Elenna [48]

Answer:  5.15%

The Constant Dividend Growth Model is used to calculate the price of a stock given the next dividend that will be paid on it, its required return and its constant growth rate by the formula;

Price = \frac{Next Dividend}{Rate of Return - Growth rate}

9.084482‬ - 4.32 = 92.51g

92.51g = 4.764482‬

g = 0.0515

g = 5.15%

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$525,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what amount would it have recorded the equipment for on 6/30/2021

First step is to calculate the total interest for 10 months;

Based on the information given since the amount of $15,000 was the interest for 6 months in the year 2021 in which the note lasted for 10 months the total interest will be:

Total Interest = 10months/6months x $15,000 Total Interest=$25,000

Now let calculate 6/30/2021 Equipment

6/30/2021 Equipment=$550,000-$25,000

6/30/2021 Equipment=$525,000

Solve accepted a 60-day, 9 percent note from Pete Houghton in settlement of his past-due account for $6,000. On April 9, Westwoo
Stolb23 [73]

Missing information:

The note was accepted on March 10

Answer:

$6,029.10

Explanation:

in order to answer the question, I assumed a 360 day year, so 60 days = 2/12 of a year

the note's value on maturity date = principal + accrued interest = $6,000 + ($6,000 x 9% x 2/12) = $6,000 + $90 = $6,090

bank charges = note's value on maturity date x discount rate x 30 days = $6,090 x 12% x 1/12 = $60.90

net proceeds = $6,090 - $60.90 = $6,029.10
