Answer:

8.27%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current price = $36.72

Annual dividend paid, D0 = $2.18

Dividend growth rate, g = 2.2% = 0.022

Now,

Cost of Equity = [ (Dividend For Next Year) ÷ Current Price ] + Growth rate

= [ ( D0 × ( 1 + g  ) ) ÷ $36.72 ] + 0.022

= [ ( $2.18 × ( 1 + 0.022  ) ) ÷ $36.72 ] + 0.022

= [ 2.22796  ÷ $36.72 ] + 0.022

= 0.06067 + 0.022

= 0.08267

or

= 0.08267 × 100% = 8.267% ≈ 8.27%

inn [45]

Answer:

Cash= $183,950

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Baylor Company began its operations on March 31 of the current year. Projected manufacturing costs for the first three months of business are $156,800, $198,200, and $217,600, respectively, for April, May, and June. Depreciation, insurance, and property taxes represent $28,800 of the estimated monthly manufacturing costs. Insurance was paid on March 31, and property taxes will be paid in November. Three-fourths of the remainder of the manufacturing costs are expected to be paid in the month in which they are incurred, with the balance to be paid in the following month.

May:

Manufacturing cost= 198,200 - 28,800= $169,400

Cost for June= 169,400*0.25= 42,350

June:

Manufacturing cost= 217,600 - 28,800= $188,800

Cost from May= 42,350

Cost for July= 188,800*0.25= -47,200

Cash= $183,950

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

There is no good or service that is unlimited.

The concept of the Barter system was simply a method of exchanging value for value.

  • It was phased away due to several reasons:
  • It was not a good store of value as many of the goods were perishable
  • it didn't make for good administration: It was too cumbersome and problematic. Imagine having to store three trailers of eggs awaiting a barter exchange

Cheers!

Bill Mitselfik has purchased a bond that was issued by Acme Chemical. This bond has a face value of $1,000 and pays a dividend o
kramer

Answer:

$1,068.02

Explanation:

For computing the selling price of the bond we need to use the Future value formula or function i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%

NPER = 3 years × 2 = 6 years

PMT = $1,000 × 8% ÷ 2 = $40

The formula is shown below:

= FV(Rate;NPER;PMT;-PV;type)

The present value comes in negative

So, after applying the above formula, the selling price of the bond is $1,068.02

A steel mill raises the price of steel by 7% which results in a 20% reduction in the quantity of steel demanded. The demand curv
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Elastic demand

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is described as the sensitivity of demand to changes in its price. A product is price elastic when a small change in prices causes a significant change in quantity demanded. If a small change in price results in minimal impact in quantity demanded, the product is price inelastic.

Steel mill raised its prices by 7 percent. As a result, the demand declined by 20 percent. The demand decreased by a bigger rate than the change in price. It means a small change in price causes the demand to change significantly. Therefore, the demand curve is price elastic.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

a) $337,615.38

b-1) $360,910.85

b-2) $415,266.92

c-1) $362,637.36

c-2) $438,461.54

Explanation:

a) To find the current value of the company, we have:

\frac{57,000*(1 - 0.23)}{0.13}

= \frac{57,000*0.77}{0.13}

= $337,615.38

b-1) If the company takes on debt equal to 30 percent of its unlevered value.

337,615.38 + (0.23 * 337,615.38 * 0.30)

= $360,910.85

b-2) When the company can borrow at 10 percent. The value of the firm if the company takes on debt equal to 100 percent of its unlevered value will be:

337,615.38 + (0.23 * 337,615.38 * 1)

= $415,266.92

c-1) The value of the firm if the company takes on debt equal to 30 percent of its levered value:

\frac{337,615.38} {(1 - 0.23) * 0.30}

= $362,637.36

c-2) The value of the firm if the company takes on debt equal to 100 percent of its levered value:

\frac{337,615.38} {(1 - 0.23) * 0.1}

= $438,461.54
