Answer:
30.92%
Explanation:
You find the answer by calculating the cost of equity using two methods; Dividend discount model and CAPM
<u>Dividend discount model;</u>
cost of equity; r = (D1/P0) +g
whereby, D1 = next year's dividend = 3.00
P0= current price = 13.65
g = dividend growth rate = 11% or 0.11 as a decimal
r = (3/13.65) + 0.11
r = 0.2198 + 0.11
r= 0.3298 or 32.98%
<u>Using CAPM;</u>
r = risk free + beta (Market risk premium)
r = 0.049 + (2.8 * 0.0856)
r = 0.049 + 0.2397
r = 0.2887 or 28.87%
Next, find the average of the two cost of equities;
=(32.98% + 28.87% )/2
= 30.92%
Answer:
The owner's equity amounts to $1,040,000
Explanation:
The formula to compute the owner's equity is as:
Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities
Where
Assets = Land + Machinery + Cash
= $1,500,000 + $30,000 + $10,000
= $1,500,000 + $40,000
= $1,540,000
Liabilities = Loan
= $500,000
Putting the values above in the formula:
= $1,540,000 - $500,000
= $1,040,000
Answer:
benefit
Explanation:
The characteristics define what a product is for, the benefits define the difference that our product has versus the competitive product and the motivators define how the characteristics and benefits of these products will help each individual customer. To say that the product will help a specific and unique customer is to show the real motivator of the purchase, that is, that specific benefit that by itself will make the customer buy the product. It reaches the end that the customer buys products for different benefits for which the product has been created. For example, a chair is used to sit, but at the same time it can be purchased as a decoration item (chair in the middle of a hallway) or used as a staircase in the kitchen.
Answer: D. $20
Explanation:
Total cost to produce 50 cookies = Total cost to produce 100 cookies - Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies
Total cost to produce 100 cookies is:
= Average total cost * number of cookies
= 0.25 * 100
= $25
Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies is:
= Constant marginal cost * number of cookies
= 0.10 * 5
= $5.00
Total cost to produce 50 cookies = 25 - 5
= $20.00
Answer:
D) is 20% above expectations.
Explanation:
The Augusta Division was supposed to earn a net profit of $1,000,000 (= $2,000,000 - $1,000,000). Since the division's manager and his/her team were able to cut reduce fixed costs to $900,000 and increase contribution margin to $2,100,000 (either by increasing selling price or reducing variable costs), then the division earned a net profit of $1,200,000 (= $2,100,000 - $900,000). This net profit is 20% higher than expected, therefore the manager's (and his/her team's) overall performance was 20% above expectations.
