Answer:

option 14.92%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Expected annual dividend to be paid = $0.65

Expected growth rate = 9.50%

Walter’s stock currently trades = $12.00 per share

Now,

Expected rate of return = \frac{\textup{Expected dividend}}{\textup{Stock price}}\times100\% + Growth rate

or

Expected rate of return = \frac{\$0.65}{\$12.00}\times100\% + 9.50%

or

Expected rate of return = ( 0.054167 × 100% ) + 9.50%

or

Expected rate of return = 5.4167% + 9.50%

or

Expected rate of return = 14.9167 ≈ 14.92%

Hence, the correct answer is option 14.92%

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a company successfully offers a product or few products to customers, it tends to expand the range of products it has to offer.

For a <u>company to increase its range of products successfully, it has to realize that it must make corresponding changes to its processes to accommodate the addition of new products.</u>

To manufacture 3,000 pairs of sandals in a week, a firm can use 3,600 workers and 135 machines or 270 machines and 3,300 workers
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

Explanation:

a. For 3,600 workers and 135 machines

Worker technical efficiency = 3,600/3,000 = $120%

Machine technical efficiency = 135 / 3,000 = 4.50%

Average technical efficiency = (120% + 4.5%) / 2 = 62.25%

b. For 270 machines and 3,300 workers.

Worker technical efficiency = 270/3,000 = $9%

Machine technical efficiency = 3,300 / 3,000 = 110%

Average technical efficiency = (9% + 110%) / 2 = 59.50%

Conclusion

Since the average technical efficiency of 62.25% is higher than 59.50%, 3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

loris [4]

Answer:

The overhead for the year was $130,075

Explanation:

GIVEN INFORMATION -

                                                    ESTIMATED                              ACTUAL

Manufacturing overhead            $132,440                                   $128,600

Machine hours                             2800                                           2750

Here for calculating the overhead for the year we will use the following formula =      

\frac{Estimated Manufacturing Overhead}{Estiamted Machine Hours}\times Actual Machine Hours

= \frac{\$132,440}{2800}\times 2750

\$47.3\times 2750 = \$130,075

Therefore the overhead for the year was $130,075
