Answer:

(a) $34.61; 11.54

(b) $32.81; 10.94

Explanation:

(a) Stock Price = D ÷ (Ke – G)

Where,

D is dividend next year,

Ke is required rate of return on equity

G is growth rate

Growth rate = ROE × plow-back ratio

                    = 0.12 × 0.40

                    = 0.048 or 4.8%

Dividend = Current EPS × (1 - plow back ratio)

               = $3 × 0.6

               = $1.8

Stock Price:

= $1.8 ÷ (0.10 - 0.048)

= $34.61

P/E Ratio = Stock Price ÷ EPS

               = $34.61 ÷ $3

               = 11.54

(b) New growth rate = 0.12 × 0.30

                                  = 0.036 or 3.6%

Dividend = Current EPS × (1 - plow back ratio)

               = $3 × 0.7

               = $2.1

Stock Price = $2.1 ÷ (0.10 - 0.036)

                   = $32.81

P/E Ratio = Stock Price ÷ EPS

               = $32.81 ÷ $3

               = 10.94

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The actual price = $1.08

Explanation:

The standard material price can be worked out as follows:

<em>Step 1: Work out the standard price of material  using the material usage variance</em>

Standard price = Material usage variance/(standard quantity of material - actual quantity)

Standard quantity of material = standard qty per unit × actual production

                                              = 4 × 17,000 =68,000

Standard price =  2,800/(68,000-64,000)= $0.7

<em>Step 2 : Work out the Actual material price using the material price variance</em>

Material price variance = (Standard price - Actual price )× Actual quantity of material

6,400 =  (y - 0.7) ×  17,000

6400 = 17,000y  - 11,900

17,000 y = 6,400 + 11,900

y = 18,300/17,000= 1.08

The actual price = $1.08
