aalyn [17]

Answer: ARR = Average profit/Initial outlay x 100

               ARR = $19,000/$250,000 x 100

               ARR = 7.60%

The correct answer is C

               

               Depreciation = Cost - Residual value/Estimated useful life

                                       = $250,000 - $20,000/5 years

                                       = $46,000 per annum

               Average profit = Total profit/No of years

                                         = $325,000/5

                                         = $65,000

                                                                       $

              Average profit                           65,000

        Less: Depreciation                           46,000

       Average profit after depreciation   19,000

Explanation: In determining the accounting rate of return of the investment, there is need to calculate depreciation using straight line method. The amount of depreciation would be deducted from the average profit so as to obtain the average profit after depreciation. The average profit would be divided by the initial outlay in order to obtain the accounting rate of return.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

D0 = $1.88

D1 = 1.88*1.25 = $2.35

D2 = 2.35*1.25 = $2.94

D3 = 2.94*1.25 = $3.67

PV of Dividends:

r = 12%

1/(1.12)  = 0.89

PV of D1 = 2.35/0.89 = $2.64

PV of D2 = 2.94/0.797 = $3.69

PV of D3 = 3.67/0.71 = $5.17

Total PV = $11.5

Value after year 3:

(D3*Growth rate)/(Required rate - growth rate) = $3.67*1.06/(0.12-0.06) = $64.8

Pv of 64.8 is 64.8/(1.12)^3 = $46.3

So, the maximum price per share is 11.5+46.3 = $57.8
