Answer:

Value of stock is $51.47

Explanation:

As the preferred dividend is paid by the constant amount or by predetermined rate there is no growth in this case. The price of preferred share is calculated by using perpetuity method.

Price of the stock = Dividend / rate of return

Price of the stock = $3.5 / 6.8%

Price of the stock = $3.5 / 0.068

Price of the stock = $51.47

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

C). Compare actual controllable costs with flexible budget data.

Explanation:

The Cost center is very crucial to be determined by an organization as it indirectly bestows its profitability. It is usually calculated by comparing the actual cost generated by the department to the expectations as per the budgeted cost. Thus, the most constructive method to evaluate a cost center would be the 'comparison between the actual controllable costs and the flexible budget data' as it helps in assessing the actual expense incurred during the year and whether it is lesser or greater than the cost estimated in the budget. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Year Cashflow        [email protected]% PV

$                      $

0 (750,000)             1          (750,000)

1        350,000               0.9259    324,065

2       325,000               0.8573     278,623

                                        NPV         184,438

The correct answer is D. The difference in answers is due to rounding error.

Explanation:

Net present value is the diffrence between initial outlay and present value of inflow. We need to discount the cash inflows for year 1 to year 4 at 8% and then calculate the present value of cash inflows by multiplying the cash inflows by the discount factors. Finally, we will calculate NPV by deducting the initial outlay from the present value of cash inflows.
