dedylja [7]

Answer:

<u>a. Zero dividend.</u>

<u>b. 3.5 new shares</u>;

<em>texes will be paid.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

a. March 20 is a date earlier than when the dividends are too be paid on April 18, and as such Wilfred Nadeau<em> will not</em> receive any dividend if he sells his stocks since he no longer has ownership of them.

b. 45 cents dividends per 300 stocks of Wilfred is $135 (reinvestment dividend plan).

With a discount of 3.4% at $39.8 (3.4%*39.8) current price per stock makes the total cost per stock after discount= $38.4.

Dividing the reinvestment dividend plan over the discounted price (135/38.4) = 3.5 new shares, According to the requirements of law the investor must still pay tax annually on his or her dividend income, whether it is received as cash or reinvested.

You are given the following information for Watson Power Co. Assume the company’s tax rate is 24 percent. Debt: 14,000 6.3 perce
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

10.18%

Explanation:

The computation of the WACC is shown below:

But before that following calculation is to be done

The value of debt is

= 14000 × $1,000 × 107%

= $14,980,000

The value of equity is

= 470,000 × $65

= $30,550,000

The value of preferred stock is

= 20,500 × $86

= $1,763,000

Now

value of total capital is

= $14,980,000  + $30,550,000 + $1,763,000

= $47,293,000

Now we find the cost of debt using excel function i.e.

= RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv)) × 2

= RATE(29 × 2,1000 × 6.3% ÷ 2,-1000 × 107%,1000)) ×2

= 5.80%

Now  

Cost of common stock is

= 5.2% + 1.16 × 7%

= 13.32%

cost of preferred stock is

= (100 × 4.1%) ÷ 86

= 4.77%

Now finally  

WACC = weight of debt × cost of debt ×(1 - tax rate) + weight of equity × cost of equity + weight of preferred stock ×cost of preferred stock

= ($14,980,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 5.80% × (1  - 24%)+($30,550,000 ÷ $47,293,000) × 13.32% + ($1,763,000 ÷ $47,293,000) ×4.77%

= 10.18%

A marketing company wants to estimate the proportion of consumers in a certain region of the country who would react favorably t
Sindrei [870]

The closest to the minimum number of consumers needed to obtain the estimate with the desired precision is (b) 271

Explanation:

When the prior estimate of population proportion is not given , then the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=0.25(\frac{z^{*} }{E} )^{2}

where E = Margin of error.

z* = Critical z-value.

As per given , we have

E = 5%=0.05

Confidence level = 90%

The critical value of z at 90% is 1.645  (By z-table)

Put all values in the formula , we get

n=0.25(1.645/0.05)²

n=0.25(32.9)²

n=270.6025≈271

Thus, the minimum sample size needed = 271

Hence , the correct answer is 271 .

Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books so
Westkost [7]

Answer:

539,000.00  

Explanation:

As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.

For Etuck327,

The selling price is $39

Variable expense is $28

Break-even in units is 49,000 books.

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs

=$39- $28

=$11

if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then

49,000= fixed cost / 11

fixed costs = 11 x 49000

Fixed costs = 539,000.00
