Answer:

$67.66

Explanation:

The computation of current value of one share is shown below:-

Dividend 1 = $1.70 × (1 + 17%)

= $1.70 × 1.17

= $1.989

Dividend 2 = $1.989 × 1.17

= $2.32713

Dividend 3 = $2.32713 × 1.17

= $2.7227421

Dividend 4 = $2.7227421 × 1.17

= $3.18560826

Value after year 4 = (Dividend 4 × Growth rate) ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= ($3.18560826 × (1 + 3%)) ÷ (0.072 - 0.03)

= $3.28117651 ÷ 0.042

= $78.1232502

Current value of one share = $1.989 ÷ 1.072 + $2.32713 ÷ 1.072^2 + $2.7227421 ÷ 1.072^3 + $3.18560826 ÷ 1.072^4 + $78.1232502 ÷ 1.072^4

Where 1.072 = (1 + 7.20%)

= $1.855410448  + $2.025028194  + $2.21015204 + $2.412199524  + $59.15632166

= $67.65911186

or

= $67.66

A project has an initial cost of $17,700 and produces cash inflows of $7,200, $8,900, and $7,500 over three years, respectively.
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Never

Explanation:

Discounted payback period aims to find out how long it will take for a project to repay its investment given its discounted cashflows.

Year 1 = 7,200 / ( 1 + 0.16)

= $6,206.8965

= $6,206.90

Year 2 = 8,900 / ( 1 + 0.16) ²

= $6,614.149

= 6,614.15

Year 3 = 7,500 / ( 1 + 0.16)³

= $4,804.93

Year 1 + Year 2 + Year 3

= 6,206.90 + 6,614.15 + 4,804.93

= $17,625.98‬

It failed to pay back the $17,700

PIT_PIT [208]
<span>Who is better off: a person using credit cards or a person refraining from any loans? A person using credit cards is better off </span>from a person refraining from any loans. A person using credit can often purchase more and have more flexibility with their money over someone who only uses cash. There are items and services that do not take cash as a form of payment, so without a credit card the person can not make the purchase.

C. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will reduce because the direct cost of the train ticket will fall.

D. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will increase because the direct cost of the train ticket will rise

Answer:

A. The total cost of commuting from any given distance to work will reduce because the indirect cost of the commute will fall

Explanation:

Technological advances in wireless communication technology, would reduce the indirect cost of long commutes from any given distance which would cause a reduction in the total cost of commuting, as a function of the effect of geographic area of cities. Direct cost of train ticket would not be affected as the efficiency of the services that train and car riders would offer would increase, as well as the satisfaction they would also enjoy from such technological advances.

The income statement of Dolan Corporation for 2012 included the following items:
torisob [31]

Answer:

C) $16,000.

Explanation:

cash paid for insurance premiums = total insurance expense + ending balance of prepaid insurance - beginning balance of prepaid insurance

cash paid for insurance premiums = $15,200 + $3,000 - $2,200 = $16,000

Generally when you purchase an insurance policy you can either pay every month or pay for several months in advance and get a discount. When you pay for several months in advance, you must debit prepaid insurance. Then as time passes, you must accrue insurance expense. For e.g. you pay $2,400 today for a 1 year insurance premium, and at the end of the month you will accrue $200 of insurance expense. But your cash payment was made today.
