Answer:

b. $35.02

Explanation:

The first dividends will be calculate by multiplying by the grow rate and bring them to present value:

first year:

D0 x (1+g)

1.75 x 1.13 = 1.977500

Then we calcualte the present value:

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

1.9775/1.12 = 1.7656

second year:

D1 x (1+g)

1.9775 x (1.13) = 1.7656

\frac{1.7656}{(1 + 0.12)^{2} } = PV

PV: 1.7814

Finally,, we calcualte the present value of the next dividends using the dividend grow model

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

We calcualte next year dividneds:

D2 x (1+g) = D3

1.9775 x 1.06 = 2.368650

g = 6%

and return 12%

\frac{2.36865}{0.12-0.06} = Intrinsic \: Value

39.47749167

then, we calcualte the present vale:

\frac39.47749167}{(1 + 0.12)^{2} } = PV

PV = 31.4712

Finally, we add all these values

1.7656 + 1.7814 + 31.4712 = 35,0182 = 35.02

This will be the estimate current stock price.

Elza [17]

Answer:

a.An increase in cash flows from operating activities

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

Quantitative Problem 1: Hubbard Industries just paid a common dividend, D0, of $1.50. It expects to grow at a constant rate of 2
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

The current price of Hubbard's common stock is <u>$25.50</u>.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula that assumes growth is dividend will be constant as follows:

P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)

Where,

P = Current stock price = ?

D1 = Next dividend =  D0 * (1 + g) = $1.50 * (1 + 2%) = $1.53

r = required return = 8%, or 0.08

g = growth rate = 2%, or 0.02

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

P = $1.53 / (0.08 - 0.02) = $25.50

Therefore, the current price of Hubbard's common stock is <u>$25.50</u>.

Helga [31]

Answer:1. Make provision for warranty claims.

2. Disclosure of contingent liability

3. No cost should be recorded.

Explanation:

Warranty is an assurance made by firms to make good any agreed loss that is incurred by the customers in usage of goods and services whiting the period of the warranty. Since an estimation can be made based on firms history of sales a provision has to be made for possible warranty.

Since it's only probably that a loss will be Incurred by the firm by going into the contract and the financial statement has not been issue the firm should made a contingent liability disclosure in the report.

The self insurance is not a contract with a third party, in this vein no cost will be accrued until the loss is actually suffered.
