Mobray Corp. is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 24 percent per year during the next three years, 14
White raven [17]

Answer:

$1.25

Explanation:

dividend growth:

year               growth rate        dividends

1                          24%                  Div₁ = 1.24Div₀

2                         24%                  Div₂ = 1.24²Div₀ = 1.5376Div₀

3                         24%                  Div₃ = 1.24³Div₀ = 1.906624Div₀

4                          14%                  Div₄ = 1.906624Div₀ x 1.14 = 2.17355136Div₀

indefinite              8%                  Div₅ = 2.17355136Div₀ x 1.08 = 2.347435Div₀

required rate of return = 10%

current stock price = $86

stock price for terminal growth rate = Div₅ / (10% - 8%) = Div₅ / 2% = 117.3717734Div₀

current stock price = $86 = 1.24Div₀/1.1 + 1.5376Div₀/1.1² + 1.906624Div₀/1.1³ + 2.17355136Div₀/1.1⁴ + 117.3717734Div₀/1.1⁴ = 1.12727Div₀ + 1.27074Div₀ + 1.43247Div₀ + 1.48456Div₀ + 80.1665Div₀ = 85.48154Div₀

$86 = 85.48154Div₀

Div₀ = $86 / 85.48154 = $1.006065

Div₁ = 1.24 x $1.006065 = $1.2475 ≈ $1.25

Yanka [14]

Answer:

The advantages of using secondary data are several, but its main advantage is that it is the cheapest way to gather large sets of information. A lot of secondary data is available on the internet, so it is time saving. Using secondary data saves work, efforts and money.

We can also use secondary data to determine more specifically which primary data we need to gather, again saving resources.

Ritchie Manufacturing Company makes a product that it sells for $200 per unit. The company incurs variable manufacturing costs o
NARA [144]

Answer :

Break even units = 10,500

Break even amount = $2,100,000

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

a) Break even units = Fixed expense ÷ CM per unit b ÷ (a - c)

= ($466,000 + $269,000) ÷ ($200 - $110 - $20)

= 10,500 units

b) Break even amount = b ÷ (a ÷ c)

= ($466,000 + $269,000) ÷ ($70 ÷ $200)

= $2,100,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Selling price per unit × 100

where,

Contribution margin = Selling price per unit - variable expenses per unit

c) CM per unit Break even units = Fixed expense ÷ Cm per unit

= $735,000 ÷ $70

= 10,500 units

Break even dollars = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $735,000 ÷ 0.35

= $2,100,000

d) Contribution margin income statement:

Sales = 10,500 × $200 = $2,100,000

Less Variable expenses 10,500 × ($110+$20) = $1,365,000

Contribution margin $735,000

Less Fixed Expense $735,000

Net Operating Income = $0

Cave Hardware's forecasted sales for April; May; June; and July are $ 170,000; $ 230,000; $ 190,000; and $ 260,000; respectively
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

accounts payable 128,500

Explanation:

To answer we must determine how much is the amount of purchases needed for the month of June.

It is not interesting the debt that is generated in previous months since they are paid in full, so in May the purchases of the month of May will already be canceled, so they will not impact the suppliers account.

June  

Purchases=  190,000 x 0.85 + (inventory cost of sales of the month) + 80,000 (inventory at the end of the month)  + 260,000 x 10% (inventory at the end of the month) = 276,500,

But according to the company's policy at the beginning of the month the inventory was equal to

80,000 + 190,000x10% (June sales) = 99,000

So the purchases necessary to meet the costs of sale and comply with the policy of the owner at closing is the same

267.500(inventory needed) - 99.000( initial existence) = 168.500

<u>the record will be </u>

Inventory      168,500

Cash                           43,810

accounts paylable    124,690

The four underlying assumptions of generally accepted accounting principles are economic entity, monetary unit, periodicity, and
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1. Going concern

2. Economic entity

3. Monetary unit

4. Periodicitys

Explanation:

1. Since Jumbo's Restaurant is planning to close, the assumption of continuity (going concern) is no more applicable. This should be disclosed. Instead asset was still recorded at historical price which is misleading.

2. Gorloks Tax Services is an economic entity, and the property and assets of owners are not considered to be for the business. In this case the boat Sam bought was wrongly reported as an asset of the company.

3. Claim Jumpers when reporting the 5 trucks purchased must include a monetary value for them. The assumption of monetary unit states that all items reported on the balance sheet must be expressed in monetary terms.

4. Cobbler's Etc violated the assumption of periodicity which states the financial position of the business must be declared in a particular accounting period. Accounting period can monthly, quarterly, biannually, and yearly. The business should choose and accounting period and ensure financial position is reported for each of them. In this case financial reporting is not consistent with reporting happening after 14 months and before that 18 months.
