Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $30.23.
Explanation:
The total return on a stock is made up of dividend received on the stock plus the capital gain received from selling the stock. The holding period is one year that means a 10% return on the amount invested in required for one year. We need to calculate the present value of the total of selling price plus the dividend to calculate the price of the stock today. As 10% return is required, the discount rate is also 10%.
PV = (1.25 + 32) / 1.1
PV = 30.227 rounded off to 30.23
Answer: Mutual mistake
Explanation:
A mutual mistake in a contract is a situation that arises when the parties in a contract make the same mistake in reference to a significant fact in the contract. i.e., they are mutually ignorant of a fact of the contract.
Had they both known about that mistake, they might not have gone into the contract so the contract is voidable in this scenario.
Both Walker and Sheerwood were mutually mistaken about the fact that Rose was pregnant when they went into the contract so this contract is voidable by this theory.
Answer:
One important financial reporting instrument for measuring and assessing an organisations liquidity risk is the Cash Flows statement. It speaks to the availability of cash in the short term, and or assets that can be readily converted to cash.
In other words, when a business has immediate financial obligations, cash refers to those resources that can be used to satisfy them.
An understanding of cash flows is crucial to business success because it:
- provides a clear picture of an organisations cash status or liquidity;
- helps business owners plan for how much cash expected in the future and when it is likely to come;
- when organisations want to benchmark their performance against one another, it becomes very handy and useful. Banks, for instance, measure the ability of a business to meet it's liquidity requirements as a measure of eligibility to receive additional finance.
One way companies can maintain liquidity during this pandemic is to control overhead expenses. Necessity is the mother of invention. Companies can have their team brainstorm on creative ways to cut down on operational, administrative and production costs. Some costs which can be considered for downward revision are rent, labor costs (such as business performance incentives), professional fees, marketing costs, advertising costs, public relations etc.
Cheers!
