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%.

A company normally sells its product for $20 per unit. However, the selling price has fallen to $15 per unit. This company's cur
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

$200 (a deduction)

Explanation:

The accounting standard for inventories IAS 2 requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory will initially be recognized at the cost ( which includes the cost of the item and other associated cost such as freight ). However, its carrying amount must be reviewed to ensure it is not higher than the realizable value.

Given that the selling price is now $15 which is lower than the cost of $16, it means that the amount that can be realized from the sale of a unit is $15.

= $16 - $15

= $1

As such, an adjustment in form of a reduction of the carrying amount of $1 per unit is required. The amount of the lower cost of market adjustment the company must make as a result of this decline in value

= $1 × 200 units

= $200 (a deduction)

A year ago, you purchased 300 shares of Stellar Wood Products, Inc. stock at a price of $8.62 per share. The stock pays an annua
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

D. -$1,116

Explanation:

Total amount of purchase = number of shares * price per share

= 300 * $8.62

= $2,586

Total dividends received = number of shares * dividend per share

= 300* $0.10

= $30

Total proceeds from sale of shares = number of shares sold  * price per share

= 300* $4.80

= $1,440

Total dollar return = (Total proceeds from sale of shares + Total dividends received - amount of purchase)

= $1,440 + $30 - $2,586

= -1,116

Marcus (20) attends State University and is a qualifying student for the purpose of the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC).
hodyreva [135]

The maximum AOTC that can be claimed by Andre’s parents is $2,500.

American Opportunity Tax Credit means a tax credit on education expenses which are incurred within first four years of a student’s higher education.

  • The full tax credit is allowed when modified adjusted gross income is $160,000 or less.

  • 100% of first $2000 spent on education expenses and 25% of next $2000 of qualifying education expenses.

Maximum AOTC = $ 2000 + (0.25 × $2000)

Maximum AOTC = $2000 + $ 500

Maximum AOTC = $2500

Therefore, the maximum AOTC that can be claimed by Andre’s parents is $2,500.

Economists say that individuals make decisions at the margin. What does its menas?
leva [86]

Answer:

When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.

Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.

If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.
