quester [9]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Issued preferred stock outstanding that pays dividend per year = $7.75

Current selling price = $68.19 per share

Required return = (Annual dividend ÷ Current price)  × 100

                            = ($7.75 ÷ $68.19) × 100

                            = 11.37% (Approx)

Therefore, the required return is 11.37% if this issue currently sells for $68.19 per share.

The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $4,250,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation,
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Average rate of return is a capital budgeting method. It is used to determine if a firm should invest in a project or should not invest in a project

average rate of return = average net income / average cost of investment

average net income = (total net income - depreciation) / useful life

(8,500,000 - $4,250,000) / 20 = 212,500

Average cost of investment =( beginning book value of the investment - ending book value of the investment) / 2

($4,250,000 - 0) / 2 = 2,125,000

ARR = 212,500 / 2125,000 = 0.1  = 10%

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years. Target average profit margin for Simon
Luda [366]

Answer:

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4
