Raphael will pick Left as it maximises their payoff and Susan will then pick a strategy that gives her the highest payoff based on Raphael's decision which is to go RIGHT.
