Answer:

1.85

Explanation:

Given:

In 2017:

Net sales = $11,400

Cost of goods sold = $8,150

Depreciation = $440

Earnings before interest and taxes = $2,810

Taxes = $946

Net income = $1,756

Now,

Equity Multiplier (2017) = \frac{\textup{Total Assets of 2017}}{\textup{Stockholder's equity for 2017}}

Total assets of 2017 = $7,425  [given in the question]

Stockholder's equity for 2017

= Common Stock of 2017 + Retained earnings of 2017

= $3,070 + $940

= $4,010

Therefore,

Equity Multiplier (2017) = \frac{\textup{7,425}}{\textup{4,010}}

or

Equity Multiplier (2017) = 1.85

Savickas Petroleum’s stock has a required return of 12%, and the stock sells for $43 per share. The firm just paid a dividend of
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

correct option is b.  6.78%

Explanation:

given data

required return = 12%

stock sells = $43 per share

dividend = $1.00

expected to grow = 30%

D4 = $1.00 × (1.30)^4 = $2.8561

solution

we get here first present value of dividend for 4 year that is

year        cash flow                   pv(13%)           present value

1                $1.30                        0.8929             $1.16                

2                $1.69                       0.7972              $1.35        

3                $2.20                      0.7118                $1.56  

4                $2.86                      0.6355               $1.82  

so  

present value of dividend for 4 year is = $5.8868

so

price of stock will be

price of stock = present value of dividend + price at year 4

43 = 5.8868 + \frac{2.86 \times (1+x)}{0.12-x}  

solve it we get

x = 6.78%

so correct option is b.  6.78%
