Answer:

Gain of  $1,855    

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Actual Selling price = 76.12 cents per pound = $0.7612 per pound

Price at the closing = 72.41 cents per pound = $0.7241 per pound

The size of the contract = 50,000

Now,

The gain or loss = (Actual selling price - Price at closing ) × size of contract

= ( $0.7612 - $0.7241 ) × 50,000

= 0.0371 × 50,000

= $1,855          [positive value mean gain ]

Hence,

Gain of  $1,855

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A, Offer a guarantee for the customer's complete satisfaction.

Explanation:

SInce services are inseperable beacuse there cannot be trials unlike in some goods, the only way to keep a customer's mind at rest over the service he or she is getting to give a guarantee as to the quality of the service such that the customer is satisfied and can purchase the service.

For example, giving a customer a time frame for the durability of a service and also a consideration for re-service before the set or supposed time is a way of giving customer guarantee about a service he or she is purchasing

The last dividend paid by Wilden Corporation was $1.55. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 1.5% for 2 years,
shtirl [24]

Answer:

e)  $37.05

Explanation:

Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.

So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula

P = D (1+g)/r-g

r- rate of return, g = growth rate

Present value of the future dividends:

PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)

                     = 1.4047

PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)

                     =  1.27

PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)

=43.114

Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

  =43.114 × (1.12^(-2))

   = 34.37

Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37

                                       = $37.05

Note

To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
