Answer:

0.37%

Explanation:

Since the expected payout ratio and earning per share is given, so we compute the current dividend which is shown below:

= Earning per share × payout ratio

= $2.75 × 70%

= $1.925

Now the cost of retained earning would be

= Current year dividend ÷ price + Growth rate

=  $1.925 ÷ $45  + 0.06

= 10.28%

And, the cost of new stock would be

= Current year dividend ÷ price × (1 - flotation cost) + Growth rate

=  $1.925 ÷ $45 × (1 - 0.08)  + 0.06

= 10.65%

So, the exceed cost would be

= 10.65% - 10.28%

= 0.37%

A firm incurs $400 to manufacture a television. In the market, customers are willing to pay a maximum of $600 for the television
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

D. Economic value created.    

Explanation:

The reason is that the economic value created is the difference between the price the customer is willing to pay and the cost that the product actually costs to the firm.

Following is the formula for calculation of economic value created:

Economic Value Created = Value customer willing to pay   -  Cost of product

Here the television costs $400 to the firm and the customer is willing to pay $600 for the television. So by putting the values we have:

Economic Value Created = $600 - $400 = $200

So the correct option is option D.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Let 1 year Treasury securities = t

So, Four year Treasury = [(Yield of 3 years Treasury × No. of year) + ( t × No. of  year)] ÷ Number of year

So, by putting the value, we get

6.5% = [(6% × 3) + ( t × 1)] ÷ 4

[(6% × 3) + t] = 6.5% ×4

t = 8%

So, the rate on 1-year Treasury securities three years from now is 8%.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Fixed costs= 1,100,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

During its most recent fiscal year, Dover, Inc. had total sales of $3,200,000. Contribution margin amounted to $1,500,000 and pretax income was $400,000.

We need to reverse engineer the income statement to determine the total fixed costs. We know that the pretax income is the difference between the total contribution margin and the fixed costs.

Pretax= total contribution margin - fixed costs

400,000= 1,500,000 - FC

Fixed costs= 1,500,000 - 400,000

Fixed costs= 1,100,000
