Explanation:
Payback period is the time in which a project returns back the initial investment in the form of net cash flow.
Initial Investment = $280,000
Net Income = $20,000
To calculate the net cash flows add bask the depreciation expense in Net income each year.
Depreciation = ($280,000 - $30,000) / 5 = $50,000
Net Cash Flow = $20,000 + $50,000 = $70,000
Payback period = Initial Investment / yearly cash flow = $280,000 / $70,000 = 4 years
Answer:
$18.33
Explanation:
The company just paid an annual dividend of $2.24
The dividend increase by 2.3% annually
= 2.3/100
= 0.023
The required return is 14.8%
= 14.8/100
= 0.148
Therefore the price that will be paid for one share of LBM stock can be calculated as follows
= 2.24 × (1+0.023)/(0.148-0.023)
= 2.24 × 1.023/0.125
= 2.29153/0.125
= $18.33
Hence $18.33 will be paid for one share of LBM stock

12.75 %
Explanation:
Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.
Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd
Where,
E/V = Market Weight of Equity
= 0.55
Ke = Cost of Equity
= 15%
D/E = Market Weight of Debt
= 0.45
Kd = Cost of Debt
= 10%
Therefore,
Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% + 0.45 × 10%
= 12.75 %
