During the process of operational planning, management must compare market demand with Capacity.

Answer:
The correct answer is D. $1,320,000
.
Explanation:
In this case, it should be considered that the Stone Company is just beginning to operate, so the capital at the end of the period is made up of the following:
Initial Capital: $ 1,200,000
Dividends: $ 120,000
TOTAL = $ 1,320,000
Net income is not part of the measurement of capital, since information on expenses must be available to calculate the profit or loss for the period. For its part, investments in shares are considered a current asset and do not enter into this calculation.
Answer:
The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.
The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.
Explanation:
a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:
We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.
b. The cost of equity using the SML method:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.
=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
