The common stock of Zeta Group sells for $42 per share, has a rate of return of 12.2 percent, and a dividend growth rate of 1.8
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The amount of the last annual dividend paid is <u>$4.3</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

The common stock of Zeta Group sells for $42 per share, has a rate of return of 12.2 percent, and a dividend growth rate of 1.8 percent annually.

Now, to find the amount of last annual dividend paid.

Let the amount of last annual dividend paid be l.

Price of per share (p) = \$42.

Rate of return (r) = 12.2\%.

Rate of dividend growth (g) = 1.8\%.

Now, to get the amount of last dividend paid we put formula:

p=\frac{l(1+g)}{r-g}

42=\frac{l(1+1.8\%)}{12.2\%-1.8\%}

42=\frac{l(1+0.018)}{0.122-0.018}

42=\frac{l\times 1.018}{0.104}

<em>Multiplying both sides by 0.104 we get:</em>

<em />4.368=1.018l<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 1.018 we get:</em>

4.3=l

l=\$4.3.

Therefore, the amount of the last annual dividend paid is $4.3.

5 Make versus buy, activity-based costing. The Svenson Corporation manufactures cellular modems. It manufactures its own cellula
zmey [24]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Expected manufacturing costs 2018:

Direct materials $170 × 10,000 = $1,700,000

Direct labor $45 per unit × 10,000 = $450,000

Variable overhead per batch 1,500 × 80 = $120,000

Fixed overhead:

Avoidable $320,000

Not avoidable $800,000

1. Calculate that total expected manufacturing cost per unit of making CMCBs in 2018

= $1,700,000 + $450,000 + $120,000 + $320,000 + $800,000

= $3,390,000

Cost per unit = $3,390,000/10,000 units

= $339 per unit

2. Svenson should keep manufacturing the CMCBs

Costs if CMCBs are purchased from Minton = ($300 × 10,000) + $800,000

= $3,000,000 + $800,000

= $3,800,000

It means that the cost of purchasing is $410,000 [ $3,390,000 - $3,800,000] higher than the cost of manufacturing.
