Answer:
Expected return=5.1%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return on the stock can be determined using the dividend valuation model
<em>According to this model, the value of a stock is the sum of the present values of the future dividend that would arise from it discounted at the required rate of return.</em>
Using this model,
Cost of equity (Ke) =( D(1+g)/P) + g
Div in year 0, P= ex-div market price, g= growth rate in dividend
For this question
Expected rate of return = (1.42×(1+0.02)/46 + 0.02= 5.1%
Expected return=5.1%
Answer:
D. $25,000
Explanation:
The equity is the difference between assets and liabilities
Opening equity=$150,000-$70,000
opening equity=$80,000
Ending equity=$180,000-$80,000
ending equity=$100,000
The ending equity formula below can be used to derive the net income for 2016:
ending equity=beginning equity+ net income-dividends
The net income increases the amount of ending equity while dividends decrease it.
net income=unknown
dividends=$5000
$100,000=$80,000+net income-$5000
net income=$100,000-$80,000+$5,000
net income=$25,000

Answer:
The map of the current process is found in the attached
The minimum cycle time is 1 min 40 seconds
The longest cycle time is 2 min 35 seconds
The new minimum cycle is 1 min 15 seconds
The new longest cycle time is 2 mins
The potential problem that could surface from splitting the process is that once the customer has finished paying the customer has to wait for about 30 to 55 seconds before the second attendant finishes with packaging,hence ,a queue would likely be formed awaiting the second attendant.
The problem could be solved by ensuring the taking money and packaging takes the same time.
Explanation:
Minimum cycle time=20+55+25=100 seconds=1 minute 40 seconds
The longest cycle time=30+90+35=155 seconds=2 min 35 seconds
The new minimum cycle time=20+55=75 seconds=1 min 15 seconds
Taking customer's money also happened in the first 35 seconds of the 55 seconds above.
The new longest cycle time=30+90=120 seconds=2 mins
Answer:
7.52%
Explanation:
First and foremost ,the yield to maturity on the old issue is computed using the rate formula in excel as calculated below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
the nper is the number of times the bond would pay annual coupon interest of $106,which is 20 times
pmt is the amount of annual coupon payment which is $106
pv is the current price of the bond at $860
fv is the face value of the bond at $1000
=rate(20,106,-860,1000)=12.54%
The yield to maturity on the new issue is 12.54% as well
after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)
pretax cost of debt is yield to maturity of 12.54%
t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
after-tax cost of debt=12.54%
*(1-0.4)=7.52%
