Answer:

option (D) : 34.05%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Computation of Simple rate of return :

Investment = $425,000

Depreciation = (Initial cost - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= ($425,000 - 0) ÷ 10

= $42,500

Net profit = Sales revenue - cash operating expense - Depreciation

= $527,000-$339,800-$42,500

= $144,700

Simple rate of return = Net Profit ÷ Investment

= $144,700 ÷ $425,000

= 34.05%

Hence, option (D) is correct answer

Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $60,000 to produc
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Holmes should sell process the product further, because the profit if process further is higher than sell product now.

Explanation:

Net profit if sell product now is $37,500 ( = sales to another manufacturer $97,500 – already spent $60,000)

Sales as in process further/ Incremental Accounting

Sales: $695,125 (=$415 x 1,675 units)

Additional Process costs: $485,570 (=$290 x 1,675 units)

Net profit if process further = total sales $695,125 – already spent $60,000 – additional process cost $485,570 = $149,555, higher than profit $37,500 if sell now.

1- In 2013, Walmart decided to enter the Indian market in a joint-venture with Bharti Enterprises. Based upon your analysis of W
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

1- Walmart wanted global expansion and it availed the opportunity to expand its business by entering Indian market, however the Indian market is far different than the US market that is why a joint-venture was required to enter the different market as Bharti Enterprises was already operating in Indian market.

2- To enter a new market Joint-venture will be suitable because:

In acquisition the investor acquires all the shares of an existing organisation in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost. In a Joint venture the investor and a local investor invests together to form a different organisation, in this method the organisations jointly own a newly formed organisation in which they both jointly decide the name and the local investor have knowledge about the local market which can be helpful if the customer taste is different than the investors market. In a Greenfield investment the investor purchases shares and bonds of an organisation already operating in the targeted market, in this way the investor will not be able to operate with the same name as in other markets as the organisation whose shares are purchased already will have a name which if changed all the goodwill will be lost.

Harry Corporation's common stock currently sells for $180 per share. Harry just paid a dividend of $10.18 and dividends are expe
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$190.64

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of shares = $180 per share

Dividend paid = $10.18

Expected growth rate, g = 6% = 0.06

Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12

Now,

The dividend for the following year to the next year, D1 = $10.18 × (1 + g)ⁿ

here, n = 2 ( i.e the duration of next year and the following year )

thus,

D1 = $10.18 × (1 + 0.06)²

or

D1 = $11.438

Therefore,

Price of stock one year from now = \frac{\textup{D1}}{\textup{(r-g)}}

= \frac{\textup{11.438}}{\textup{0.12-0.06}}

= 190.637 ≈ $190.64
