Answer:
(A) 9.6%
(B) 37,296,880
Explanation:
Current earnings for Bennington Enterprise is $34.03 million
The ROE is 12 percent
= 12/100
= 0.12
Retention ratio is 80 percent
= 80/100
= 0.8
(A) The firms earning growth rate can be calculated as follows
= 0.8× 0.12
= 0.096×100
= 9.6%
(B) Next year earnings can be calculated as follows
= 34,030,000 × (1+0.096)
= 34,030,000× 1.096
= 37,296,880
The creation of interchangeable parts allowed relatively unskilled workers to complete the production process, which allowed for mass production. Additionally, interchangeable parts made repairs and replacements easier and cheaper.
Answer:
current share price = $85.96
Explanation:
Find the PV of each dividend
PV= FV / (1+r)^t
r= required return
t= total duration
PV(D1) = 18 / (1.14)= 15.78947
PV(D2) = 14 / (1.14^2) = 10.77255
PV(D3) = 13 / (1.14^3) = 8.774630
PV(D4) = 7.50 / (1.14^4) = 4.44060
PV(D5 onwards) is a two-step process, first PV of growing perpetuity;
PV(D5 onwards) at yr4 =[7.50*(1+0.04) ] / (0.14-0.04) = 78
second, finding PV today ; PV(D5 onwards) at yr 0 = 78 / (1.14^4) = 46.18226
Add the PVs to get the current share price = $85.96
Answer:
d. $399.63
Explanation:
Data provided in the given question
Dividend = $12.11
Shares = 132
The calculation of quarterly dividends is shown below:-
Quarterly dividends = Dividend × Shares ÷ Number of quarters in a year
= $12.11 × 132 ÷ 4
= $399.63
Therefore, to compute the quarterly dividends we simply divide shares with number of quarter in a year and multiply with dividend.
