Answer: risk

Explanation: 100% satisfaction guarantee is a statement that if a customer of a product (or service) is not satisfied with the item purchased, then the producer will offer a full refund back to the customer. In this case REI allows this option for a period of up to 1 year after the sale was made.

REI utilises this option in an effort to reduce costs attributed to risk. For customers, this is a powerful tool as they are allowed to try the product, while knowing that if they don't like it then they can return it for a full refund. For REI, it increases customer trust as it allows customers to believe that the product is worth the sales price. It also reduces risk as REI is able to test the product out to actual customers and get a feel for if they like it, and what can be improved if needed.

Leona [35]

Answer:

P₀ = $106.96

Explanation:

the current dividend paid by IBM was $6.30 per stock

Div₀ = $6.30

Div₁ = $6.615

Div₂ = $6.94575

Div₃ = $7.2930375

Div₄ = $7.657689375

Div₅ = $8.040573844

Div₆ = $8.321993928

we must first determine the terminal value at year 5 = Div₆ / (rrr - g) = $8.321993928 / (10% - 3.5%) = $128.0306758

now we must discount the future values using the 10% discount rate:

P₀ = $6.615/1.1 + $6.94575/1.1² + $7.2930375/1.1³ + $7.657689375/1.1⁴ + $8.040573844/1.1⁵ + $128.0306758/1.1⁵ = $6.013 + $5.740 + $5.479 + $5.230 + $4.993 + $79.50 = $106.96

You must estimate the intrinsic value of Noe Technologies’ stock. The end-of-year free cash flow (FCF1) is expected to be $27.50
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

= $52.78 per share

Explanation:

<em>The value of a business can be determined using the free cash flow model. According to this model, the value of a firm is is the present value of its free cash flow discounted at the weigthed average cost of capital (WACC.)</em>

<em>The value of equity is the value of firm less value of other instruments (e.g debt and preferred stocks)</em>

<em>Value of equity = Value of the entire firm - Value of debt </em>

We can work out the the value per share using the steps below:

<em>Step 1</em>

<em>Calculate the total value of the firm</em>

Value of firm =  27.50/(0.1-0.07)

 = $916.66 million

<em>Step 2</em>

<em>Calculate the value of equity</em>

<em>Value of equity = Value of the entire firm - Value of debt</em>

= $916.66 million - $125.0 million

=791.666 million

<em>Step 3</em>

<em>Calculate the value per share</em>

Value per share = Value of equity/ units of common stock

=$791.666 million/15 million units

= $52.78 per share

Coache Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require an investment of $120,000 in equipment with a 4
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a. $44,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cash flow net of income taxes in year 3 is shown below:

= Incremental sales - annual incremental cash operating expenses - one-time renovation expense - depreciation expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense

= $310,000 - $230,000 - $30,000 - $30,000 - $6,000 + $30,000

= $44,000

Since depreciation is a non-cash expense so it would be added back to the computation part

The depreciation expense would be

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($120,000 - $0) ÷ (4 years)

= ($120,000) ÷ (4 years)  

= $30,000

And, the income tax expense would be

= (Incremental sales - annual incremental cash operating expenses - one-time renovation expense - depreciation expense) × tax rate

= ($310,000 - $230,000 - $30,000 - $30,000) × 30%

= $20,000  × 30%

= $6,000

"A firm finances itself with 30 percent debt, 60 percent common equity, and 10 percent preferred stock. The before-tax cost of d
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)  + Kp(P/V)

WACC = 15(60/100) + 5(30/100)(1-0.3) + 10(10/100)

WACC = 9 + 1.05 + 1

WACC = 11.05%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is a function of cost of common stock and the proportion of common stock in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt and proportion of debt in the capital structure plus cost of preferred stock and the proportion of preferred stock in the capital structure.  Ke = Cost of equity or common stock, kd = cost of debt and kp = cost of preferred stock.

assume george's sandwich included the same ingredients as a sanwhich that you can buy at your local deli explain why georgs's sa
Anika [276]

Answer: Economies of Scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to the tendency of costs to reduce per unit as the number of units produced increases. This is because the producer is able to share the costs amongst all the units produced.

George was getting those ingredients to make a single burger so the produce he used were small in quantity and cost him more. The companies that make sandwiches in large numbers buy and produce the ingredients in bulk which reduces their prices.

For example, George went to Minneapolis to get salt for one burger, those companies would go and get salt for 10,000 burgers at the same time which would reduce the cost by dividing it across the 10,000 burgers.

This cost saving from economies of scale enables the local deli to sell products at a cheaper rate than if we had to make them ourselves.
