Answer:
Current stock price = $24.23
Explanation:
Stock price under Discounted Model:
P0 = D1 \div(Ke - g)
P0 = Current Market price of the share
g = Growth rate = 5.0%
Ke = Cost of equity = 11.5% p.a
D1 = Expected dividend = $1.50 (1 + 0.05)= $1.575
P0 = $1.575 / (11.50% - 5.0%)
Current stock price = $24.23
Answer:
A. Lowest Total Cost:
A. 315,550 or more
B. Lowest total cost of annual volume of 120 boats
C. C
Explanation:
The lowest total cost among the three alternatives is b.
If the company goes for new location it will have to incur fixed cost of $270,000 and variable cost per boat will be $600.
If the company Subcontracts then Total cost per boat is $2,620
If a company goes for expanding existing facility then it will incur fixed cost of $57,000 and variable cost will be $1,030 per boat.
If company produces 315,000 or more boats then it will have lowest possible cost for the boat.
For an output of 120 bots the best possible alternative is option C. The fixed cost will be $475 per boat ($57,000 / 120 boats)
The total cost will be $1,505 ($475 + $1,030)
Answer:
a. Accept the order
b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000

<u>Incremental Costs and Revenues - accept the special order</u>
Sales ( 10,000 units × $22 each) $220,000
<em>Less</em> Variable Costs ( 10,000 units × $17each) ($170,000)
