Answer:

E) none of the above

12.70% and 2.49% standard deviation

Explanation:

We multiply probability by the outcome to get the weighted amount, we add them and get the expected return.

probability outcome weighted

0.25          0.10   0.0250

0.45          0.12   0.0540

0.30          0.16   0.0480

expected return  0.1270

Now that we got the expected return at 12.7%

We now subtract the possible outcome with the expected return and square them:

(0.127-0.1)^2

(0.127-0.12)^2

(0.127-0.16)^2

Then we add them and divide by the sample which is 3

0.000622  

²√ 0.000622   = 0.024944383

<u><em>Final step,</em></u> will be the square root which gives the standard deviation

of 2.49% = 0.024947

Data concerning Bedwell Enterprises Corporation's single product appear below:
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

unit sales = $3482.49

Explanation:

given data

Selling price per unit  = $240.00

Variable expenses per unit = $99.50

Fixed expense per month = $454,290

monthly target profit =  $35,000

solution

we get here contribution margin that is express as

contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost    ..................1

put here value

contribution margin = $240 - $99.50

contribution margin =  $140.50

so here Target Contribution margin will be

Target Contribution margin = Fixed cost + Target profits    ...............2

put here value

Target Contribution margin = $454,290 + $35,000

Target Contribution margin = $489290

so here unit sales will be as

unit sales = \frac{489290}{140.5}

unit sales = $3482.49

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w
OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

          Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

          Actual production= 11,700 units.

         The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

         The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.  

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= \textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= \$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)

A company just paid a $2 dividend per share. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 10% for 2 years, after which
Olin [163]

Answer:

Do =  $2.00

D1= Do(1+g)1 =  $2(1+0.1)1 = $2.20

D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.1)2 = $2.42

PHASE 1

V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2  

V1 = 2.20/(1+0.11) + 2.42/(1+0.11)2  

V1 = $1.9820 + $1.9641

V1 = $3.9461

PHASE 2

V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        V2 = $2.42(1+0.03)/(0.11-0.03)(1+0.11)2      

V2 = $2.4926/$0.0649

V2 = $38.4068

The current stock price is calculated as follows:

Po = V1 + V2

Po = $3.9461 + $38.4068

Po = $42.35

Explanation: This question relates to valuation of shares with 2-phase growth model.  The value of shares in the first phase will be determined by discounting the dividend for the 2 years by cost of equity. The dividends for year 1 and year 2 were obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid (Do) to growth rate.  

Moreso, the value of shares for the second phase was calculated by considering the last dividend paid(D2) and then subject it to the new growth rate. The adjusted dividend was then capitalized at the appropriate discount rate of the company.
